NatureAlpha said it has "significantly expanded its data capabilities" over the past year, through advances in geospatial analytics and AI.

This has underpinned the development of a new Nature Risk methodology, which NatureAlpha introduced to clients in the first quarter of 2025. Building on the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, this methodology allows investors to locate assets in areas sensitive to nature, evaluate whether such exposure represents a material risk to a company's operations, and assess the extent to which the company is managing these risks.

The findings are then aggregated into a single metric, referred to as Nature Risk.

The nature data specialist said its Nature Risk methodology supports multi-asset class analysis, covering 11,500 companies and 1.7 million corporate bonds.
