Overview

Recording date - 14 August 2026

Nature is increasingly becoming a strategic governance issue, influencing organisational resilience, asset performance, supply chains and long-term value creation. 

This webinar explored what it means to treat nature not solely as a risk, but as an asset that can be measured, monitored and actively managed over time. 

Building on the growing focus on resilience, adaptation and natural infrastructure highlighted through initiatives such as the Natural Infrastructure Plan, this session shifts the conversation from awareness towards implementation and practice. 

Drawing on Chapter Zero Sponsors, Boffa Miskell’s practical experience across infrastructure, energy, land use and natural systems, alongside Leadership perspectives from working through these issues, the discussion explored how organisations are establishing baseline visibility of natural assets, tracking performance over time, and using nature-related information to inform governance, strategy and investment decisions. 

Key discussion themes were: 

    • Why nature is increasingly being treated as an organisational and strategic asset

    • How organisations are measuring, monitoring and tracking natural systems over time

    • The relationship between nature, resilience and long-term value creation

    • How nature-related information is informing governance, investment and capital allocation decisions

    • Practical governance considerations for boards overseeing nature-related risk and opportunity
