Biodiversity
Understand and manage nature-related risks
Biodiversity is increasingly becoming a strategically relevant topic in the financial sector. Nature-related risks - such as the loss of ecosystem services, declining availability of natural resources or regulatory tightening - have a direct financial impact on companies, portfolios and entire markets. This increases the pressure on banks, insurance companies and investors to systematically assess nature-related opportunities and risks and integrate them into decision-making processes.
At the same time, regulators, customers and capital markets expect more transparency on how financial institutions manage their nature-related exposures. Frameworks such as TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) and science-based approaches such as SBTN (Science-Based Targets for Nature) are setting new standards for nature-related reporting, risk assessment and target setting. They provide guidance on how biodiversity can be made measurable and embedded in risk and portfolio management.
For the financial sector, this means Biodiversity is not just an ecological challenge, but a key factor for risk management, resilience and long-term value creation. Institutions that address nature-related impacts and dependencies at an early stage strengthen their position vis-à-vis regulators, investors and customers - and at the same time contribute to a more stable, sustainable economy.
