Matter Launches New Nature Data Solution for Investors
Copenhagen, London – May 30, 2024 – Matter - the sustainability data and analytics solutions provider - announced today the expansion of their data offering to cover nature-related requirements for buyside market participants. Matter now provides broad-coverage access to revenue and asset-level insights on 32 specific issues related to nature impacts and dependencies, to support investors with identifying potential risks when investing in natural capital.
Following the release of the Taskforce on Nature-relatedDisclosures (TNFD) final recommendations in September 2023, this comes at a crucial time for firms who must consider nature-related impacts, risks, and opportunities as part of sustainability reporting. Matter’s data solution enables investors to quantify the degree to which their portfolios are exposed to a broad range of nature-related criteria, by analysing the revenue streams stemming from a company’s products and services, and location-specific analysis. Key features include layered analysis capabilities from asset to portfolio level, and access to granular insights based on transparent, rule-based methodologies that are aligned with reporting requirements.
The launch builds on Matter’s unique suite of data offerings, spanning key metrics and actionable insights on hundreds of ESG themes, including the climate transition. Adding nature data supports investors with reporting on existing and emerging regulatory frameworks, measuring investment risk, and supporting portfolio optimisation strategies to make more informed investment decisions.
Lise Pretorius, Chief Sustainability Analysis Officer at Matter commented: “The decline in biodiversity and degradation of natural capital is extremely concerning, and historically a very complex area to report on. The launch of our new solution will help investors and businesses currently facing increasing pressure to consider nature as part of the investment strategies."
This is no longer voluntary, but must be considered as a core, strategic risk management issue. Regulatory developments– such as TNFD - will certainly help, but as the cost of compliance increases, the time to act is now. The answer is transparent data that can provide extremely granular insights into a specific company’s nature-related activity. This in turn helps investors better assess the risks when it comes toa company’s involvement with natural capital.”
