In 2026, the corporate mandate has fundamentally shifted. The "Carbon-only" era of sustainability has ended, replaced by a more complex, scientifically rigorous, and legally binding requirement:


Nature Positivity.As the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) transitions from a voluntary framework to a core component of UK and international reporting, the biodiversity of your supply chain is no longer a peripheral ethical concern—it is a material financial risk.

At Enviropass, we provide the scientific expertise and strategic clarity required to navigate this transition. We don't just count species; we map the ecological dependencies that underpin your business resilience.

Supply Chain Biodiversity: Deciphering the Hidden Risks in Your Value Chain

The New Regulatory Baseline: TNFD, CSRD, and the 2026 Mandate

For many UK firms, the primary sustainability focus has historically been Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions. However, the introduction of the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK-SRS) and the extraterritorial reach of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) have expanded the scope of accountability.

A major portion of a typical corporation’s impact on nature occurs within its supply chain—far beyond its direct operational control. In 2026, regulators and institutional investors now demand "Double Materiality": an assessment of how biodiversity loss impacts your bottom line, and how your operations impact the biosphere.

partner, translating complex ecological data into board-ready financial intelligence.

Why Biodiversity is a Material Business Risk

Biodiversity loss is a systemic threat to global supply chains. When ecosystems collapse, the services they provide—pollination, water purification, soil fertility, and flood regulation—disappear.

Operational Risk

Supply chain disruptions caused by ecosystem failure (e.g., water scarcity affecting manufacturing).

Regulatory Risk

Fines and litigation under new environmental due diligence laws, including the DMCC Act 2024 enforcement powers active in 2025/26.

Transition Risk

Rising costs of raw materials as "nature-negative" commodities are taxed or restricted.

Reputational Risk

The "Nature-Washing" trap where unsubstantiated claims lead to severe CMA penalties.

The Enviropass Methodology: A Scientific Approach to Nature Recovery

We move beyond high-level "heat mapping" to provide granular, site-specific insights. Our consultancy is built on the LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare), ensuring your strategy is scientifically defensible.

1. Locating the Nature Interface

Most companies know their Tier 1 suppliers, but biodiversity risk is often buried in Tier 2 and Tier 3. We use advanced GIS and satellite spatial modelling to overlay your supplier locations with Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and high-risk biomes. We identify exactly where your supply chain touches sensitive ecosystems.

2. Evaluating Impacts and Dependencies

Using metrics such as Mean Species Abundance (MSA) and the Species-Year metric, we quantify your footprint. We don't just look at what you take from nature; we evaluate what you depend on.

3. Assessing Materiality and Strategic Risk

We help you understand the implications of nature related risks, allowing for better helps your CFO understand the financial implications of nature-related risks, allowing for better capital allocation and more robust risk management.

4. Preparing the Nature-Positive Roadmap

The goal is not just to "do less harm." In line with the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), we help you transition to Nature Positive. This includes:

  • Redesigning procurement policies.
  • Implementing Regenerative Agriculture standards.
  • Setting Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN).
