Friday Good News! $200 Billion for Nature 🌍🌱 At #COP16 in Rome (extension of COP16 in Cali, Colombia), a major step was taken for biodiversity: Over 140 countries have committed to allocating $200 billion annually for nature and biodiversity conservation by 2030 to achieve the goals of the GBF (Global Biodiversity Framework), including protecting 30% of land and marine areas. 🔍 What remains unresolved? Developing countries are demanding a dedicated biodiversity fund for fairer distribution - but the decision has been postponed until 2028. It’s still unclear who will contribute how much and how the funds will be distributed equitably. The new Cali Fund aims to mobilize corporate contributions (e.g., from the pharma and agriculture sectors), but since it relies on voluntary funding, many see it as insufficient. Bottom line: A strong signal for nature conservation, but more negotiations are needed to ensure fair and lasting nature financing! #COP16 #Biodiversity #NatureConservation #FinanceForNature

€3.8 Mio Seed Funding for NATURE!!! 🌎🤘 Nature is the most important #stakeholder in our economy, and businesses can no longer afford to overlook it. That's why we founded Nala Earth - to make nature an integral part of every business decision. And today, we’re taking the next big step! We’ve raised €3.8M in Seed funding, led by IRIS with participation from KOMPAS VC, Pale blue dot, and Founderful, to expand our platform’s use cases, accelerate product development, and scale our impact. Despite - or precisely because - we are in a turbulent political phase, this funding is an even stronger signal that we are moving in the right direction. 🚀   In just two years, we have: ✔️ Launched our Nature Intelligence platform ✔️ Worked with industry leaders like Volkswagen Group, BASF, & Continental ✔️ Built a world-class team to help businesses navigate nature risks & regulations Growing nature-related risks and regulations like #CSRD are reshaping corporate sustainability. Our platform enables companies to effectively manage biodiversity and nature risks across the value chain while streamlining audit-proof reporting. Big thanks to our #investors who believe in our mission & are joining us on this journey. Let’s build a nature-positive economy together! 💚   Jan-Soeren Zinke Thorben Rothe Andreas Winter-Extra Sebastian Peck Heidi Lindvall Antonia Albert Alex Stöckl David Rowan VOYAGERS.io Lea-Sophie Cramer Benedikt Franke Julian Teicke Kentaro Kawamori Julia Bösch Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/ecXieFyH Want to see how Nala can support your company? Reach out to explore our latest features & modules! #NatureIntelligence #SeedFunding #Biodiversity #CSRD #Sustainability

Our CEO Nick Zumbühl will be at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week. He'll be speaking at the Doconomy stage today. Reach out to him if you'll be in Davos and want to discuss corporate nature & biodiversity management!

2025 Outlook: What do sustainability teams need to know about nature & biodiversity for the upcoming year? Summary below, see our full take on our blog: https://lnkd.in/e5Nzp6xc. Want to learn more? Message Nick Zumbühl or Yoni Pasternak to discuss how these trends will impact your business. 1. The initial release of CSRD reports will focus attention, scrutiny, & benchmarking on nature & biodiversity 2. Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) adoption will continue to increase, especially in lagging geographies like Germany and China, and while a handful of leading companies will set targets with Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) and many more will set interim nature targets 3. Three major UN events on Biodiversity, Plastics, and Climate will send firm policy signals on nature - one way or the other 4. Increased consensus on nature metrics for business, driven by the Nature Positive Initiative, will accelerate action #biodiversity #nature #CSRD #ESG

The EU's CSRD regulation is top of mind for many Sustainability teams. We know it's not easy! We're supporting customers like Continental on E4 Biodiversity, E3 Water, and E2 Pollution - saving sustainability teams weeks of time otherwise spent understanding the requirements, identifying and collating specialist data sources, and preparing the required outputs. We have outlined below how our platform is making CSRD compliance more efficient and strategic for customers as part of holistic corporate nature management. If this would help you, please get in touch with Nick Zumbühl or Yoni Pasternak. CSRD requires companies to evaluate their impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO) in relation to E2, E3, and E4. Importantly, EFRAG recently clarified that even if biodiversity is deemed immaterial in a company's DMA (Double Materiality Assessment), they still need to evaluate and disclose whether their sites are proximate to biodiversity sensitive areas (BSAs). These evaluations requires site-specific data points and analysis. Nala provides these site-specific data points, as well as several features to streamline analysis, disclosure, and the preparation of the sustainability statements.

Just in time for #Christmas, here's some great holiday reading for you! 🎁 🚗 Volkswagen Group works with Nala Earth to Identify Nature Hotspots and Advance Biodiversity on Their Sustainability Agenda! 🌱🌍 Check out our recent #CaseStudy with Volkswagen, which got featured in the Nature Tech report, a joint collaboration by Nature4Climate, the Nature Tech Collective , KPMG, the Climate Collective, & Serena. Volkswagen Group worked with with us to assess #biodiversity, #land, and #water parameters across #114 global production sites, pinpointing critical “nature hotspots” where impact mitigation and restoration are most urgent. This data-driven approach enables VW to prioritise sustainability efforts, align with global reporting standards like #CSRD & #TNFD, and save their sustainability team weeks of time on data collection and analysis. Besides case studies with AXA, Bloomberg, Salesforce, HSBC, & Volkswagen Group, the report provides a comprehensive roadmap for businesses integrating nature tech to drive nature-positive action. It covers key topics such as using nature tech for compliance and disclosure, and addressing critical nature data gaps. 🔗 Read the full #CaseStudy: https://lnkd.in/e89VJ6gC 🔗 Access the full #Report: https://lnkd.in/eRYiQu5U #NatureTech #Sustainability #Biodiversity #Volkswagen #CSRD #Nature

Thanks Global Nature Fund & Food for Biodiversity for having us on #stage at the European Conference on Biodiversity in Food Supply Chains! With over 150 participants, it’s honestly impressing to see how much #momentum this topic has gained in recent years. A biodiversity-focused, sector-specific conference drawing such a crowd was hard to imagine just a few years ago! Our contribution: Corporate Nature Management with Zentis Group - A practical guide where to start and why it matters! Together with Nina Siegel, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Zentis, we presented an analysis of 12 global sites using our State of Nature tool. We identified a production site in Poland requiring further attention. Key insights include: 🌳 15% tree cover loss since 2001 🌎 Proximity to 9 biodiversity-sensitive areas, the closest being 2,5 km away 💧 Significant water pollution concerns across all 12 sites ... So What? As a food & beverage company, Zentis Group is no stranger to the topic of biodiversity. They are intrinsically motivated to understand & reduce their environmental impacts while recognising both its business relevance and strategic value from a risk perspective. These findings further serve to prioritzse action, set targets & define thresholds. Last but not least, the insights feed into their CSRD reporting. What further use cases can you think of? Also, a big thank you to all other speakers and participants! #FoodforBiodiversity #SustainableFoodSystems #biodiversity #nature #Nala
