In a world of interconnected environmental and business risks, Open Lines helps organisations integrate nature into risk management and decision-making to strengthen resilience. Aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and other biodiversity and disclosure frameworks, we position nature as both a risk and an opportunity for businesses. Nature loss can disrupt supply chains, deplete essential resources, and create financial instability, while nature-positive strategies can unlock new markets, drive innovation, and enhance business resilience.

With a tailored approach, we help organisations navigate evolving regulatory and disclosure requirements while balancing commercial priorities with environmental responsibility. Our bespoke solutions build accountability, strengthen reputation, and future-proof operations.

What is Nature-based reporting?

Nature-based reporting helps organisations integrate nature into financial and sustainability disclosures by assessing and managing their ecological dependencies and impacts. It provides a structured approach to aligning with frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Science-Based Targets for Nature (SBTN), ensuring businesses make informed decisions that account for nature-related risks and opportunities.

Why it matters?

• Global regulatory trends – International sustainability standards are raising expectations for nature-related disclosures, influencing investor and stakeholder demands

• Growing expectations in Australia – While no formal national framework exists, businesses face increasing pressure to improve transparency on nature-related risks and opportunities as reporting requirements evolve

• Risk management & resilience – Identifying dependencies on natural capital enables businesses to mitigate risks and strengthen long-term resilience

• Competitive advantage – Integrating nature-positive practices enhances reputation, builds stakeholder trust, and improves access to sustainable finance
