Nature based reporting

About the film

Sustainability reporting is evolving, especially in nature-related disclosures. Hilary Eastman, Partner, ESG Reporting at KPMG, notes that over 300 companies have adopted the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ recommendations. This progress, along with new standards from the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, the International Sustainability Standards Board, and the Global Reporting Initiative, will help investors better assess nature-related risks and opportunities.

Nature related risks are closely tied to climate change, requiring businesses to address both simultaneously. Sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, financial services, and extractives are particularly affected. Investors need to monitor these standards and disclosures to understand their long-term impact on business performance and investment value.
