Biodiversity risk is your responsibility. Can you prove you’re managing it?
Speeki provides ISO 17298 certification, supplier audits and independent reviews – giving your board, investors and regulators the evidence that biodiversity risks are being managed credibly.
Why biodiversity is now a board-level risk
Disclosure is no longer optional. CSRD, TNFD and a growing list of jurisdictions now require companies to disclose biodiversity dependencies, impacts and risks – and disclosures are being scrutinised.
Directors are personally exposed. Shareholder actions over ESG and environmental misstatements are rising. Board members who sign off on weak or unsupported biodiversity claims carry real liability.
Capital and permits depend on it. Project financiers, insurers and regulators are pricing biodiversity risk into their decisions. Weak assurance can mean blocked permits, withdrawn financing or higher premiums.
Your operations depend on functioning ecosystems – and so do your supply chains, raw materials and licence to operate.
Where biodiversity risks are highest
Some industries carry disproportionate biodiversity exposure – driven by land use, resource extraction and extended supply chains.
Extraction and infrastructure projects frequently operate in or near ecologically sensitive areas. Habitat disruption, water consumption and spill risks generate biodiversity liabilities that can persist across the full asset lifecycle. The result: project approvals slow down, operating licences come under challenge, investor confidence weakens and decommissioning provisions face scrutiny.
Chemical manufacturing and downstream use can degrade soil health, harm aquatic ecosystems and affect pollinator populations. For companies with agricultural or mineral supply chains, this creates exposure across procurement, customer due diligence, product liability and regulatory compliance – including under REACH and emerging biodiversity disclosure rules.
Mining is one of the leading direct drivers of biodiversity loss globally. Land clearance, tailings and dewatering pose direct threats to ecosystems – and rising demand for transition minerals is bringing new geographies into scope. Project financiers, regulators and offtake partners are imposing stricter biodiversity conditions, and weak assurance can stall projects or pull funding.
Speeki works with organisations in these and other sectors to review, audit and certify biodiversity risks independently.
Speeki biodiversity solutions
Independent certification under ISO 17298 – the recognised evidence your board, investors and regulators are starting to demand. Speeki assesses governance, implementation and monitoring of your biodiversity programme, giving you a credible third-party basis for your disclosures and stakeholder engagement.
When formal certification isn't required, Speeki independently reviews your biodiversity risk assessment – verifying that the dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities required under CSRD, TNFD and ISO 17298 have been properly identified. The output is defensible evidence you can put in front of investors, regulators and your board.
Biodiversity risk doesn't stop at your fence line – and neither does liability. Speeki audits your key suppliers on biodiversity compliance and material impacts, so contractual requirements aren't just on paper and your supply chain disclosures hold up under scrutiny.
