Profile
Nature Positive is an environmental and social sustainability consultancy with a simple conviction: the global challenges around nature, climate and people are inextricably linked, and the most effective solutions tackle all three together. Where others treat deforestation, biodiversity, and human rights as separate workstreams, Nature Positive delivers them as one integrated programme. It produces strategies that hold up to regulatory, investor and civil society scrutiny.
Nature Positive’s team combines scientific rigour with hands-on corporate experience in supply chain management, risk, and sustainability strategy. It works across food systems and forestry, manufacturing, energy, mining, and the built environment. Nature Positive enables consumer facing and supply chain companies to develop and deliver their sustainability strategies at a local scale for global impact.
