New Launch: Take Control of Nature-related Risks with One Dashboard for 1,000s of sites
New Portfolio Assessment feature enables enterprises to standardise biodiversity monitoring and identify high-risk sites at scale.
London, UK – 15th September 2025
NatureMetrics, the global leader in nature and biodiversity intelligence, today announced the launch of Portfolio Assessment. Powered by AI, this first-of-its-kind comprehensive platform feature enables corporations to monitor and assess nature-related risks across their entire portfolio of sites from a single dashboard.
The new tool addresses a critical gap in corporate environmental risk management: providing companies with clear visibility into their biodiversity impact and exposure to nature-related risks across multiple operational sites.
Previously, organisations with extensive portfolios were forced to manage biodiversity data site-by-site, making it difficult to allocate resources effectively, track progress toward portfolio-level goals, or demonstrate compliance with environmental commitments.
Through Portfolio Assessment, NatureMetrics combines its industry-leading eDNA monitoring and ecological expertise with geospatial data layers and AI models to create powerful risk indicators. This enables sustainability leaders to easily and effectively manage different types of nature related risk, oversee operations, and transparently share data with stakeholders and regulators across global portfolios.
"The connection to ground-truth data is our key differentiator," explained Aktar Somalya, Chief Product Officer at NatureMetrics.
"While other providers rely solely on modelled data, we can validate our risk predictions with actual species presence data from our sampling network, providing confidence scores that enable more informed decision-making.
“Equipped with these insights, organisations can pinpoint their highest-risk locations and strategically direct resources toward building ecological resilience and protecting business continuity.”
The urgency for portfolio-level nature risk assessment has never been greater, with the number of climate litigation cases against oil companies tripling since the Paris Agreement, and fines for organisations failing to monitor and protect endangered species now reaching the tens of millions.
"Companies can no longer afford to ignore their impact on ecosystems. Addressing nature risk isn't just about compliance — it's about building business resilience and better managing our natural capital to safeguard future returns," said Dimple Patel, Chief Executive Officer at NatureMetrics.
“We’re witnessing a paradigm shift where natural risks are becoming part of the balance sheet. From supply chain disruptions to regulatory issues, companies can no longer treat environmental risks as externalities – they’re core business risks that threaten operational continuity and demand strategic action,” continued Patel, Chief Executive Officer at NatureMetrics. “Organisations that leverage ground-truth data and predictive analytics will be able to predict and anticipate the material risks, turning vulnerabilities into strategic differentiators.”
In addition to risk mitigation, robust monitoring further strengthens stakeholder confidence, building trust with regulators, investors, and local communities while smoothing approvals and lowering financing costs.
Portfolio Assessment integrates five measured habitat health indicators – land cover, connectivity, vegetation health, Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII), and Human Modification Index (HMI) alongside modelled risk indicators for the presence of invasive species and IUCN Red List species. The platform provides:
The Portfolio feature has been developed in response to growing regulatory pressure for biodiversity reporting and numerous client requests for multi-site data visualisation capabilities.
Portfolio Assessment is available now to select enterprise clients, with broader availability planned for Q4 2025. The feature is offered as part of NatureMetrics' comprehensive biodiversity intelligence platform, with pricing structured to scale based on portfolio size and complexity.
