Matter launches nature metric tool

A new data tool to advance the insights of investors - covered by ESG Investing & ESG Investor

Matter has launched a new data solution that offers comprehensive insights into 32 nature-related issues to assist investors in identifying potential risks associated with natural capital investments. By analysing a company's revenue streams, the platform quantifies portfolio exposure to a range of nature-based criteria.

The media has picked up on this launch, and Lise Pretorius, Matter's Chief Sustainability Analysis Officer, was quoted in both the British ESG Investing and ESG Investor. She emphasises the criticality of addressing biodiversity loss and natural capital degradation:

"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 their 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 to a company’s involvement with natural capital."

As the new solution equips investors and businesses to integrate nature considerations into their investment strategies, Matter offers a seamless integration through APIs or the intuitive analytical platform on which to deliver the solution.
