PLAN FOR NATURE
I N S I G H T S
When it comes to protecting and restoring nature, investors, governments and non-governmental organisations are all pointing to the same key issue: we don’t currently have sufficiently robust or comprehensive data and tools to measure our impact on nature as precisely as we would like. Measurement and analysis is critical to building an understanding of the exposures and impacts of investments we make and portfolios we manage. Insight is necessary to manage, and invest in, natural capital at scale. We have invested heavily in developing the understanding and analysis that can help build a robust picture of our collective impact on nature – for our clients and wider society. Developing our understanding and analysis to identify the exposure to nature risk companies and assets have
“Because we don’t quantify the benefits of nature, we risk overlooking them altogether. Until we can measure our impact on nature, we’re not going to be able to answer to our clients, business won’t be able to report on it, and regulators around the world aren’t going to be satisfied. There’s a well-known saying in management that ‘what gets measured gets managed’ – a cliché, perhaps, but frighteningly accurate in the case of nature.”
