TDB’s contributions have been recognized by the World Economic Forum in preparing 'Nature Positive: Corporate Assessment Guide for Financial Institutions' report.

3 June 2025

The World Economic Forum, in partnership with a global management consulting firm, Oliver Wyman released a new report 'Nature Positive: Corporate Assessment Guide for Financial Institutions’, on April 22nd, as part of the Nature Positive Transitions series. The report aims to provide financial institutions with the tools they need to evaluate and support companies in their journey toward nature-positive outcomes. 

Since 2024, TDB has been actively involved in the working group for ‘Financing the Nature Positive Transition Initiation’, providing valuable feedback and input on the Financing for Nature report. Notably, TDB’s contributions have been recognized by the World Economic Forum in the report acknowledging TDB’s participation in preparing this report. 

Here are the key highlights of the report: 

  • Financial institutions must embed nature into corporate assessment frameworks to support companies on their journey towards nature positive.

  • Financial institutions are working to form a view on a company’s nature starting point, including the material nature impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities.

  • For material nature-related issues, financial institutions would like to see companies articulate nature ambitions and, over time, set actionable targets.

  • Financial institutions would like to see proof points demonstrating that nature ambitions and targets are being embedded into a company’s activities.
