Financial Sector & Private Equity
Integrating nature at the heart of investment decisions
Nature and finance: an indispensable connection
The financial sector is on the front line when it comes to nature-related challenges. Ecosystem degradation increases physical, regulatory, and reputational risks, while also undermining portfolio performance.
Beyond climate, biodiversity, water, soil, and other natural resources have become essential dimensions of asset management and ESG policies.
Private equity, public equity, debt, bonds… all types of financing and investment strategies now require the evaluation and management of these risks.
For banks, fund managers (especially private equity), institutional investors, and international development banks, integrating nature is no longer optional — it is a condition for resilience, sustainable performance, and access to new financing markets.
Why act now?
- Increasing regulatory pressure: CSRD, EU Taxonomy… transparency obligations are intensifying.
- Systemic risk: biodiversity loss and climate change directly threaten market stability and asset values.
- Ripple effect: financial actors, by directing capital, directly influence the transition of the companies they finance.
- Investor expectations: demand for credible financial products aligned with sustainability continues to grow.
