NatureMetrics launches Global Nature Risk tool to help businesses turn nature disclosure into action

London, Tuesday 15th June 2026, 9AM BST – NatureMetrics has launched its new Global Nature Risk tool. This risk screening solution is designed to help businesses understand, prioritise and act on nature-related risk across entire portfolios by providing businesses with a dynamic and quarterly updated view of nature-related risk across their sites.

Aligned with the TNFD framework, NatureMetrics' Global Nature Risk product brings together a business's impacts on nature, its dependencies on nature, and the integrity and sensitivity of nature itself, turning these into decision-grade signals and a 0–1 risk score for every site, asset or geography.

The tool enables organisations to understand both their impacts on nature and their exposure to nature-related risk, supporting double materiality assessments – the requirement to report both the financial risks nature poses to a business and the business's impacts on nature. Because every score sits on the same scale, results aggregate up across a portfolio for fast risk prioritisation and break down to the specific drivers behind any site's impacts, dependencies and risk profile

Nature-related risk assessment emerged as a reporting tool to align with voluntary frameworks. But with the World Bank estimating that the collapse of selected ecosystem services could cost the global economy up to US$2.7 trillion annually by 2030, organisations are increasingly considering nature in enterprise risk, procurement, operations and investment decision-making.

Global Nature Risk sits within the NatureMetrics Nature Intelligence Platform, meaning the moment a high-risk site surfaces, organisations can move straight to action. With ground-truthed habitat and species data, organisations can unlock accurate insights, identify where exposure is concentrated, and prioritise where deeper mitigation and investment are needed. As data is regularly refreshed, organisations can monitor progress over time and gain confidence that their interventions are delivering measurable results.

“Businesses increasingly recognise that their dependencies and impacts on nature can have a direct effect on long-term business resilience and success. The challenge now is turning that understanding into action.” said Dimple Patel, CEO at NatureMetrics. “However, many nature risk teams remain at an assessment stage of geographic information gathering and data analytics instead of taking action to manage evolving risks that can inform business decisions. By bringing together impacts, dependencies and the state-of-nature, our approach provides a more dynamic picture of nature-related risk. This helps businesses move beyond disclosure and embed nature into decision-making across strategy, risk management and operations.”

The approach has already demonstrated how nature-risk assessments can create value beyond just disclosure. Working with clients across key sectors such as mining and renewable energy, NatureMetrics has helped identify where nature-related risk was concentrated across the company's areas of influence, producing TNFD-aligned outputs that could be directly translated into commitments, strategies and action plans.

By integrating these insights into a single platform, NatureMetrics is making nature risk assessment more accessible and scalable, helping meet growing demand from industries such as financial services that have historically lacked robust nature-risk monitoring capabilities.

Key benefits include:

• Portfolio-wide screening of nature-related risk across sites, assets and geographies
• A transparent 0–1 risk score that enables consistent comparison and prioritisation
• Dynamic risk intelligence that can be refreshed over time as conditions and interventions change
• Support for TNFD-aligned reporting and broader compliance requirements
• Decision-ready insights for sustainability, risk, procurement and operations teams

Spencer Powell, Managing Director of Climate Finance at Just Climate, said: "Nature-related risks are already present in most investment portfolios. The barrier to acting on them has not been awareness, it has been access to data that is current, comparable across sites, and available at the speed investment decisions require. That is what Global Nature Risk unlocks: portfolio-wide visibility that is dynamic and decision-ready, so companies can identify where nature risk is concentrated and prioritise intervention before it hits the balance sheet." Just Climate is an investor in NatureMetrics.

While organisations have begun assessing nature-related risk through frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), many are recognising that nature risk must move beyond reporting and become part of day-to-day business decision-making, informing how companies manage operations, supply chains, investments and long-term resilience.
