Nature Positive Strategy & ESG Biodiversity Advisory services

Companies increasingly face nature-related risks, regulatory pressure, and stakeholder expectations to demonstrate credible biodiversity management, however most organizations struggle with:

• Lack of internal expertise to apply TNFD or SBTN frameworks
• Limited visibility on nature-related impacts, dependencies and IROs across supply chains
• Fragmented biodiversity data that cannot support CSRD ESRS-E4 reporting
• Difficulty translating ecological information into business-relevant KPIs and strategy

In-house technical expertise addressing biodiversity strategy can cost €80,000–€100,000+ per year, making them inaccessible for many organizations.

As a result, companies risk:

• Non-compliance with sustainability regulations
• Exposure to supply chain disruptions linked to ecosystem degradation
• Reputational risks from weak biodiversity commitments
• Missed opportunities to create regenerative and resilient value chains.
• Loss of investment and more convenient rates

This service provides a science-based yet practical approach to integrate biodiversity into corporate sustainability strategies. The methodology combines:

• TNFD LEAP Framework Application

• SBTN Framework Application

• Regulatory compliance 

• Nature-Positive Strategy & KPI Design

• Regenerative Certification comparative assessment

• Competitive Advantage

Early adoption of biodiversity management strengthens ESG positioning.

• Reputational Risk Reduction

Increased transparency and reduced exposure to reputational risk and greenwashing affecting brand image.

• Investor Confidence

Improved credibility with investors and sustainability rating agencies.

• Resilient Supply Chains

Understanding ecosystem dependencies reduces operational disruptions.

• Nature-Positive Transformation

Shift from compliance-driven sustainability to regenerative value creation.

It is especially relevant for organizations facing:

• CSRD ESRS-E4 biodiversity reporting requirements
• TNFD adoption for nature-risk disclosure
• SBTN nature target setting
• Sustainability transformation initiatives in global value chains.

SMEs and mid-size companies benefit from a cost-effective alternative to large consulting firms, while larger organizations use this service as an initial diagnostic before scaling implementation projects.

To enable efficient delivery, the client is expected to:

• Participate in an initial discovery call (30–60 min)
• Provide company overview and operational data
• Share existing sustainability reports or policies
• Identify priority operations or supply chain segments
• Provide access to relevant geographical information or supplier data
• Define and participate in recurrent strategy discussion sessions along the duration of the project
• Provide feedback on draft reports within agreed timelines.

1. What Makes This Service Unique

Nature loss is one of the fastest-growing business risks, with potential global economic losses estimated at $2.7 trillion per year. Companies operating in agriculture, food systems, textiles, forestry, and land-based supply chains are increasingly exposed to nature-related risks while simultaneously depending on ecosystem services.

This service translates biodiversity science into practical business strategy, helping organizations identify nature-related risks and regenerative opportunities while building a credible Nature-Positive strategy aligned with TNFD and SBTN frameworks. Unlike traditional biodiversity consulting focused mainly on ecological analysis, this approach bridges environmental science, ESG reporting, and operational strategy, enabling companies to move beyond compliance and integrate biodiversity management directly into decision-making and supply chain transformation.

The service is structured in three progressive packages — PILOT, SCALE, and IMPLEMENT — guiding companies to gain initial awareness through a low-investment pilot assessment, to supply-chain-wide diagnostics, and finally to implementation support for solutions defined in a tailored Nature-Positive strategy.

2. Methodology and Technology

The service combines science-based frameworks with advanced digital tools recommended by global sustainability standards.

Key components include:

• TNFD LEAP Framework for structured nature-related risks and opportunities analysis
• SBTN AR³T Framework for science-based definition of targets and actions
• Spatial environmental analysis using GIS, Google Earth Engine, remote sensing, and global biodiversity datasets
• Risk evaluation tools including ENCORE, WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter and WRI Aqueduct
• Regulatory compliance aligned with CSRD ESRS-E4, GRI101 and other regulations 
• KPI design: tailored regenerative outcomes-based frameworks with measurable biodiversity indicators and KPIs
• Nature-Positive Strategy: identifying regenerative opportunities to transform the supply chain
