More than 1,000 organisations across 56 countries and regions have now published disclosures aligned with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
The TNFD made the announcement in its 2026 Status Report, in which it said that the number of organisations publishing disclosures has doubled since last year.
In addition, some 802 organisations, including financial institutions representing $26.6 trillion in assets under management, are now classed as ‘TNFD Adopters’, meaning they are committed to adopting the TNFD’s recommendations.
More than 100 have published their third annual cycle of TNFD-aligned reporting, with evidence of disclosure increasing over time.
‘Business resilience’
“The message from the market is increasingly clear: nature loss is a financial risk and nature resilience is essential to business resilience,” commented Paul Polman, business leader, investor, philanthropist and TNFD senior adviser.
“The TNFD’s latest status report shows more than 1,000 organisations across 56 jurisdictions are making TNFD-aligned disclosures, twice as many as last year. But disclosure is only the starting point. The next step is stronger policy support and mandatory reporting requirements that provide consistency, comparability, and confidence across markets, enabling organisations of all sizes to become Net Positive by restoring, rather than depleting, the systems on which their prosperity depends.”
As the TNFD reported, the average level of disclosure per organisation remained above eight (out of 14), having declined slightly compared with the previous year.
Other findings from the report include that all investors (100%) expressed concern about the effects of nature loss on financial markets, with around three fifths (59%) ranking nature as among their organisation’s three most important sustainability topics.
Some 70% of respondents support greater certainty through mandatory nature-related reporting requirements, while over three quarters (76%) said that they have conducted (or are currently undertaking) a LEAP Assessment.
Some 56% of investors said they are already exploring or deploying capital into such opportunities, while 74% expect financing for nature-related opportunities to increase by between two and five times over the next five years.
Driving momentum
“What is most striking is that this momentum is being driven by demand rather than compliance,” added Nicola Ranger, executive director, Earth Capital Nexus and professor in practice, LSE.
“Investors are not waiting to be told: the overwhelming majority are now concerned about nature loss in their portfolios and are building it into how they invest and steward, because they see it as a question of risk and return. That is a real marker of maturity. But finance still lags disclosure. Ambition to deploy capital has run ahead of measurable targets and actual allocation. Closing that gap means treating nature as infrastructure our economies depend on, and investing in it accordingly.” Read more here.
