Almost half our global economy is dependent on nature, but we are depleting it faster than its ability to replenish. Research by the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and the Dutch National Bank (DNB) suggests that biodiversity loss poses a systemic risk to the financial system and the economy.  \nDependencies: How companies rely on biodiversity and the services it provides. Examples include raw materials, water supply, pollination, carbon storage and flood management to name a few.  \nImpacts: How companies affect biodiversity. Their activities change the quality and quantity of nature through the five drivers of biodiversity loss as defined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) . These are land and sea use change, resource exploitation, invasive species, pollution, and climate change.  \nPhysical risk: The financial risk as a result of the degradation of these ecosystem services.  \nTransition risk: The financial risk that results from the misalignment of  \ncompany  \naction with the increased expectations of regulators, consumers, and investors as regards reducing impact on nature and restoring it.  \nWHITE PAPER MARCH 2024  \nMarketing material for professional investors, not for onward distribution.  \nRashila Kerai  \nBiodiversity Specialist  \nMorgan Williams  \nSI Data Strategist  \n2 Navigating the biodiversity landscape – February 2024  \nFigure 1 – Relationship between company impacts and dependency with biodiversity  \nCompanies depend on ecosystems and their services  \nEcosystems and services  \nCompany value chain  \nDrivers  \nLand and sea use change Resource exploitation Invasive species Pollution  \nClimate change  \nUpstream   \nDownstream  \nBusiness activities  \nCompanies impact ecosystems and their services  \nSource: Robeco  \nOur clients are increasingly recognizing this systemic risk, and nature has accordingly begun to rise higher on their agendas. The results of our 2023 annual Climate Survey show that while biodiversity is a high priority among clients, they struggle with to a lack of suitable data and in-house subject matter expertise.  \nAddressing biodiversity-related impacts and dependencies is more complex than many other sustainability topics  \nBiodiversity loss is a global issue, albeit with highly localized impacts. Nature encompasses species, ecosystems and ecosystem services. Each of these come with different measurements that we cannot easily aggregate into a single number. We have to accept that we will not have a single measure for biodiversity without making trade-offs and, consequently, different tools will continue to develop to support our understanding of the different aspects of nature for the following reasons:  \n1. Unlike climate change where we have a single metric (greenhouse gas emissions) and a framework with which to calculate it (The Greenhouse Gas Protocol), we will not have a globally accepted methodology to calculate biodiversity loss and impacts.  \n2. Biodiversity footprint calculations aim to bring together disparate impacts into one number, but they pose their own challenges, which we will discuss further in this paper.  \n3. Policy and regulations will not rely on a single measure of biodiversity, and consequently, neither will investments.  \nWe warmly welcome the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations introduced in 2023 that outline the future of reporting for corporates, laying out what information we can expect, and how investors should use this information to inform our own strategy and actions.
