Natural Capital investment drivers

As the global investment landscape evolves, institutional investors are increasingly turning their attention to the natural world, driven by both strategic opportunity and sustainability requirements. Natural capital, encompassing the earth’s stock of renewable and non-renewable resources such as soil, water, air, and biodiversity, is no longer viewed as a peripheral concern. It is becoming central to how long-term value is defined, measured, and delivered.
