Nature has officially entered the boardroom.

Nature has officially entered the boardroom.
Just this month:
✔Over 400 organisations confirmed alignment with the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures), many of them global corporates and asset managers.
✔ Large companies are now already reporting on nature-related dependencies and risks under the CSRD (ESRS E4). Meanwhile, later waves have received a two-year delay - giving them space.... but also a warning that the trend is set.
✔ In Aotearoa NZ, climate-related disclosures are now officially putting Scope 3 under the microscope - the category where nature and climate most often intersect.

Nature is showing up in climate targets, financial risk assessments, and value chain decisions.

Why does this matter?
Because these aren’t distant issues. They’re affecting the commercial resilience of supply chains, cost of capital, and consumer trust. And we’ve proven that these risks can now be quantified... hence so can the potential commercial gains.

For many sectors, nature risks and opportunities hide in full value chains (Scope 3 carbon assessments) - e.g. water scarcity and biodiversity.

While some businesses still treat Scope 3 as a compliance headache (which it can be if not managed well), as specialists in Scope 3 (and 4!) we’ve seen that in reality, it’s where the biggest levers for transformation exist.

We’re seeing growing demand from NZ boardrooms for strategic thinking that:
✔ Incentivises suppliers to reduce their emissions and restore ecosystems
✔ Improves climate risk and biodiversity outcomes together

To meaningfully deliver on climate goals, organisations are now looking to nature - and that means getting serious about the commercial opportunities hidden in their full value chains - scope 3.

To make a bold statement: this is one of NZ’s best opportunities to restore and even advance our clean, green brand. 🌍 💚
