NatureAlpha is an innovative company specialising in complex data analysis concerning natural world impacts. Together, they are collaborating to enhance investment decisions and reduce biodiversity loss through data-driven insights.
The partnership is driven by the need to address biodiversity loss which poses significant systemic and financial risks globally. By integrating NatureAlpha’s curated datasets and AI-driven solutions, LGT aims to equip investors with the necessary tools to assess and minimise the environmental impacts of their investment portfolios.
LGT, with its Sustainability Strategy 2030, is dedicated to setting ambitious environmental targets and making impactful investment decisions that are both sustainable and informed. NatureAlpha brings to the table its specialised expertise in managing and analysing nature-related data, which is critical for understanding and mitigating investment risks associated with biodiversity.
This collaboration also highlights the growing importance of sustainable finance and the critical role data plays in supporting informed investment decisions. The partnership aligns with global movements towards nature-positive finance, evidenced by initiatives like the Taskforce on Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
In addition to the strategic partnership, LGT has shown its commitment to biodiversity by being one of the 194 signatories of the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, highlighting its leadership in fostering a transformative year for nature-positive finance.
LGT Group Sustainability Management head Ursula Finsterwald said, “Biodiversity loss poses a serious threat to both the systemic and financial stability of our planet. By helping investors make informed decisions based on reliable biodiversity metrics, NatureAlpha fills an important gap.”
NatureAlpha founder Vian Sharif commented, “We have been very encouraged to observe that the launch of the TNFD has led to an understanding, amongst many companies, about the impact of their operations on the natural world. Furthermore, we are witnessing growing recognition and meaningful action amongst many financial institutions regarding their duty to safeguard Planet Earth. As one of the 194 signatories of the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, LGT is helping to pave the way in what we believe will be a transformative year for nature-positive finance.”
