Reporting Your Nature Impact

Over half of the world’s GDP is dependent on nature. With biodiversity risk set to cost the UK £70 billion by the late 2020s (Green Finance Institute). Nature is a business asset that needs to be clearly accounted for.

All business is dependent on the resources nature provides from water, to energy. CSRD and TNFD emphasise the need to assess, manage and report these impacts, risks and dependencies.

Our combined metric is a great starting point.

By measuring nature and carbon impact, risks and dependencies, businesses can:

  • Report- data to contribute to ESG reports & TNFD/CSRD

  • Develop mitigation strategies- Proof of impact for grounded priorities

  • Data- baseline your sustainability decisions & actions

  • Communicate- A clear, organised tool for communicating with your teams and investors.

A Desktop-Based Solution

Klere’s Nature Impact Metric combines established, peer-reviewed and industry-recognised approaches to measure the nature cost of 'doing business'. Using EXIOBASE, ENCORE, PDF (potentially disappeared fraction) modelling and our own proprietary method based on the UK's DEFRA Biodiversity Units, it assesses biodiversity impact, risks and dependencies across Scope 1, 2 and 3.

Starting with expense data, we provide an affordable footprint of where nature pressures sit across your operations and supply chain, then help you drill deeper into the biggest priorities. Our main output, Biodiversity Unit equivalent (BUe), gives you a tangible and comparable measure of impact, with PDF available for a broader view of ecosystem pressure, analysing the highest risk areas and dependencies across ecosystems.

This gives businesses a fuller picture of their relationship with nature, not just carbon, and not just direct operational impact.

What the metric delivers...

  • Impact Areas: Know your nature pressure points- prioritising the elements your business activity is impacting most.

  • Nature Cost: Find the cost in Biodiversity Unit equivalent for each operation, material or supply chain element, while also measuring your carbon, in comparable units of measure.

  • Dependencies: Reveal the ecological elements your business is dependent upon most to keep operating

  • Risks: What are your nature risks - risks to business and risks to nature.
