The problem NatureRisk solves
Supply chain nature risk is where most TNFD assessments break down.
Direct operations are manageable. A company can geocode its own facilities, run site-level biodiversity assessments, and document the results. The harder problem is what happens upstream: the suppliers, counterparties, and value chain exposures that carry the majority of material nature risk for most financial institutions and industrial companies, and where precise location data is rarely available.
The standard workaround is sector-level proxies. Assign a risk score by industry classification, present it in a dashboard, call it a nature risk assessment. This approach does not produce credible TNFD disclosures. It produces screening outputs that cannot survive scrutiny from investors or assurance providers who understand what the LEAP approach actually requires.
NatureRisk is built to close that gap. It maps nature risk at the site and portfolio level using live geospatial data, connects ecological exposure to financial materiality, and generates disclosure outputs that are auditable from methodology through to final report.
What NatureRisk does
NatureRisk is a TNFD compliance software platform built specifically for financial institutions and industrial companies operating in APAC, with full alignment to the TNFD LEAP approach and ESRS E4.
The platform covers the full LEAP workflow in a single environment.
Locate: Site-level geospatial assessment of operations and supply chain assets against authoritative nature datasets. NatureRisk integrates GBIF species occurrence data, IUCN Red List, WDPA protected area boundaries, and satellite-derived land cover and deforestation signals. Assets are assessed for proximity to Key Biodiversity Areas, Ramsar wetlands, water-stressed basins, and deforestation frontiers, at the coordinate level, not the country or sector level.
Evaluate: Dependency and impact mapping using the ENCORE framework, connecting business activities to ecosystem service dependencies and impacts across land, freshwater, and ocean realms. NatureRisk covers all four TNFD realms of nature and distinguishes between what the business relies on from nature and what the business does to nature, as required for double materiality under ESRS E4.
Assess: Translation of ecological exposure into financial risk language. NatureRisk quantifies nature-related risks against financial materiality thresholds, producing revenue-at-risk estimates, asset exposure scores, and scenario-based projections that connect to the enterprise risk register rather than sitting in a separate sustainability silo.
Prepare: Structured disclosure outputs mapped to TNFD's 14 recommended disclosures, with full audit trail documentation of data sources, methodology, and assessment dates. Outputs are designed to satisfy external assurance review.
Supply chain nature risk mapping
Supply chain assessment is where NatureRisk is differentiated from general ESG platforms that have added biodiversity modules.
For financial institutions, NatureRisk ingests portfolio holdings and assesses nature risk at the counterparty and asset level. Sector-level risk profiles are applied where precise location data is unavailable, with explicit uncertainty flagging in the output. The result is a portfolio-wide nature risk view that aggregates across hundreds or thousands of assets and identifies where material exposure is concentrated.
For industrial companies, NatureRisk handles multi-tier supply chain structures. Tier 1 supplier assessment is the baseline. Where supply chain mapping extends to Tier 2 and Tier 3, NatureRisk applies trade flow data and industry sourcing patterns to model upstream exposure, documenting where direct data was unavailable and what proxies were used.
The distinction that matters for TNFD disclosure: NatureRisk documents its methodology at every step. An auditor reviewing the output can trace any risk finding back to a specific dataset, a specific data vintage, and a specific assessment decision. This is what separates a defensible TNFD disclosure from a dashboard that looks complete but cannot answer follow-up questions.
Built for APAC
Most TNFD compliance software was built for European and North American markets. APAC presents distinct data and regulatory challenges: higher biodiversity density, a wider range of regulatory environments across jurisdictions, different land tenure systems, and a real estate and infrastructure asset base concentrated in some of the most nature-sensitive geographies on the planet.
NatureRisk is built with APAC contexts as the primary use case. The platform's geospatial data coverage prioritises Southeast Asian, South Asian, and Pacific biodiversity datasets. The materiality framework is calibrated for APAC asset classes, with specific coverage of real estate, infrastructure, and financial services portfolios.
