New Launch: Meet the new Global Nature Risk layer | Find out more

A 0-1 risk score for every site in your portfolio

Global Nature Risk is the new screening layer that ranks your global portfolio by nature-related risk and opportunity

See where nature exposure could stall a permit, a loan or a bond

Global Nature Risk gives a single 0 to 1 nature-risk score for every site, so you can screen an entire portfolio in one layer, find the assets that put consent or financing at risk, and know what to validate first.

10 years

of validated, ground-truth data

One 0-1 risk score. Three layers behind it

Combine State of Nature, dependencies and impact into a single 0 to 1 score for every asset, then flags the sites where ground-truth species data will matter most.


  • Globally applicable, no geographic or sector exclusions
  • Integrates with climate risk and ESG
  • Audit-ready methodology, traceable to peer-reviewed sources
  • Quarterly updates, aligned to reporting cycles

One consistent score across every site.
Ranked by risk & opportunity

Compare, prioritise, and act with confidence. Built on 26 globally validated geospatial datasets, each score is calibrated to your operations, with TNFD-aligned outputs that hold up with regulators and investors.

From early risk screening to ongoing compliance

Discover how NatureMetrics can support you to plan smarter, approve faster and monitor your portfolio with confidence.

One

Upload your portfolio

Share your site locations and activity codes. Global Nature Risk does the rest. Free your team up from GIS data analysis to focus on reducing risk.

Two

We score every asset

State of Nature, Dependencies, and Impact scores are generated for each site so you know where nature risk is concentrated.

Three

Act on what matters

Filter the heatmap, drill into single-site reports, export TNFD-aligned evidence packs, and validate the highest-risk sites with eDNA or bioacoustics on the ground.

What it looks like for your team

The same 0–1 methodology. Different jobs-to-be-done depending on where you operate.

Mining & Extractives

Protect operating licences. Direct closure and remediation spend where it counts. Spot water-security risk before forecasts feel it.


Job-to-be-done:
Avoid permit revocations and project delays from noise, water-quality, or ecosystem-condition triggers.

Energy

Screen hundreds of sites before boots-on-the-ground spend. Identify protected area proximity, water dependency and ecosystem sensitivity before capital commits.

Job-to-be-done: Front-load due diligence on protected areas and ecosystem condition to cut regulatory back-and-forth.

Infrastructure & Utilities

Find degrading natural buffers before failure events force reactive spend. Automate double- materiality. Generate the evidence Green Bonds and sustainability-linked finance need.

Job-to-be-done: CSRD / ESRS materiality at portfolio scale, without the manual workload.

Consumer Goods & Agriculture

See the nature exposure inside your supply chain, from soil depletion and water stress in raw-material catchments to ecosystem pressure on sourcing regions, before it shows up in yield or COGS.

Job-to-be-done: Map supply-chain dependency and impact hotspots to meet TNFD & CSRD without rebuilding the data layer.

Conservation & Forestry

Score prospective acquisitions and existing holdings for nature exposure across state of nature, impacts and dependencies. Decide where deeper due diligence is warranted before capital is on the table or tied up.

Job-to-be-done: Rapid, consistent nature risk screening across target portfolios pre-LOI and pre-close.

Financial services

Turn site-level biodiversity data into the evidence funders and investors need to release capital. Know which sites face the highest permanence risk and focus your resources where the ecological stakes are highest.

Job-to-be-done: Give funders the portfolio-wide risk evidence they need to commit capital with confidence.

Nature-related risk has been difficult to act on at portfolio scale because the data hasn't historically been structured in a way that supports decision-making.

Working with NatureMetrics changed that for us. The Global Nature Risk methodology gave us a clear, evidence-based view of where our exposure was concentrated, and that baseline became the foundation for our TNFD work, our nature strategy and the site-level biodiversity action plans that followed. The ability to move from understanding risk to actually doing something about it, has made a huge difference."

Built for enterprise reality, at
portfolio scale

Globally applicable

No geographic or sector exclusions. Same methodology from tropical rainforests to urban logistics hubs processed in a single run.

Integrates with climate risk & ESG

Outputs designed to sit alongside climate physical risk and ESG scores in a unified risk framework. Avoids double-counting where dependencies overlap.

Audit-ready methodology

Every score traceable to its peer-reviewed source data and traceable over time.

Quarterly updates

Data refreshed to align with financial reporting cycles. Scores reflect the most current available geospatial data, not a point-in-time snapshot.

Intelligence built on scientific integrity

Many tools can show proximity to a protected area. Only NatureMetrics combines a proprietary eDNA database, built over a decade across 126+ countries, with an integrated platform that turns risk scores into action.

01

Verified ground truth,
one click away

The only screening tool natively connected to ground-truthed eDNA, bioacoustics and insights.

02

One connected ecosystem

Risk, Habitat, Species, and Performance — all native to the same platform. No re-contracting.

03

Sector expertise, built in

Filter the heatmap, drill into single-site reports, export TNFD-aligned evidence packs, and validate the highest-risk sites with eDNA or bioacoustics on the ground.
