Natcap, the nature intelligence platform spun out of the University of Oxford, today announced the integration of RepRisk data to provide corporations and financial institutions with a comprehensive solution for measuring and managing nature-related transition risks.
As global regulatory mandates like the EU’s CSRD and frameworks such as the TNFD come into force, the sector is shifting its focus toward “double materiality.” This data integration enables organisations to disclose not only their physical dependencies on nature but also their transition risks—specifically the reputational, legal, and regulatory threats stemming from environmental mismanagement.
The data integration reflects a pivotal shift toward embedding institutional-grade business conduct intelligence into specialised environmental platforms, creating a single source of truth for nature-related financial risk.
“Nature risk is no longer a qualitative concern; it is a material financial reality with a profound economic case,” said Sebastian Leape, CEO of Natcap. “By combining Natcap’s scientific rigour with RepRisk’s unparalleled data accuracy, we are enabling the C-suite to quantify nature-related transition risks with audit-grade precision. As we look toward COP31, this data will be the critical infrastructure for firms moving from high-level commitments to asset-level action.”
Key Capabilities of the data integration:
-
Quantifying Transition Risk: Natcap translates RepRisk’s business conduct risk data into a 5-point Nature Risk Score, covering nine specific impact drivers including deforestation, water use, and land-use change.
-
Deep Supply Chain Visibility: The data integration allows firms to distinguish between direct operational risks and indirect supplier risks, identifying sourcing locations where there are more “red flag” incidents even when full Tier-2 or Tier-3 transparency is missing.
-
Audit-Ready Disclosure: Users can now generate decision-ready data that aligns with international norms, replacing manual, subjective assessments with a scalable, science-first evidence base.
The data integration enables users to identify and mitigate risks related to reported poor water management, high air pollution emissions, and other critical ecological incidents. This level of granularity in RepRisk data enables Natcap to help firms to secure their supply chains and protect their market value against the rising tide of nature-related litigation and regulatory shifts.
