In November 2025, following more than four years of research, market consultation and piloting, the Taskforce on Nature-based Financial Disclosures (TNFD) released a set of eight “Recommendations for upgrading the nature data value chain for market participants." The recommendations seek to catalyse a whole-of-value-chain mindset shift about the discoverability, quality and accessibility of nature-related data as a strategic global public good.
Recommendation 5 focuses on incentivizing corporate nature data exchange. The aim is to expand mechanisms and incentives for companies and financial institutions to create a virtuous cycle of data improvement by sharing the state-of-nature data that they have collected into the global commons, earning its recognition as a valuable contribution to global policy goals on halting and reversing nature loss.
Despite both a willingness and successful examples of corporates contributing nature data to the public domain, barriers to participation remain. This webinar will feature corporate actors describing their experience sharing open biodiversity data, the GBIF network highlights of corporate engagement to date, and case-study insights from SiB Colombia and ANDI (Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia | National Business Association of Colombia).
