New capacity building material for applying TNFD’s LEAP method and best practices from frontrunners in financial sector’s nature work. The material will introduce, among other things, a multiple-passes approach to the LEAP  (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) method introduced in TNFD. TNFD´s LEAP is a globally leading method for identifying nature connections which can also be utilized in the implementation of other reporting obligations, such as the EU Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

By reviewing capacity building material, responsible investors can deepen their understanding of how the TNFD framework can be used to assess and report on companies’ environmental impacts and dependencies. The event will provide experiences and practical examples of implementing TNFD’s LEAP method in the financial sector. The experiences are based on the TNFD training program organized in autumn 2024.

In addition to the new material, three frontrunning organisations present their recent work on nature and TNFD at the event. This provides an opportunity for participants to learn from best practices in the financial sector.

The event provides an excellent opportunity for Finsif members to gain concrete insights into biodiversity issues in support of responsible investment decision-making. The event also provides an opportunity for participants of Sitra’s 2024 TNFD training programme to reunite and exchange experiences.

The materials have been prepared by Sitra and The Biodiversity Consultancy in collaboration with the TNFD Secretariat. The event aims to support the global implementation of TNFD.
