How Our Approach Works

Natcap combines world-leading science expertise with, location-specific supply chain intelligence and proprietary models to help organisations identify, quantify and act onprioritise environmental risks and opportunities.

Our approach translates complex environmental information into transparent, auditable and decision-ready insights. 

 

Integrate Best-in-Class Data We combine proprietary internal data, for example on water use or input price volatility, with environmental and, geospatial datasets from more than 30 data providers, including IBAT, ecoinven, and Google Dynamic World, enabling precise analysis across business locations, supply chains and investment portfolios.
Apply Proprietary Methods and Models Developed through more than seven years of research and development, our methodologies are rooted in peer reviewed science and designed to produce consistent, transparent and defensible results.
Assess Environmental Risk Across Your Value Chain We assess impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities across direct operations and supply chains spanning more than 200 commodities.
Translate Analysis into Decision-Ready Insight We add interpretive layers such as risk concern scores, biodiversity context layers, prioritisation heatmaps and financial consequence scores, helping organisations understand where risks are concentrated, which risks are most material and where to act first.
“Our methods help clients see the big picture across their business, then zoom in to the sites and commodities driving that risk and, crucially, understand why. This takes our approach beyond simple prioritisation, giving clients the insight they need to take action.”
Ben Howes
Dr Benjamin HowesPrincipal Scientist, Natcap
“Absolute numbers alone don't tell you what to prioritise. Our five-point risk concern scores turn absolute impact and dependency values into a clear intuitive signal of what matters most, so you can focus attention and resources on where the risk is real.”

“Our methods cover a broad range of nature-related risks, including many physical and transition risks. This enables clients to gain comprehensive insights across multiple risk dimensions and strengthen their long-term resilience to nature-related challenges.”

What Sets Natcap Apart

  • World-Leading Science

    Founded at the University of Oxford, Natcap's methods are built by scientists and grounded in peer-reviewed research, not just expert opinion. Our methods harness over 30 best-in-class data sets, including IBAT and ecoinvent.

  • Location-Specific Supply Chain Intelligence

    Natcap provides absolute values anchored in where your business actually operates, covering direct operations and 200+ commodities in the supply chain. This makes data audit-grade and comparable across sites, suppliers and portfolios, rather than averaged into sector-level generalities.

  • Financial Materiality

    We quantify the likelihood and the financial consequence of nature-related risks, in monetary terms your CFO or investment team can act on. Most providers stop at generic scores and heatmaps.

  • Framework Alignment

    Our data products enable you to confidently meet TNFD, CSRD, EUDR, ISSB and all other relevant disclosure and compliance requirements and includes more than 70 TNFD- and CSRD-aligned metrics. 

    Our advisory team combines our data with commercial experience, helping you turn the numbers into sustainability reports, supplier decisions and transition plans. 

  • Flexible Delivery

    Our delivery model is tailored to each client’s needs, combining scalable technology, flexible data access and expert strategic advisory to turn environmental intelligence into action.
