Nature Hub
Our economic system is reliant on our environmental systems and the resources and services that nature provides.
As we continue to deplete our natural assets, we increasingly jeopardise the benefits nature provides. Investing in natural capital assets and protecting our biodiversity are areas of growing focus. Investors are increasingly aware of the risks presented by environmental issues, including potential tipping points related to nature.
Developments such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) will increase the availability of information available to investors, helping identify where companies and institutions interact with nature and to evaluate their dependencies and impacts on nature. Opportunities also exist to invest directly in natural assets, and the companies and technologies that support them.
How we can help
We work with asset owners to help them understand issues relating to natural capital and biodiversity. We can help investors assess portfolios for key areas of risk and opportunity, develop metrics in relation to biodiversity and choose the most appropriate. We can also help fulfil the disclosure and reporting requirements of TNFD and engage with asset managers on how they are addressing risks.
Factoring nature into your investment strategy

Yet, pollution, overexploitation, and climate change threaten its health. Despite growing interest, investor awareness remains low. Explore more and take action by downloading our article.
