Schroders has published its first Group Nature Report, underscoring the firm’s commitment to actively navigating nature risks and meeting clients’ investment expectations in this space.

The report follows the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Disclosures (TNFD) issued in 2023. It aims to identify potential nature-related risks and opportunities and how Schroders is responding to them.

The TNFD was launched in 2021, receiving global endorsements from the G7, G20 and then UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, Mark Carney. Schroders has become an early adopter among its financial services peers to publish these disclosures.

The report follows the launch of Schroders’ proprietary tool, NatCapEx, earlier this year, which supports nature-focused, TNFD-aligned analysis across 9,000 public companies, building on Schroders’ SustainEx model.

Andy Howard, global head of sustainable investment, Schroders, said: “As a proudly active asset manager, we are leading by example through proactively disclosing our nature-related risks and opportunities, as well as developing our new proprietary tool, NatCapEx, to help fill the nature data gap.

“With the world’s natural environments under growing pressure, measuring and managing the nature-exposed risks of our investments is becoming increasingly important.

“We also hope this voluntary disclosure in line with TNFD will help galvanise broader progress in corporate and investment disclosures. We will continue to engage with companies to encourage them to publish their own nature-related disclosures and shed light on this increasingly important risk and opportunity.”
