News & media Cordiant Capital Announced as Early Adopter of TNFD

16 January 2024

As announced today at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, Cordiant Capital is pleased to share that it has become an early adopter of the TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures).

The TNFD is a pioneering framework aimed at providing decision-makers with better quality information that improves enterprise and portfolio risk management.

As an early mover in the world of responsible investment, Cordiant has long recognized the fragility of the ecosystem and biodiversity and the pivotal role they play in fostering economic resilience. As a specialist investor in global infrastructure and real assets, Cordiant is committed to avoiding deforestation and the destruction of High Conservation Value areas and has integrated these principles into our investment strategy and approach.  

A proud member of the Cerrado Project since 2018, early adoption of the TNFD represents a logical next step in Cordiant’s commitment to best practice standards in responsible investment and continuous improvement of our processes. Cordiant undertakes to phase in a systematic integration of the TNFD framework into our investment strategy, in order to better understand the impact of nature-related risks with the aim of improving risk management and asset allocation decisions to the benefit of Cordiant’s fund investors.

Cordiant is moreover making clear its commitment to transparency and intends to disclose nature-related risks and opportunities for FY 2024. This aligns with Cordiant’s aim to drive positive outcome and promote sustainable practices in the financial landscape, where possible.

Cordiant looks forward to engaging and collaborating with the TNFD and other members to pave the way towards a financial sector that works with and not against nature.

Said Cordiant CEO Benn Mikula: ‘We are delighted to further our commitment to sustainable operations, responsible investment, and transparency. We believe that becoming an early adopter of the TNFD will help Cordiant deliver superior risk analysis and mitigation for our investors and support the generation of attractive risk-adjusted returns across our suite of infrastructure equity and direct lending products.”
