Data, Disclosure and Stewardship

We are still in the relatively early days of nature featuring as a theme in institutional investment, but the direction seems one-way only despite potential political headwinds in the US and Europe.

A key facet of the nature-related investment drive is reporting and disclosure, with a transition from voluntary to mandatory disclosure requirements likely to continue. But nature is also being positioned as a must, or opportunity, for stewardship by the private sector.

In more concrete terms, since IPE Focus on Biodiversity 2023, the Taskforce on Nature-related Disclosures (TNFD) has come out with its framework for businesses and investors, while two collaborative investor engagement initiatives have been launched. Our new virtual forum will explore what these developments offer investors.

Featuring keynote presentations, panel discussions and case studies, the programme is designed to inspire and guide those looking to navigate this emerging area.
