Participation of Natixis and Mirova in the Taskforce on Nature related Financial risk and Disclosure

Natixis and Mirova have been selected to contribute to the Taskforce on Nature related Financial risk and Disclosure (TNFD), whose work will start in early 2021 for two years. The TNFD is the result of a partnership between the NCFA, the UNDP and the WWF, with the support of the British government. On the same model as the TCFD, but making it possible to extend to nature-related issues, the TNFD will provide a framework to meet the measurement and data needs of banks so that they can better understand dependenciesand their impacts on nature. This working group will have to address several issues: data accessibility:unlike climate data (mainly GHG emissions)held V by companies, data related to natural capital requires access to larger databases (government, NGOs, universities, etc.);

spatiality: risks related to nature are specific to their location, and V the locations of a company’s assets are generally not disclosed; materiality: nature is a public good and is currently used free of V charge by companies. Risks related to nature are therefore rarely taken into account in financial decision-making.The working group will have to consider the possibilities of integrating this materiality through regulations, changes in terms of reporting or responsibility. The work will be shared with all banks and will reduce financial flows with a negative impact on nature, while promoting those with a positive impact.
