Schroders Plan for Nature

PLAN FOR NATURE

I N F L U E N C E

Engaging with and influencing companies to reduce their exposure to nature risk Biodiversity loss has been identified as one of the top three most severe risks to economic value over the next ten years, 6 with some US $44 trillion of economic value generation dependent on nature. 7 We can play a key role in addressing nature risks in our clients’ portfolios, by pursuing a more nature positive economy. We can do this by seeking to influence the many companies whose operations and value chains impact or are dependent on nature. As an active manager, with hundreds of experienced and insightful analysts and fund managers around the world, we have a distinct opportunity to engage constructively with company management teams and support them to transform their business models to a more sustainable footing.

To maximise our impact, we have made nature central to our engagement strategy. Since 2018, we have engaged more than 200 companies on the topic, helping them understand nature-related risks and opportunities, and the need to take action. 8
