Struggling with supply chain materiality? Focus on these three steps. One of the most complex steps when navigating CSRD or TNFD is determining which nature-related impacts and dependencies are material to your business. Without clear priorities, businesses risk wasted resources or missed opportunities. Here’s a practical approach: 1️⃣ Start with your hotspots Focus on regions or suppliers with known environmental challenges (e.g., deforestation, water stress). 2️⃣ Use the right frameworks Align your materiality assessment with standards like SBTN, TNFD, or the Global Biodiversity Framework. We suggest TNFD as it’s the most compatible with other standards. 3️⃣ Leverage tools and data Technology can bridge the gap where supply chain data is opaque or incomplete. The right tools speed up the data collection and analysis phase too. Clear priorities aren’t just about compliance. They’re about building resilience and unlocking new opportunities for your organisation. 🧠 Want to learn more?

You can measure nature in your supply chain. No matter how complex or opaque it seems. For sustainability leaders in complex industries, managing nature-related risks in global supply chains is a growing challenge. Fragmented frameworks, opaque data, and pressure to comply all make it harder to take action. But inaction comes at a cost. As over 500 companies adopt TNFD, failing to act risks reputational damage, operational vulnerabilities, and missed opportunities to strengthen resilience and drive efficiency. Join our exclusive webinar designed for leaders like you. Learn how to navigate TNFD and CSRD, measure nature-related risks across your supply chain, and embed actionable insights into your procurement and risk strategies. We’ll cover: 🌍 Practical strategies to measure and report on nature, no matter your supply chain visibility 🔑 Tools and frameworks to align with TNFD and CSRD confidently 💡 Real-world examples from leading industries to future-proof your operations With insights from David Croft, Matt Haddon and Beccy Wilebore. 🗓 Date: 4 December 2024 ⏰ Time: 12pm–1pm (UK Time) Add it to your calendar now: https://lnkd.in/ex4q7tPN #NaturePositive #Sustainability #TNFD #CSRD #SupplyChain Charles Shingles Sebastian Leape Gareth Hollywell

Nature-related risks are becoming harder to ignore. Measuring and managing nature in complex supply chains can feel impossible. You might encounter limited data and fragmented reporting frameworks, while the pressure to comply with CSRD only adds to the overwhelm. You might think it's too early to act, but some of the world’s largest organisations are starting to integrate nature into their supply chain management. Doing so increases business resilience and reduces the chance of reputational damage and exposure to long-term risks like resource scarcity. But where to start? On 4th December, we're bringing together experts from Reckitt, ERM and Natcap to help you turn complexity into clarity. 🌍 How to measure and report on nature, no matter your supply chain visibility 🔑 Practical strategies to align with key frameworks like TNFD and CSRD 💡 Real-world insights on embedding nature intelligence into procurement and risk practices 🗓️ Date: 4 December 2024 ⏰ Time: 12pm–1pm (UK Time) 🎟️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/ex4q7tPN #naturepositive #biodiversity #corporatesustainability Beccy Wilebore David Croft Matt Haddon Sebastian Leape Charles Shingles

How can businesses cut through complexity to source reliable, high-quality data for nature reporting and investment? At a time when biodiversity and natural capital are critical to both risk management and opportunity creation, the ability to measure, disclose, and act with confidence has never been more vital. But the challenges are daunting. Next week, our CEO, Sebastian Leape, will join Hannah Cool, Christian O'Dwyer, CFA and Saurabh Srivastava to discuss best practices for data collection, innovative analytical tools, transparency and disclosure. This panel is part of City & Financial Global's 4th Annual Natural Capital Summit on 28th November. It's bound to be an illuminating day.

🌿 Is nature in your supply chain the missing piece of your sustainability strategy? Measuring and managing nature in complex supply chains can feel overwhelming. Limited data, fragmented reporting frameworks, and compliance pressures from TNFD and CSRD only add to the challenge. But here’s the thing: failing to act doesn’t just risk non-compliance. It could mean missed opportunities to strengthen resilience, avoid reputational damage, and tackle long-term risks like resource scarcity. That’s why we’re hosting a webinar to help you turn complexity into clarity.

🗞️ Calling all CSOs, sustainability leads and planet-conscious investors. We bring you the first edition of The Nature Agenda, our monthly newsletter. This month we look at what COP16 means for business, alongside a summary of some interesting stories you might have missed.

On Tuesday, we brought together four leading voices in the nature and biodiversity sector to discuss what COP16 means for business. Here are 7 takeaways: 1. Business engagement is on the rise The conference saw record-breaking business attendance, with an estimated 3,000-5,000 business representatives compared to just 20-30 a decade ago. This included major players from mining, energy, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and agriculture sectors, alongside strong representation from financial services. 2. TNFD is building momentum The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has gained significant traction, reaching 502 early adopters - far exceeding the 270 that TCFD had secured at a similar stage. André Hoffmann emphasised how TNFD is "making it very real" for businesses to understand nature's materiality to their operations. 3. Progress on Indigenous representation Akanksha Khatri, Head of Nature Action Agenda at the World Economic Forum, highlighted a major win: the establishment of a new forum for Indigenous peoples and local communities, giving them a permanent voice in biodiversity negotiations. 4. Public finance gap remains Whilst there were successes, public financing fell significantly short of targets. Current mobilisation stands at about £400 million against a target of £20 billion per year, highlighting a critical funding gap that needs addressing. 5. Climate and nature are integrated Akanksha emphasised the growing recognition of the need to better integrate biodiversity and climate action. Discussions focused on aligning National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with climate NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions), particularly in the context of a safe and just energy transition. 6. Nature data is evolving Sebastian Leape highlighted how the conversation has shifted from "Do we have enough data?" to "How do we best use available data?" New technologies, including AI, satellite imagery, and ground-truthing methods, are improving nature-related measurements and monitoring. The main challenge now is understanding what to measure. 7. Biodiversity credits need developing Whilst still evolving, biodiversity credits gained significant attention. Akanksha stressed that for this market to succeed, it must "start from the point of integrity and clear governance standards" rather than treating these as afterthoughts. It was great to have Will Evison join us again. Will artfully weaved and contributed his insights on all of the above, contextualising for businesses.
