With more than half of the world’s GDP reliant on nature and its services, depleting natural capital creates significant operational, regulatory, litigation, and reputational risk for investors and businesses alike, and negative economic repercussions globally. Hundreds of billions of dollars in global crop outputs are at risk annually from pollinator loss, posing operational risk for companies sourcing agricultural commodities. According to some estimates, tens of billions of dollars in assets could be at risk of stranding over the next 5 to 10 years if companies continue to produce deforestation-linked commodities.   

Nature Action 100 is a global investor-led engagement initiative that aims to support greater corporate ambition and action on reversing nature and biodiversity loss to mitigate financial risk and to protect the long-term economic interests of investors’ clients and beneficiaries.  

Specifically, Nature Action 100 supports investors engaging companies on nature loss by:    

• Amplifying the investor voice with clear high-level expectations for companies   
• Focusing efforts on impactful sectors, regions, and companies to address nature loss   
• Informing and supporting engagements between participating investors and the Nature Action 100 companies   
• Tracking corporate progress against key benchmark indicators and providing annual progress updates
