Nature Positive: Corporate Assessment Guide for Financial Institutions

This insight report from the World Economic Forum can help you to better seize emerging nature-related opportunities and avoid related risks. The report urges financial institutions to proactively assess company efforts to align their strategies with nature-positive goals. Towards achieving this, the report provides eleven indicators that institutions can integrate into their portfolio assessments to mainstream nature in financial decision-making, including materiel nature impacts and dependencies, and risks and opportunities; nature metrics; nature ambition; nature targets; strategy and actions; planned spend; supplier engagement plan; and more.

Although written with financial institutions in mind, these indicators may be of benefit for other firms when assessing the nature-related progress of value chain partners and portfolio companies.
