Why Adopt TNFD? Why Businesses Are Adopting the Framework

Why Adopt TNFD? Why Businesses Are Adopting the Framework is a one-hour online event taking place on 22 September 2026 from 8:00 am to 9:00 am BST. Hosted by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the session brings together practitioners from TNFD, Tata Steel, City Developments Limited, and the Confederation of Indian Industry to discuss why organisations are adopting the TNFD recommendations and how implementation is developing in practice.

Purpose and Objectives

The event is designed to help businesses and financial institutions understand the practical business case for assessing nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities. It focuses on why organisations are choosing to adopt TNFD, how nature-related considerations can be integrated into decision-making and strategic planning, and what companies can learn from organisations already progressing through implementation.

Key Activities

The session features a practitioner-led discussion with Tajeshwar Goyal, CFA of TNFD, Jaison Thomas of Tata Steel, Priscilla Tan of City Developments Limited, and Pravir Deshmukh of the Confederation of Indian Industry. Topics include the reasons companies are adopting TNFD, the business value of understanding nature-related risks and opportunities, lessons from implementation, the role of TNFD in strategic decision-making, and the shift from disclosure towards practical action on nature.

Significance

The event is significant because nature-related issues are becoming increasingly relevant to corporate risk management, strategy, and financial decision-making. By focusing on organisations already working with the TNFD recommendations, the session provides practical insight into how companies are incorporating nature-related considerations into business processes and moving from assessment and disclosure towards action.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect a clearer understanding of why businesses are adopting TNFD, what implementation can involve, and how the framework can support better assessment of nature-related risks and opportunities. The session is intended to provide practical lessons that organisations can use when starting or advancing their own TNFD journey.
