About the session
Nature-related risks and opportunities are increasingly influencing business performance. Companies need a practical way to understand where their operations and value chains depend on and impact nature, and what that means for risk management, resilience and long-term value.
In this recorded session, West Fraser, the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, Inc. (NCASI), Pollination and Earth Blox share practical insights from West Fraser’s nature impact, dependency, risk and opportunity assessment. The assessment is aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ (TNFD) Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare (LEAP) framework and the published forest sector methodology behind it.
