Overview
NatureMetrics is a comprehensive nature intelligence system designed to help organizations permit projects faster, secure financing with confidence, and monitor biodiversity at scale. By moving away from disconnected, modeled data that often delays project approvals, NatureMetrics provides a unified platform that acts as a single source of truth for nature evidence across a global portfolio.
At the core of NatureMetrics' solution is its proprietary environmental DNA (eDNA) and bioacoustics technology. This allows organizations to collect high-integrity, ground-truthed species data from simple environmental samples. The platform translates complex ecological data into standardized, business-relevant metrics, enabling seamless compliance with emerging disclosure frameworks like TNFD, CSRD, and GRI.
Key Features
- Global Nature Risk: Provides a 0-1 nature risk score per site to screen operating, development, and legacy assets, allowing organizations to prioritize where survey efforts are needed most.
- eDNA & Bioacoustics Collection: Utilizes advanced biological sampling to identify species of interest (from vertebrates to fungi) using simple, standardized field kits.
- Species & Habitat Insights: Delivers comparable, standardized metrics from site to landscape level to benchmark assets and track ecological recovery over time.
- The Nature Intelligence Platform: A centralized portfolio dashboard and system of record that aggregates nature data across thousands of sites for easy management and reporting.
- Ecosystem Condition Index (ECI): Offers biological condition scores, such as a 0–100 score for UK freshwater streams, derived from a single eDNA sample to easily communicate ecosystem health.
Use Cases
- Permitting & Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA): Conducting protected-species and habitat surveys to recognized protocols to accelerate regulatory approvals.
- Lender Due Diligence: Generating IFC PS6 biodiversity baselines and life-of-loan monitoring to satisfy international financing requirements and drawdown covenants.
- Biodiversity Offsets Verification: Moving beyond modeled estimates to verify offset sites and prove like-for-like ecological equivalence using real species data.
- Mine Closure & Rehabilitation: Monitoring ecological recovery against defined closure criteria to provide evidence for rehabilitation bond releases.
- Supply-Chain Risk Screening: Assessing on-farm biodiversity conditions and sourcing regions to provide deforestation-free and SBTN-compliant evidence.
Who It's For
NatureMetrics is built for sustainability officers, environmental managers, compliance teams, and financial analysts working in high-impact sectors such as mining, energy, infrastructure, agriculture, forestry, and financial services. It is designed for organizations of all sizes that need to manage nature-related risks, satisfy regulatory disclosures, and meet strict lender requirements.
