Aligning Financial Portfolios with Biodiversity Goals

The new, ground-breaking biodiversity module within the ENCORE tool enables financial institutions to identify risks and opportunities, in order to align their activities to a goal of no net biodiversity loss globally. Two sessions of the webinar “Aligning Financial Portfolios with Biodiversity Goals” will be held virtually on Wednesday, 26th May 2021 to introduce this exciting new module.

At the cutting-edge of sustainable finance, over 25 financial institutions have been involved in the development of the module, which focuses on the agriculture and mining sectors and allows banks and investors to answer the following questions:

• Are my financial assets at risk from biodiversity loss?
• Am I dependent on biodiversity through my investment or lending portfolio?
• Am I harming or building the resilience of biodiversity with my investments?

Using this key information, and in combination with other tools, financial institutions can be in a position to start setting biodiversity targets across their activities. Join our experts to learn how the tool can work for you and hear from some of the banks and investors who have been beta-testing the tool on why this could be a turning point for the industry.
