How ready are you for nature action?
There are no right or wrong answers. Just pick what reflects your current reality, not your ambitions.
Governance & accountability
Defines how nature is owned and governed across the organization, including clear roles and responsibilities, decision-making structures, policies and internal controls, incentives at management and board level, and awareness of applicable regulatory obligations.
To what extent is nature clearly owned and governed across your organization (roles, decision-making, policies/controls, management and board oversight, incentives/accountability, and regulatory awareness)?
Strategy & targets
Sets the organization’s ambition and strategic direction on nature, translated into SMART targets, milestones, and a delivery roadmap based on material priorities and business relevance.
To what extent has your organization defined a clear nature ambition and strategy, and translated this into SMART targets, milestones, and a delivery roadmap linked to material priorities and business relevance?
Footprint, impacts & materiality
Identifies where the business interacts with nature across operations and the value chain, maps geographic footprint and hotspots, assesses key impacts and dependencies, and prioritizes material risks and opportunities.
To what extent does your organization understand where it interacts with nature across operations and the value chain (footprint and hotspots), and has it assessed and prioritised its key impacts, dependencies, and material risks/opportunities?
Data, metrics & reporting
Ensures baselines, KPIs, and data quality are in place to track progress and support credible decision-making and reporting.
To what extent are baselines, KPIs, and data quality in place to track progress, support credible decision-making, and enable consistent reporting?
People, culture & capabilities
Builds the organizational capabilities needed to deliver the nature strategy, including skills and training, internal awareness and culture, capacity and resourcing, and change management across functions.
To what extent does your organization have the skills, capacity, resources, and culture needed to deliver the nature strategy across relevant functions (e.g., training, awareness, change management)?
Operational integration & procurement
Embeds nature into core decision-making and management processes, including investment decisions, project approvals, procurement requirements and operational procedures, applying the mitigation hierarchy as a guiding principle.
To what extent is nature embedded into core business processes and decision-making (e.g., investment decisions, project approvals, procurement and supplier management, operational procedures), including use of the mitigation hierarchy?
Implementation & delivery
Implements concrete measures to avoid and reduce priority impact drivers, and to restore or regenerate nature where relevant, supported by implementation plans, resourcing, performance tracking, and alignment of financial decisions with nature priorities.
To what extent is your organization implementing concrete measures to avoid and reduce priority impact drivers and to restore or regenerate nature where relevant, supported by clear plans, resourcing, performance tracking, and nature-aligned financial decision-making?
Collaboration and collective action
Mobilizes suppliers, partners, and stakeholders to scale impact beyond company boundaries through value chain programs, landscape or seascape initiatives, sector collaboration, and policy engagement.
To what extent does your organization mobilize suppliers, partners, and stakeholders to scale impact beyond company boundaries through value chain programs, landscape or seascape initiatives, and sector or policy collaboration?
