Biodiversity & nature impact
Biodiversity and nature impact
Biodiversity loss is no longer just an environmental issue; it’s a material business risk. With six out of nine planetary boundaries already breached and ecosystems under extreme pressure, the consequences for companies are real: disrupted supply chains, higher operating costs, increased regulatory scrutiny, and declining asset values. Over half of global GDP depends on healthy ecosystems – yet most companies still lack visibility into how their operations impact or depend on nature.
We help businesses assess and act on their biodiversity footprint and dependencies
We do this while aligning with leading frameworks while unlocking tangible business benefits. This includes building more resilient value chains, reducing operational risks, and supporting CSRD-aligned reporting on material environmental topics.
Impact assessment
We conduct value chain assessments to identify where operations are putting pressure on nature. Using frameworks such as Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), we map critical impact hotspots and quantify pressures using advanced Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) methods. This creates a clear baseline and a foundation for setting targets, prioritising action, and strengthening nature-related decision-making across the organisation.
Dependency assessment
We evaluate how business operations depend on critical ecosystem services, such as water availability, pollination, or soil health, and what that means for production and supply chain risk. Our work goes beyond identifying risks: we explore how rethinking sourcing, production models, or supply structures can both mitigate vulnerabilities and create new opportunities for growth and innovation, such as new products, services and business models to unlock new markets.
Nature biodiversity strategy
We translate impact and dependency insights into a targeted biodiversity strategy – with measurable ambitions, clear KPIs, and embedded governance. We align these efforts with existing sustainability strategies (such as climate targets), identifying synergies and ensuring a cohesive approach. The result is an integrated strategy that drives nature-positive action while creating long-term business value.

The project
Navigare Capital Partners is a fund management company specialising in maritime assets, managing two funds across a diversified portfolio of modern vessels and newbuilds. With a strong commitment to enabling the green transition of the shipping sector, Navigare partnered with us to shape and execute a sustainability strategy that turns ambition into action, across emissions, biodiversity, and ESG performance.
Our approach
Over several years, we supported Navigare across multiple key workstreams. This included conducting a double materiality assessment, analysing climate-related risks and opportunities, and calculating Navigare’s first Scope 1–3 GHG emissions baseline.
We helped set both long- and short-term GHG reduction targets and supported initiatives to improve vessel energy efficiency through co-investments with customers, directly avoiding significant GHG emissions.
To expand beyond climate, we also conducted a biodiversity impact assessment to identify and quantify value chain impacts and guide future action to reduce nature-related risks.
The impact
Our collaboration enabled Navigare to move from ambition to implementation, grounding its sustainability efforts in data, action, and sector relevance.
The strategy is now supported by concrete targets, investment-led impact initiatives, and a clearer understanding of environmental risks, making Navigare well-positioned to contribute to the decarbonisation and broader sustainability transition of global shipping.
Key outcomes are publicly available through Navigare Capital’s sustainability reports.
