Firm-level Nature Dependence
Initiative in Sustainable Finance: Research Highlight by Zacharias Sautner, Alexander Wagner et al., Published in Review of Finance
"There is a growing recognition among investors regarding the importance of nature dependence. Asset managers, such as BlackRock, are increasingly engaging with firms that exhibit high nature dependence, signaling a shift in focus towards biodiversity and natural capital. Despite this, corporate disclosures regarding nature dependence remain limited, highlighting a gap in environmental transparency."
