Guiding Markets on Nature

Nature is the foundation of the global economy and yet the acceleration of nature loss undermines the resilience of business everywhere, posing material risks to companies and investors. Most companies today have a poor understanding of the full scope of their dependencies on nature and the corresponding risks to their organisation. There are also tremendous opportunities ahead for business and finance in the necessary transition to a nature-positive future.

Sitting at the intersection of companies, investors and regulators, stock exchanges have a key role to play in facilitating the adoption and implementation of corporate reporting standards. Equipped with the right resources, exchanges can educate their markets by providing training, guidance and toolkits for companies and investors to help them understand and integrate nature-related considerations beyond climate change into their operations and investment strategies.

Launch of the SSE's Nature Guidance

At “Building Bridges: Aligning Finance with Sustainability”, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative will release “Model Guidance on Nature-related Financial Disclosures,” providing a practical starting point for exchanges to support issuers in identifying, assessing and disclosing nature-related issues. The release of this guidance is timely given the significant increase in regulator, investor and standard-setters' interest in nature-related corporate reporting.

This panel discussion, which will be livestreamed from the sidelines of Building Bridges in Geneva, will introduce the core aims of the guide and outline how stock exchanges and market participants can begin to implement it and help issuers respond to growing demand from investors and companies for information on nature-related issues. Panellists will share perspectives on the significance of the guidance and how it can be applied when developing locally-customised guidance to help issuers meet stakeholder demands for nature-related issues.

This is a public event—please feel free to share the registration links with your colleagues and networks.
