Leveraging nature to secure the future
Nature: a critical issue for all industrial and service sectors
Que ce soit par ses dépendance à des ressources vitales (eau, sols, matières premières, énergie) ou par les impacts qu’elle génère (émissions, pollutions, artificialisation, déforestation), aucune activité n’échappe aux liens avec la nature, de manière directe ou par sa chaîne de valeur. Il est donc indispensable que les modèles économiques actuels évoluent.
Whether through dependence on vital resources (water, soil, raw materials, energy) or the impacts they generate (emissions, pollution, land use, deforestation), no activity is disconnected from nature — either directly or through its value chain. It is therefore essential that current economic models evolve.
Certain sectors are particularly exposed to risks associated with these dependencies and impacts:
- Agri-food and upstream activities (agriculture, fishing, aquaculture, etc.): dependence on soil fertility and water, pressures from land use and inputs (notably pesticides and fertilizers).
- Construction and real estate: material consumption, land artificialization, indirect emissions.
- Energy and mining: resource dependence, risks related to water, pollution, and land use from extractive activities.
- Textiles and consumer goods: footprint through global supply chains, resource use, and production processes.
- Chemicals: use of toxic substances in production processes.
- Transport and logistics: greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and habitat fragmentation caused by infrastructure.
- Tourism: dependence on healthy ecosystems, encroachment on sensitive areas.
The National Biodiversity Strategy 2030 has identified some of these sectors as priorities to reduce pressures and accelerate their transition.
More broadly, all economic sectors are concerned, as every value chain inevitably presents risks linked to dependencies and impacts on nature.
Financial service actors (banks, insurers, etc.), as funders of assets and operators across multiple sectors, concentrate these risks and must manage and oversee them as part of their mission. More generally, all service activities are exposed to these issues, even indirectly, through resource consumption associated with digital usage.
Why act?
Companies face growing risks:
- Regulatory: CSRD, EUDR, EU Taxonomy, AGEC law…
- Economic: costs linked to climate disasters, resource scarcity, price volatility.
- Operational: supply chain disruptions, dependence on critical inputs.
- Reputational: clients, investors, and talent demand proof of engagement.
These constraints are also opportunities: anticipate, innovate, and transform business models to gain competitiveness and resilience.
