Nature-related risks are financially
material, but hard to measure

The cost of conventional monitoring, accessibility of remote sites, and
poor and fragmented data pose barriers to effective nature risk
management. NatureMetrics is changing this.

Supporting permiting and capital allocation

  • Front-load risk discovery. Early, high-resolution screening lets you map no-go zones, focus effort on lower-risk areas, and make site selection and project design faster, leaner, and far safer.
  • Earn your license to operate. Build trust with critical stakeholders with clear, transparent evidence on how impacts will be minimized and restored.
  • Unlock investment. Demonstrate superior risk management with a robust biodiversity strategy that passes ESG screening and minimises the risk of environmental opposition or regulatory breaches.

Reduce liabilities
and free up capital

Reduce the burden of closure.
Optimise closure plans to reduce long-term monitoring requirements and other associated costs, based on high-resolution data on the pre-mining ecosystem.

Deploy the mitigation hierarchy.
A core principle of the ICMM, apply every stage with more confidence to reduce future restoration costs and avoid reputational & financial risk.

Add credibility to offsets.
Building credibility with regulators and investors by backing restoration projects with verifiable, high-integrity, high-resolution data.

Access premium “green” commodity markets

  • Meet growing demand for traceable minerals. Buyers like Apple and HSBC-backed funds are paying premiums for sustainably sourced minerals.
  • Add credibility to credentials. Continuous biodiversity monitoring provides verifiable proof of provenance, critical in the high-value “green” market.
  • Verify nature-positive claims. As the industry shifts to Net Positive Impact, show measurable ecosystem improvements and position yourself as a preferred, future-ready supplier.

Design smarter nature-based solutions

  • Spot opportunities. Scope opportunities for nature-based solutions that stabilise land, protect water, and build site resilience.
  • Make impact measurable. Generate robust baselines and ongoing monitoring that evidence results and optimizes management.
  • Deliver lasting value. Show you’re going beyond compliance to deliver long-term value that cuts risk, supports communities, and strengthens climate resilience.
