The Church Commissioners for England present a compelling and comprehensive strategy where biodiversity is not an adjunct but central to their investment philosophy. With €12.9 billion in assets, of which a quarter is dedicated to real assets, the Commissioners integrate biodiversity across farmland, forestry and the built environment. Their forestry holdings are particularly notable, with 25% certified sustainable and at least 20% of land explicitly managed for biodiversity outcomes. Farming practices enhance soil health, reduce fertiliser use and store carbon, while forest management improves rivers, habitats and overall ecological resilience. The entry stands out not only for delivering the highest returns of the submissions—over 9% on infrastructure—but also for its depth, supported by audio-visual materials that illustrate both practices and impact. Extensive stakeholder engagement, from farmers and foresters to global regulators, demonstrates commitment to systemic change. Aligning respect for the planet with respect for people, the Commissioners set a strong benchmark in linking biodiversity, sustainability and long-term value creation.
