Assessment Instructions

Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?

The intent of this indicator is to assess whether an entity has a strategy to address biodiversity and nature-related issues. Given the release of the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosure (TNFD) recommendations in September 2023, biodiversity and nature-related considerations are growing in importance in the real estate industry.

This is an exploratory indicator to gain intelligence on whether and how participants consider biodiversity and nature-related issues in their strategy.

Input: How do I complete this indicator?

Select yes or no.

If selecting yes, describe the entity’s strategy for addressing biodiversity and/or nature-related issues and how it considers nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities in the open text box. If biodiversity and nature-related issues are addressed as part of a wider sustainability/environmental, or other strategy, please specify where and how.
