TNFD nature disclosures adopted by 620 organisations

Two years after the Task force for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) published its recommendations, 620 organisations from over 50 countries have adopted the framework for nature disclosures.

According to the task force’s 2025 status report, released this week during Climate Week NYC, the organisations that have committed to publishing TNFD-aligned disclosures now represent US$20 trillion in assets under management.

Additionally, over 500 first and second-generation TNFD reports have now been published as companies hone in on their nature impacts and dependencies. In fact, 63% of more than 800 companies surveyed by TNFD believe their nature-related issues are as significant, or more significant, than climate-related issues to the future prospects of their business.

This is also reflected in the way companies report on their nature impacts: 78% integrate climate and nature disclosures into the same report.

“TNFD's first 2025 Status Report is a welcome moment of hope, showing that assessment and disclosures of nature-related issues is progressing at a surprising pace. Despite current politics creating a challenging landscape, the findings of the TNFD 2025 Status Report indicate that business and finance are not disregarding nature. To the contrary, the work of understanding nature-related issues is progressing, and market participants are realising and acting upon the fact that the resilience of their business relies upon the resilience of nature,” said Razan Al Mubarak, Co-Chair, TNFD.

Investor support for TNFD

In another survey conducted by Responsible Investor in June, 77% of investors said they would like to see specific nature-related standards building on the TNFD recommendations, suggesting continued momentum in investor support for nature disclosures.

"Investors’ ability to optimise risk-adjusted returns for clients and beneficiaries depends on and impacts nature. TNFD's 2025 Status Report highlights growing recognition of nature and biodiversity as critical issues, both for investors and for the global business and finance communities more broadly. Whilst this is encouraging progress, momentum must be maintained if we are to successfully preserve the resilience of the planet's ecosystems, thereby also protecting investors' long-term interests,” explained David Atkin, CEO of PRI.

Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, added: "Momentum for nature is building, and this global movement could not come at a more critical time. Business resilience depends on nature resilience – the two are inseparable – and companies are recognising both the risks and the opportunities this presents. Globally comparable environmental data is now providing the critical economic signals needed to reduce risk and drive performance.”
