NA100 aims to propel corporate action on natural capital through investor engagement similar to the work of initiatives like Climate Action 100+.
On June 26, 2023, the Secretariat and Launching Investor Group behind Nature Action 100 (NA100) announced a set of focus areas and priority sectors for engagement with companies on biodiversity and broader nature-related matters (hereinafter, natural capital). Natural capital has rapidly climbed the list of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities for many investors and regulators, with a series of initiatives being set up to parallel influential regimes on climate.
This post provides an overview of NA100 and its priorities, along with initial guidance for companies looking to integrate natural capital considerations into their ESG programs.
