A very good news : the more the different disclosure initiatives/frameworks/legislations will converge, especially on climate and biodiversity, the more corporates will be able to provide investors and all stakeholders with reliable and transparent disclosures ... at a reasonable cost.

This is a fantastic development for companies looking to enhance their environmental reporting! The collaboration between GRI and TNFD will provide much-needed guidance for organizations to better understand and communicate their nature-related impacts. I'm eager to see how this will encourage more businesses to adopt sustainable practices and prioritize biodiversity in their operations. #ESG #Sustainability #CorporateReporting

Today, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) announced that the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has begun addressing nature-related issues, building on #TNFD's guidance. Following the introduction of the #IFRSS1 and #IFRSS2 #sustainability reporting standards in 2023, this initiative marks a significant step toward establishing a global standard for #nature-related disclosures. David Craig, Co-Chair of the TNFD and a Competent Boards faculty, stated: “This is another important step forward to realizing both the need for an integrated global baseline for sustainability reporting and the aspirations of the Global Biodiversity Framework. The science is clear that climate change and nature loss are accelerating and market research is increasingly spotlighting how our dependencies and impacts on nature are creating material financial risks and also opportunities for companies across real economy sectors as well as for financial institutions.” Helle Bank Jørgensen, Founder and CEO of Competent Boards adds: "We are at a pivotal moment where integrating nature-related risks and opportunities into financial reporting is not just prudent, it's imperative. The collaboration between the TNFD and the ISSB to enhance nature-related disclosures is a testament to the global commitment to transparency and sustainability. Businesses and investors alike are realizing that understanding and acting on these environmental factors is crucial for long-term viability and success. This work lays the groundwork for more resilient and sustainable economies worldwide."

With #COP16 bringing together leaders from the private and public sectors in Colombia this week, it couldn't be more timely to explore the conversion of sustainability risks into financial risks as emerging standards and reporting measures are surfacing both in the European Union and globally.

Sustainability professionals interested in guiding their businesses towards realising and managing and reducing their nature impacts, this report is well worth a deep dive. Using the #mitigationhierarchy and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) & Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) frameworks, it provides some detailed guidance on wording for targets, metrics, governance, and some case studies. https://lnkd.in/g_UcZ6sq

Across the waters, Canada is stopping companies from greenwashing. Penalties anywhere between $10-15 million or 3x your profit gained from the deception. We're not claiming the new UK government will follow suit. But it's another reason why we like BNG for biodiversity impact. There's no greenwashing. You have to create, enhance, maintain and most importantly, register and report on the biodiversity impact for 30 years. If you underperform, you need to change tactics to get back on track or face enforcement. It's super clear for investors, businesses, and the public to see. And, when you work with experienced partners who manage it all for you, it's one the simplest ways to make a difference to the world (and meet your ESG goals). How do you currently tackle the new BNG laws?

1% is a scary statistic. With the growing number of sustainability regulations and initiatives like the $1.4trn investor coalition, assessing your company’s impact and dependencies on nature has never been more important. According to the World Benchmarking Alliance, only 5% of corporations assess their nature impact, and just 1% evaluate dependencies. Getting up to speed with your nature impacts is essential for future-proofing your business and complying with regulations such as TNFD and CSRD. At NatureMetrics, we provide the tools and insights you need to measure and mitigate nature-related risks so you can focus on managing your business.
