How are corporates tackling nature reporting?
In recent years, corporates have increasingly been trying to work out how to approach nature reporting. How has the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) aided firms in their efforts? And what are the initial insights from Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reports regarding how corporates are approaching ESRS E4 Biodiversity and ecosystems? Stephanie Hime, founder and managing director of sustainability-focused consultancy Little Blue Research, is well placed to explore these questions. She helped develop the Capitals Coalition’s natural capital protocol and sector guides, and is also the project lead for the International Organisation for Standardisation’s standard on natural capital accounting. In this episode, Hime sits down with RI’s nature reporter, Gina Gambetta, to explore how corporates have been evolving their approach to nature reporting, what resources are available to help those getting started, and what key developments they should be aware of.
