Nature risk services
What are our nature risk services?
All businesses depend on nature, for example through operations, supply chains, and the wider systems. As nature-related risks and dependencies are becoming a critical business issue, our services can help organisations understand how they interact with land, ecosystems, biodiversity, and how these create financial risk and opportunity.
We support organisations to assess, prioritise, and respond to nature-related issues in a way that is credible, proportionate and aligned with frameworks such as TNFD and emerging regulatory expectations.
Drawing on deep technical expertise and cross-sector experience, we ensure nature considerations are embedded into sustainability strategy, governance and reporting rather than treated as isolated environmental topics.
What this service covers.
Nature risk services help organisations understand, assess, and respond to their interactions with nature covering key topics such as land use and agricultural emissions, deforestation risk, biodiversity loss, and water stress. We take a structured approach to identifying both impacts and dependencies on natural systems, and how these translate into business risk and opportunity.
Some organisations might be unsure where to start, so we can support by mapping where their business interacts with nature across operations and value chains. This creates a clear, accessible foundation that can be used to engage internal stakeholders and prioritise action.
Others will require further developing granular, commodity- or asset-level analysis to support specific business decisions. This includes assessing nature-related risks and impacts at the level of raw materials, sourcing regions, or design choices, enabling more informed procurement, buying, and product development decisions.
Our approach is aligned with leading frameworks including the TNFD LEAP approach, SBTN, SBTi FLAG guidance, and relevant regulatory requirements such as CSRD, CSDDD. This ensures outputs are robust, decision-useful, and support both regulatory readiness and integration into wider business strategy.
Value and benefits.
The nature risk services helps organisations gain clear visibility of nature related risks and dependencies across operations and value chains. By identifying priority areas and aligning action with emerging frameworks, organisations can strengthen compliance, reduce exposure to deforestation and biodiversity risk, improve supply chain transparency and build credibility with investors and stakeholders. The result is greater resilience and preparedness for a rapidly evolving nature related reporting landscape.
Frequently asked questions.
What information do we need to start?
We help organisations identify where they interact with nature across operations and value chains, prioritising the most significant dependencies and impacts before gathering detailed data.
Is nature reporting mandatory?
Nature reporting has evolved. While some elements remain voluntary, regulations such as CSRD mean that biodiversity and ecosystem disclosures are expected.
How does this link to climate and carbon work?
Nature and climate are closely connected. For example, land use, deforestation, and agriculture are key drivers of emissions, while healthy ecosystems support climate resilience. Integrating both provides a more complete view of risk and opportunity.
Why does nature risk matter to our business?
Nature underpins all economic activity, through resources, ecosystem services, and stable operating conditions. As ecosystems degrade, businesses face increasing risks related to supply chain disruption, resource scarcity, regulatory change, and reputational pressure.
