Advisory
Private work for organisations that need their number before it is public, or need to act on it once it is. A team of senior technical directors, with an in-country network of specialists across Africa, Latin America and Asia.
What the Advisory desk does
Nature Risk Diagnostic
Four weeks, fixed fee, board-ready. Where the organisation depends on living systems, where it degrades them, what that is worth at risk under this year's scenarios, and what to do first.
For boards, investment committees, risk functions.
Disclosure readiness
TNFD and ISSB alignment for the reporting cycle ahead, including the location-specific work most reports skip. EUDR due diligence for commodity supply chains.
For reporting and sustainability teams, audit committees.
Nature-finance structuring
Independent analysis for funds, indices, bonds and instruments that claim a nature outcome, before they are launched or after they are questioned.
For asset managers, development banks, arrangers.
Carbon studies and modelling
Carbon stock baselines, sequestration and avoided-emissions modelling, and feasibility for forest, mangrove, grassland and soil projects, built to the standards buyers and registries ask for.
For project developers, landowners, corporate buyers.
Rapid assessments and field baselines
Biodiversity and ecosystem baselines on the ground in weeks, not seasons: species, habitat condition, water and soil, with the data structured for TNFD's Locate and Evaluate steps.
For investors and developers with a site, a concession or a supply region.
Nature-positive project design
Restoration, agroforestry, rangeland and blue-carbon projects designed to be financed: baselines, targets, monitoring, and eligibility for credits, outcome payments and blended finance.
For landowners, communities, funds, corporates with commitments to meet.
Community engagement and FPIC
Free, prior and informed consent done properly, benefit-sharing that holds, and grievance mechanisms, so that a project is legitimate before it is financed.
For developers, financiers and buyers who will be asked to show it.
Nature-positive enterprises and value chains
Business models and value chains that make more money by keeping ecosystems intact: sourcing, traceability, premiums, aggregation and market access for producers.
For enterprises, cooperatives, traders, impact investors.
Board and investment-committee education
Closed-door briefings on what nature dependency means for earnings, cost of capital and valuation, with the organisation's own numbers.
For boards, executive committees, investment committees.
Bespoke research
Sponsored, editorially independent studies. The sponsor sees the findings at the same time as everyone else.
For foundations, industry bodies, institutions.
Enquire Four questions; a reply within two working days.
The Advisory desk works in the places where the natural capital is and where the supply chains begin: our own team of senior technical directors, with an in-country network of ecologists, carbon specialists, social scientists and surveyors across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Every engagement uses the same method as our public ratings, applied in depth with the client's own data, and is delivered as something a board can act on.
Two things are true of every engagement. The organisation's public scores are produced by the same pipeline as everyone else's, reviewed by someone not on the engagement, and this is written into the engagement letter. And we do not write a nature story without the numbers.