This is not a global platform with APAC as an afterthought. It is an APAC-first platform that also supports global portfolio assessment.
Who uses NatureRisk
NatureRisk is designed for sustainability and ESG risk leaders at two types of organisations.
Financial institutions using NatureRisk for portfolio-level TNFD disclosure, counterparty nature risk screening, and integration of nature risk into existing credit and investment risk frameworks. Typical users include sustainability leads, ESG risk teams, and portfolio managers at asset managers, banks, and insurers.
Industrial companies using NatureRisk to complete LEAP assessments for direct operations and supply chains, support CSRD ESRS E4 compliance, and respond to investor and customer requests for TNFD-aligned nature risk disclosure. Typical users include sustainability directors, environmental managers, and corporate risk teams.
What makes NatureRisk different from other TNFD compliance software
The TNFD compliance software market broadly divides into three categories: geospatial environmental data platforms that provide raw data but require significant analytical work to produce disclosures; general ESG reporting platforms with biodiversity modules that produce outputs quickly but lack the methodological rigour for audit-ready TNFD disclosure; and purpose-built TNFD platforms that cover the full LEAP workflow with both data quality and disclosure structure.
NatureRisk sits in the third category. The specific differentiators are APAC data coverage, the connection between ecological exposure and financial materiality, and the audit trail infrastructure that supports external assurance review.
For organisations that have tried to run TNFD assessments using adapted climate tools or general ESG platforms and found the outputs insufficient, NatureRisk provides a workflow built for the problem rather than adapted to it.
Frequently asked questions
What is TNFD compliance software?
TNFD compliance software refers to platforms that help organisations identify, assess, manage, and disclose nature-related financial risks and opportunities in line with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures recommendations. Purpose-built TNFD tools differ from general ESG platforms in their geospatial capability, scientific data integration, and ability to support the TNFD LEAP approach from site-level assessment through to auditable disclosure.
What is the best TNFD reporting platform for complex supply chains?
For complex supply chains, the critical requirements are site-level geospatial assessment, sector-level risk profiles for suppliers where precise location data is unavailable, multi-tier supply chain support, and methodology documentation that survives external review. NatureRisk is built to meet all four requirements, with specific attention to APAC supply chain structures and the financial institutions and industrial companies that operate within them.
How does NatureRisk support the TNFD LEAP approach?
NatureRisk covers all four LEAP phases in a single platform. Locate uses live geospatial data to assess asset and supplier locations against authoritative biodiversity datasets. Evaluate applies the ENCORE framework to map ecosystem service dependencies and impacts. Assess translates ecological exposure into financial risk metrics. Prepare generates disclosure outputs aligned to TNFD's 14 recommended disclosures, with full audit trail documentation.
What nature risk mapping tools does NatureRisk integrate?
NatureRisk integrates GBIF species occurrence data, IUCN Red List species and habitat data, WDPA protected area boundaries, WRI Aqueduct water risk data, ENCORE for dependency and impact mapping, and satellite-derived land cover and deforestation monitoring signals. Data vintages are documented at the assessment level, not just in platform documentation.
How does NatureRisk handle materiality analysis for nature risks?
NatureRisk supports double materiality assessment as required by ESRS E4. Financial materiality captures nature-related risks to enterprise value, expressed in revenue-at-risk and asset impairment terms. Impact materiality captures the organisation's impacts on nature, documented against TNFD and Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework metrics. Both directions are covered in a single workflow, without duplicate data entry.
Is NatureRisk aligned with ESRS E4 as well as TNFD?
Yes. NatureRisk is designed for organisations that need to meet both TNFD and ESRS E4 requirements. The two frameworks are closely aligned, and NatureRisk supports both within the same assessment workflow. ESRS E4's mandatory double materiality requirement and specific disclosure data points are covered alongside TNFD's voluntary disclosure structure.
