Asking better questions on nature: What do directors need to know?
KPMG, Canary Wharf, 15 Canada Square, London E14 5GL
About this Event
Following the launch of TNFD’s ‘Asking Better Questions on Nature’ guide for board directors at Ecosperity Week in Singapore, which focuses on 12 key questions for board directors to ask company executives, and the sort of analysis they should expect to see from their organisations to support those discussions, this event at London Climate Action Week will continue the conversation.
The guide, produced in collaboration with Chapter Zero, Competent Boards, Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI) and Green Finance Institute, is designed to help senior executives across business and finance surface critical insights about nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities to inform their decision making.
Speakers will delve into the core aims of the guide and how boards and directors can use it as a resource in their risk management strategy, all leading towards being able to efficiently identify the decision-useful information needed to bring nature-related considerations into the company’s governance, strategy, risk management and capital allocation decision making.
We invite board members, non-executive directors, legal counsel and other senior and C-suite members to register for this event.
The session will include a short presentation and panel discussion, followed by discussion and breakouts with attendees. A light breakfast and coffee/tea will be served.
Speakers to be announced soon.

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is comprised of 40 business and finance leaders from around the world and was launched in 2021 with the support of the G20.
TNFD provides recommendations and guidance for market participants and other stakeholders about how nature beyond climate should be assessed, managed and reported. It has built a global movement of support and action, including over 500 organisations and over USD 17 trillion in assets under management (AUM) now committed to reporting their nature-related issues aligned with the TNFD recommendations published in September 2023. The TNFD recommendations build on the previous approach and recommendation of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and are aligned with the impact standards of the GRI, the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the sustainability reporting standards of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
