In our latest Member Good Practice Spotlight, we recognise Schroders for its transparent and comprehensive approach to assessing biodiversity impacts and dependencies across both public and private assets.
Using tools such as ENCORE, IBAT, and the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter, alongside its own proprietary model NatCapEx, Schroders applies sector-, company-, and location-based analyses to understand nature-related risks and opportunities.
Aligned with the TNFD framework and embedded in strategic planning, risk management and stewardship processes, this approach is supported by strong methodological transparency. By systematically integrating biodiversity insights into investment decision-making and engagement, Schroders demonstrates how financial institutions can translate analysis into actionable, nature-positive outcomes.
“In addition to drawing on ENCORE as a starting point, we invested a lot of time into creating a proprietary model for assessing our nature-related impacts, as we wanted to have a comprehensive view of our exposure to all five drivers of nature loss. This was necessary to respond to our commitment to understand the significant positive and negative impacts of our investments, as well as to the growing expectations of our clients.”
