Why attend?

The Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures, Global Biodiversity Framework, Science-based targets for nature… incoming commitments are combining with consumer pressure to change the way extractives companies must measure, manage and report on nature.  Conventional methods for surveying biodiversity cannot meet these challenges efficiently.

Companies like yours are using new nature-tech to expand the scope of their biodiversity datasets to the ecosystem-level. They’re reducing health and safety concerns. Limiting risk. And automatically generating actionable metrics and insights from raw survey data.

Join this webinar to explore how new nature-tech – including eDNA, earth observation, bioacoustics, and automated Metrics pipelines – are helping the extractives industry respond to the new reporting landscape, overcome traditional hurdles to biodiversity measurement, and deliver on their nature-positive commitments.

Presented by NatureMetrics – whose clients include Anglo American, Shell, and RioTinto – this webinar is essential viewing for ESG, Sustainability and Biodiversity professionals who want to stay ontop of innovation and ahead of industry change.

Key learning objectives from this webinar:

  • See how new Biodiversity Metrics are helping mining companies make nature-data more actionable in the field and the board room
  • Gain an overview of how new technologies – such as eDNA, earth observation, and bioacoustics – are making onsite monitoring safer, less time-consuming, and more effective
  • Learn how to respond to the new nature reporting landscape, including the TNFD and Global Biodiversity Framework
  • Understand how eDNA is helping organisations overcome traditional constraints around biodiversity measurement, metrics and reporting
