Pricing Nature on the Balance Sheet

This collaborative session, curated by Building Bridges and the Hoffmann Centre for Global Sustainability at the Geneva Graduate Institute, will explore one of the most transformative shifts in our economic system: recognizing nature as a critical but unvalued asset.

Nature underpins the global economy, yet the value it delivers to businesses, economies, and societies remains largely absent from financial accounts. As biodiversity loss accelerates and climate-related disruptions intensify, nature-related risks, both physical and transition, are already impacting corporate bottom lines and supply chains.

Experts will discuss how “natural capital” alongside financial capital needs to be financially attributed to the balance sheet as a critical asset. Experts will highlight emerging global frameworks and standards, highlighting pioneering case studies, that are helping embed nature into financial portfolios and corporate balance sheets.
