Nature-related risk reporting & disclosure (LEAP & RODI)

Understanding your relationship with nature is the foundation of any credible nature strategy. Our experts guide you through the TNFD’s LEAP approach and the RODI (Risks, Opportunities, Dependencies, Impacts) framework to identify, assess, and disclose your nature-related risks and dependencies with the rigour that investors, regulators, and stakeholders expect.

Why is it a strategic opportunity?

Most organisations know that nature loss is accelerating. Far fewer have taken the step of understanding what that means specifically for their business. In other words, where their operations depend on healthy ecosystems, and where they are contributing to their decline. That blind spot is becoming increasingly costly. We are therefore specialising in nature risk management for companies and ensuring that corporate nature disclosure is not a compliance exercise, but a driver of strategic decision-making.

  • Get ahead of nature disclosure requirements
    TNFD has rapidly moved from voluntary guidance to investor expectation. Regulators in multiple jurisdictions are already signalling that nature-related disclosure will follow the trajectory of climate from voluntary to mandatory. Organisations that build their assessment and disclosure foundations now will be ready when that shift happens, rather than reactive.

  • Make better decisions with better information
    A rigorous nature risk assessment does more than satisfy disclosure requirements. It surfaces dependencies and risks that most organisations have never mapped, giving leadership teams the information they need to make more resilient strategic and operational decisions.

  • Meet growing investor and lender expectations
    Financial institutions are integrating nature risk into their portfolio assessments, credit decisions, and engagement strategies. Organisations that can demonstrate a structured, evidence-based understanding of their nature exposure are increasingly better positioned in conversations with investors, banks, and insurers.

  • Build the foundation for everything that follows
    Nature risk assessment is not a standalone exercise — it is the starting point for target-setting, strategy development, and credible communication. Getting it right, using established frameworks like LEAP and RODI, means everything built on top of it is grounded in evidence rather than assumption.

How we can help

We guide organisations through the full nature risk assessment and disclosure process from scoping and materiality to stakeholder-ready reporting. Our approach combines deep expertise in TNFD, LEAP, and RODI with the practical knowledge of how businesses actually operate, so the outputs are rigorous, relevant, and usable.

  • Scoping your assessment
    We help you define the boundaries of your assessment (which business units, geographies, and value chain segments to prioritise) to ensure your effort is focused where nature risk is most material to your business.

  • Applying the LEAP approach
    We guide you through all four stages of LEAPLocate your interface with nature, Evaluate your dependencies and impacts, Assess your material risks and opportunities, and Prepare to respond and disclose — producing outputs that are aligned with TNFD expectations and defensible to external scrutiny.

  • We look into Risks, Opportunities, Dependencies, and Impacts
    We apply the RODI framework to assess your organisation’s readiness to disclose on nature-related risks and opportunities, identify gaps in your current governance and reporting, and build a clear pathway toward disclosure-ready practice.

  • Identifying material nature-related risks and opportunities
    Beyond the frameworks, we help you interpret what the assessment findings actually mean for your business by identifying what is both important to you and impactful for nature (impact materiality and financial materiality).

  • Supporting your disclosure process
    We work alongside your team to structure your findings, identify what to report and how, align your narrative with TNFD and CSRD expectations, and ensure what you communicate is accurate and defensible.

  • Building internal capability
    Nature risk assessment is an evolving discipline. We design and deliver tailored sessions that build genuine understanding of TNFD, LEAP, and RODI across your sustainability, finance, and risk teams, so that nature risk becomes embedded in how your organisation thinks, not just something managed externally.
