Nature Action 100

Global investor engagement initiative that aims to drive greater corporate ambition and action on nature and biodiversity loss. 

Overview

Nature Action 100 is a global investor engagement initiative that aims to mobilise institutional investors to establish a common high-level agenda for engagements and a clear set of expectations for greater corporate ambition and action on nature and biodiversity loss.

More than 230 institutional investors – representing over $30 trillion in assets under management or advice – from around the world participate in Nature Action 100. They are engaging companies in key sectors deemed systemically important in reversing nature and biodiversity loss by 2030.

History

Nature Action 100 was conceived by a group of institutional investors in late 2022 and formally launched at COP15 as a global initiative to drive corporate action on nature and biodiversity loss. The initiative opened to investors in June 2023. During COP16, Nature Action 100 released the result of its first benchmark, which assessed the progress of 100 companies in key sectors.

Focus

Specifically, Nature Action 100 supports investors engaging companies on nature loss by:

    • Amplifying the investor voice with clear high-level expectations for companies
    • Focusing efforts on impactful sectors, regions, and companies to address nature loss
    • Informing and supporting engagements between participating investors and the Nature Action 100 companies
    • Tracking corporate progress against key benchmark indicators and providing annual progress updates

IIGCC co-leads the initiative’s Secretariat and Corporate Engagement Working Group with Ceres. The initiative’s Technical Advisory Group is led by the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation.
