Impact and dependency materiality
Evaluate and prioritise the business–nature relationships that matter most.
What you need
Understanding impacts and dependencies is business critical. The role and responsibilities of businesses to mitigate impacts and dependencies on nature are widely recognised. Target 15 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, French Article 29, CSRD, TNFD and CDP reporting require companies to assess where and how their business models and value chains have negative impacts and dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems.
Whether you are an SME, multinational or financial institution, understanding which impacts and dependencies are material to your business and portfolio is key to effective risk management, strategy and target setting.
What we do
Our team has a deep knowledge of how multi-sector operations and supply chains impact and are reliant on ecosystems and natural resources. Our extensive expertise in guiding our clients through effective use of the TNFD LEAP framework will enable you to develop your nature strategies, action plans and risk assessments with ease.
Through a double materiality lens, we help you to define what is material, where it is located and how it affects your business. Our capabilities include:
- identifying locations, activities and commodities that are contributing high impact or are dependent on nature
- assessing the financial exposure and significance of impacts and dependencies to your assets, products and supply chains
- validating actual, not just likely, impact pathways, including high-impact commodities
- prioritising and planning by focusing on the most material impacts and dependencies where real risks and opportunities exist.
What you get
Clear identification and prioritisation of impacts and dependencies enable you to start taking meaningful action on nature, including
- knowing what you need to report for mandatory and voluntary frameworks, including TNFD, CSRD, CDP and VSME
- prioritising specific impact pathways and areas of the business that are most impactful and reliant on nature
- engaging effectively and in a targeted way with stakeholders on the topic of nature, biodiversity and ecosystems.
