Do you want to contribute to a nature positive future?<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Climate change is only one of the pressures driving the nature crisis.
\nWe must adopt an <\/span><\/i>integrated approach<\/i><\/b> to also address changes in land, freshwater and marine use, direct exploitation of natural resources, pollution, invasive alien species, biological disturbances, and other <\/span><\/i>key drivers of nature loss.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

We will help you measure, manage, and report your nature-related risks and opportunities. <\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/span>

Look<\/span> at your stakeholders and value chain<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This includes defining <\/span>your<\/span> assessment boundaries, mapping your direct operations and supply chain, and starting the conversation with your <\/span>internal and external stakeholders.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Understand<\/span> the impacts and dependencies on nature<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This stage delves deeper into <\/span>understanding the local states of nature <\/b>in your direct operations and supply chain, your material nature-related impacts and dependencies, physical, transition, and reputational risk factors, and understanding how your stakeholders prioritise ESG-related topics (Environmental, social, and corporate governance).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Commit<\/span> to a nature-positive approach<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Based on the material nature-related risks and opportunities specific to your organisation, we will help you <\/span>quantify your pressures on nature<\/b> according to a reference baseline and develop a commitment with time-bound, location-specific, and science-based targets that can be tracked with measurable KPIs. Commitments and targets will be <\/span>tailored to each organisation<\/b>: no two <\/span>strategies<\/span> will look the same. As part of our comprehensive approach, we also offer <\/span>services<\/span><\/a> to enhance supply chain traceability and ensure zero conversion and zero deforestation upstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Act<\/span> toward your targets<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We will help you put nature at the heart of your decision-making<\/b> by following the mitigation hierarchy – a prioritisation framework that helps companies to avoid, minimise, restore, and compensate residual impacts (in that order) for responsible management of climate, biodiversity, or water impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Share<\/span> the results with your stakeholders<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The LUCAS approach is adapted to meet the <\/span>communication, reporting, and disclosure requirements<\/b> for all types of stakeholders, including your partners, local communities, investors, clients, and financial institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
