The speed and scale of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are the highest in history. Research from S&P Global Sustainable1 shows that 54% of companies in the S&P Global BMI have a significant dependency on nature across their direct operations, with 16% of companies having at least one asset located in a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) that could be exposed to future reputational and regulatory risks.¹

Analysis from Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA)’s recently published practical guide for FIs getting started on nature financing² similarly highlights that investors and banks in the region may face material nature-related risks through their investments and lending and that the next step is for financial institutions to examine specific areas of risk in sectors of economic importance to the region such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing and real estate through a materiality and risk assessment.

Over the course of lunch, we will look to cover:

• S&P’s nature risk methodology & metrics for nature and biodiversity
• Deep dive into the key nature impact and dependencies of the Metals & Mining sector
• Showcase S&P’s solutions for quantifying nature risk, materiality assessments and TNFD aligned reporting

We would like to extend an invitation for you to join us at the Sustainable1 Summit – Unlocking Transition Opportunities, taking place the same afternoon, also at the National Gallery. Indicate your interest by checking the box in the registration form.
