Nature is no longer a peripheral sustainability issue. From water scarcity and land-use change to biodiversity loss and tightening regulation, nature-related risks are now material business risks - affecting costs, supply chain resilience, financial performance, and long-term strategy.
Yet most organisations still struggle to answer some fundamental questions: Where do we depend on nature? Where are our biggest impacts and risks? Which of these are financially material, and what should we do about them?
Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Natcap platform: a nature intelligence platform designed to help organisations measure, report, and act on nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities across their value chains with precision and confidence.
Every business relies on nature. Companies depend on ecosystem services such as water availability, soil quality, and pollination, while simultaneously impacting nature through operations and supply chains. As ecosystems degrade and become less resilient, these dependencies and impacts increasingly translate into financial, operational, and reputational risks.
At the same time, expectations are rising. Regulators, investors, and customers are demanding credible, auditable disclosures aligned with frameworks such as the TNFD and CSRD. But for many organisations, existing approaches fall short.
Common challenges include:
The result is often qualitative assessments that are difficult to prioritise, hard to defend, and disconnected from business decision-making.
The Natcap platform was built to close this gap.
It provides organisations with a single source of truth for nature-related analysis across their operations and value chain, combining high-resolution, location-specific nature data with financial and operational insight to turn complexity into clarity.
Built on best-in-class science and enterprise-grade technology, the platform enables companies to move beyond high-level assessments and generate credible, quantitative, and auditable intelligence that can be used with confidence by sustainability teams, risk managers, procurement leaders, executives, and boards.
Using the Natcap platform, organisations can:
Measure What Matters
Report with Credibility
Act with Confidence
Together, these capabilities allow organisations to embed nature into business strategy—rather than treating it as a standalone reporting exercise.
At the core of the Natcap platform is a robust, transparent analytical engine.
The platform ingests:
These inputs are analysed through our proprietary methods and datasets, applying standardised metrics, thresholds, and aggregation methods across sites, commodities, and value chains. The result is a set of contextualised nature insights, supported by auditable methodology and enriched by Natcap’s scientific expertise.
This approach ensures that insights are not only scientifically credible, but also comparable, repeatable, and decision-relevant, enabling organisations to track progress over time and respond as risks evolve .
Natcap’s platform is released alongside expert technical advisory support.
Customers typically begin with an initial screening and location identification, followed by an assessment of dependencies and impacts. From there, they can drill deeper into site-specific, commodity-level, and supply-chain risk insights, supported by Natcap’s multidisciplinary team of scientists and advisors.
The platform integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing teams across sustainability, procurement, risk, and leadership to collaborate around a shared, trusted evidence base.
Founded in 2018 by scientists at the University of Oxford, Natcap combines scientific rigour with practical solutions for business.
Our platform is trusted by world-leading companies and partners and is built on:
The result is nature intelligence that stands up to scrutiny from executives, boards, investors, and regulators alike.
Nature risk is business risk, but it can also be a source of resilience, insight, and opportunity.
The Natcap platform helps organisations understand where nature matters most to their business, quantify the value at stake, and take action where it counts.
