As sustainability efforts worldwide advance, Katie Parry dives into how businesses are preparing to integrate nature intelligence into their decision-making. Our CEO, Sebastian Leape, shares his insights on the evolving landscape of nature-related risks, regulations, and opportunities, highlighting key frameworks like the TNFD and CSRD that are setting new standards for corporate sustainability.
Natcap has taken the lead in delivering nature intelligence for business, enabling companies to quantify their impact on nature and address associated risks. Leape shares Natcap’s vision, explaining,
We have a unique opportunity to accelerate the nature-positive transition by bringing world-class nature intelligence in a low-cost, repeatable, scalable format to companies looking to expand their sustainability agenda.
From our beginnings as an Oxford University initiative focused on consulting, Natcap has evolved into a technology-driven platform, empowering companies across Europe and Asia to embed nature into their business strategies.
With a platform designed to handle the complexity of measuring and interpreting nature metrics, Natcap supports companies in aligning with global standards like the TNFD and CSRD. Leape describes the landscape as a “story in three parts,” led by Europe’s commitment to the CSRD, Japan’s early adoption of the TNFD, and sporadic progress in other regions.
As data availability increases, Sebastian emphasises the need for actionable insights:
The real gap now is nature intelligence to align data with frameworks like the TNFD, interpret it for your business, and take action.
The importance of active collaboration with governments to clarify sector-specific pathways and align policies with nature-positive targets is paramount. Sebastian points to upcoming COP16 discussions, where biodiversity policies and nature-based financial frameworks will be central topics:
“Companies need clarity on what is expected of their sector to align with the global biodiversity framework and other nature-related targets.”
For businesses, proactive investment in nature is essential. With partners like MS&AD in Asia, Natcap is at the forefront of transforming risk assessments into value-driven strategies. Leape advocates for more investments in nature, highlighting the role of investors in setting expectations:
The biggest asset owners have a huge role in setting standards and expectations for companies.
Overall, Katie’s conversation with Leape underscores Natcap’s role in advancing nature intelligence, illustrating the path forward for businesses ready to embrace nature-positive practices.
