NATURE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORWARD-THINKING BUSINESSES
We help organisations integrate the Gold Standard Nature Responsibility Framework (NRF) into their sustainability strategy, guiding businesses toward taking responsibility for their impacts on nature.
What You Receive
Your NRF Deliverables
Every ValueChain assessment covers your full organisational carbon footprint, measured against the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
1. Impact Assessment
We assess your business dependencies and impacts on nature across your operations and value chains. This is not abstract environmental theory; it is a practical analysis of where your business intersects with natural systems and what that means for risk and opportunity.
2. Responsibility Area Guidance
The NRF defines five responsibility areas: governance and disclosure, minimising harm, place-based contributions, systemic contributions, and credible communications. We help you understand which areas are most relevant to your business and where to focus your efforts first.
3. Integration With Reporting
Nature-related risks and opportunities do not exist in isolation. We integrate NRF findings into your existing reporting and tender documentation, so your nature and climate commitments present a coherent picture to clients and assessors.
4. Practical Recommendations
As with everything we do, the focus is on what you can actually implement. Avoiding harm, restoring ecosystems, and contributing to systemic transformation all sound significant, but the value lies in specific, achievable actions for businesses your size.
Why It Matters
Why Nature Matters For Business
Nature loss is increasingly recognised as a business risk. Biodiversity decline, resource shortages, and ecosystem disruption are not abstract environmental concerns; they affect supply chains, operational stability, and financial performance.
The regulatory landscape is shifting. Nature-related disclosure requirements are emerging alongside climate reporting obligations. Businesses that understand their nature dependencies now will be better prepared when disclosure becomes mandatory.
Aligning with the Gold Standard NRF strengthens your credibility with clients who are beginning to ask about nature as well as carbon. It prepares you for emerging requirements before they arrive under deadline pressure. And it demonstrates leadership in an area where most businesses have not yet started thinking seriously.
Is This Right For You?
Who This Service Is For
NRF advisory is typically relevant for businesses that have addressed their carbon footprint and want to expand into nature responsibility, are being asked about biodiversity or nature impacts by clients or in tenders, operate in sectors with significant nature dependencies (such as food, agriculture, textiles, or construction), or want to get ahead of emerging nature-related disclosure requirements.
If you have not yet measured your carbon footprint, we would typically recommend starting there. Climate and nature are interconnected, but carbon assessment provides a solid foundation for broader sustainability work.
