Nature advisory

Leading companies in sectors from energy, agriculture and finance are measuring their nature footprint and taking action to reduce and balance these impacts.

They may be driven by environmental market opportunities, stakeholder pressure, risk and opportunity identification or reporting requirements like the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD). They recognise that science-backed nature positive strategies and investments can deliver tangible outcomes for business, landholders and the environment.

With Australia’s mandatory climate reporting expected to expand to include nature, and the Australian Government’s focus on reforming environmental laws, companies with large landholdings or significant environmental footprints are encouraged to take a proactive approach to managing nature risks and impacts.
