This breakfast roundtable discussion, jointly organised by TNFD and the Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), welcomes business leaders and key decision-makers from financial institutions and public and private corporate entities (both small and large) to deepen their understanding of the risks and opportunities that result from their impacts and dependencies on nature.

The event concludes with a roundtable discussion with key sustainability stakeholders who will provide deeper insights into financing and investing in natural capital and biodiversity.

  • Foster a deep understanding of TNFD, its adoption and its implications for sustainable finance within the Singapore/Asia landscape


About Co-convener

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has developed a set of disclosure recommendations and guidance that encourage and enable business and finance to assess, report and act on their nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. By better understanding the risks and opportunities that result from their impacts and dependencies on nature, businesses and finance can take meaningful decisions to reduce risks and shift the flow of global capital towards nature-positive outcomes.
