The Business Case for Nature: A Leadership Breakfast on Risk and Opportunity
Barclays HQ Churchill Place Canary Wharf London E14 5HP
About this Event
Nature is increasingly being recognised as a material issue for business.
From water availability and land degradation to evolving disclosure requirements like Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the ways in which companies depend on natural systems are becoming more visible. These are not just environmental issues; they have real implications for supply chains, risk exposure and corporate reporting.
Join Environment Bank and Barclays for a high-level breakfast discussion during London Climate Action Week. This session will explore how some companies are starting to treat nature as essential infrastructure, and how nature-related investments are beginning to play a role in supporting resilience, compliance and long-term value.
We will examine how businesses are responding to emerging frameworks such as TNFD and Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), and what practical steps leaders can take today to address nature-related risks and opportunities.
Panellists will share insights on:
– How nature-related risks and dependencies are influencing operational and financial decision-making
– The shift from traditional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) towards science-based approaches to nature investment
– How verified ecological data can support TNFD, CSRD and SBTN-aligned reporting
– What credible, forward-looking business action on nature looks like, and why timing matters
