Pollination, in collaboration with Chapter Zero and Korn Ferry have produced Nature for Boards, a practical guide tailored for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) and board members. This report is designed to arm leaders with actionable strategies to embrace the nature-positive economy and align governance with sustainability imperatives.   The stakes have never been higher. Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse rank as the third most severe global risk for the next decade, according to the World Economic Forum. Forward-thinking organisations are stepping up: over 500 entities, collectively managing assets worth $17.7 trillion, have committed to disclosing nature-related risks through the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). Nature isn’t just a climate ally; it’s a business imperative in its own right.   James Cameron, NED of Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust, sums it up: “Boards must recognize the impact of their decisions on nature and the dependencies on natural systems. With TNFD, CSRD, ISSB standards, and new interpretations of corporate law, the expectations on businesses are shifting rapidly.”   This report explains how integrating nature into corporate strategies can unlock resilience, future-proof supply chains, and generate long-term value. While addressing nature risks may seem daunting, the most proactive companies are already turning it into a competitive edge.

This report, Nature for Boards: A Primer, offers a timely framework for integrating nature into corporate governance. It highlights that nature-related risks and opportunities are not peripheral concerns but pivotal to long-term business resilience and value creation.   Many sectors depend on complex, global supply chains that rely on healthy natural systems. Nature-positive strategies enhance resilience and reduce risk by securing supply chains, mitigating disaster impacts, and safeguarding insurability. These strategies are not just about managing risks but also about unlocking opportunities—an estimated $10 trillion in market potential by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum.   For boards, this could mean embedding nature into company strategies, aligning with emerging frameworks, and setting ambitious nature-positive goals.

This just landed! "...the report introduces “Essential Environmental Impact Variables” (EEIVs). They capture the most essential environmental impact of companies in a standardised manner. These impact disclosures must account for where, what, and how much impact happens. Armed with this information, companies and their investors can gain a vastly more accurate insight into their impact and the resulting risks. The report also introduces a new science-based tool – the Earth System Impact score (ESI). It offers a way for companies and investors to move beyond impact metrics focused primarily on carbon, and delivers a means to understand and communicate the global effect of their local impacts." https://lnkd.in/gtQ2T-my

🌳 'The business case for nature should be centre stage, and has the potential to be transformative.' 🐾 Read our Co-founder Maria Eugenia Filmanovic's thoughts on insetting and Scope 3 emissions in Reuters. Maria argues that insetting poses a real opportunity to get desperately needed corporate finance flowing into nature-based solutions, particularly given the Science Based Targets initiative's recent stance on the potential use of crediting mechanisms within company value chains. For more on how insetting can be scaled to tackle Scope 3 emissions, download Abatable and the International Platform for Insetting (IPI)'s report: https://lnkd.in/dEbYHyKD #Scope3 #EmissionsReduction #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Nature #Sustainability #SBTi

WEBINAR: 10/09/24 2:00PM - 3:30PM BST One Carbon World are proudly supporting this autumn’s UN Global Compact Network UK webinar series on Nature-based Solutions for Business. The webinar series has been designed to support businesses learn about different actions they can implement to support nature in line with their commercial and sustainability priorities. Those attending the four-part series will: -Understand the business case for implementing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and identify relevant NbS that could be suitable to implement in their direct operations, within their value chain, or outside of their value chain (i.e., as an investment in beyond value chain mitigation). -Receive practical guidance on how to implement, monitor, and maintain various types of NbS in line with the internationally-recognised IUCN Global Standard for NbS. -Hear examples of how leading businesses have successfully deployed NbS in partnership with local stakeholders to deliver business benefits and generate wider socio-economic value. -Learn what further action is needed to close the financing gap and scale NbS. The series is being launched on Tuesday 10 th September at 2pm with a webinar on “Land-based Solutions”. The inaugural webinar is being moderated by One Carbon World’s own Head of Carbon Removals, Hayley Warrens, and will explore the core concepts of implementing land-based solutions at the corporate level.

How Can Businesses Be Part of the Decarbonization Journey Without Straining Resources? Recently, I’ve engaged with many leaders who are asking the same question: "How can we genuinely contribute to climate action when time, capability, and resources are limited?" At Svantero, we’ve developed an approach that enables companies to participate in impactful decarbonization efforts. By partnering with us, businesses can channel their resources into projects that yield real environmental impact—helping them not only meet regulatory demands and minimize environmental taxes but also ensure their investments contribute to a sustainable future. Here’s why this matters: With environmental regulations tightening globally, many companies are incurring rising costs for compliance. But what if these compliance efforts could evolve into an opportunity for sustainable growth? Through Svantero, we’re investing in assets with measurable impact, from biochar facilities designed for carbon capture to reforestation initiatives. These projects offer companies the opportunity to support environmental goals without requiring significant internal resources, allowing them to navigate regulatory requirements while promoting positive change. Key advantages for our partners: Reduced Environmental Taxes: Partnering with Svantero helps mitigate compliance-related costs. Assured Impact: Investments are directed toward credible, high-impact sustainability projects. Enhanced Brand Integrity: Supporting genuine decarbonization initiatives demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, valued by both regulators and customers. Future-Ready Growth: Our projects align with global environmental standards, positioning businesses for a sustainable path forward. Imagine investments that go beyond offsetting, actively contributing to environmental stewardship. If you’re interested in exploring how we can work together toward these goals, I invite you to connect. #Decarbonization #Sustainability #Svantero #ClimateAction #RegulatoryCompliance #FutureReady
