About the data

history edit build
The WBA Nature Benchmark measures and ranks the world's most influential companies on their efforts to protect the environment and its biodiversity, tracking how companies are reducing their negative impacts on nature and contributing to the protection and restoration of ecosystems, aligned with the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework. The 2026 edition assessed 750 companies across multiple sectors including agro-food, forestry, building, tourism and the blue economy. The benchmark is developed in close collaboration with an Expert Review Committee and partners including GRI, SBTN, and TNFD, with a methodology designed to incentivise companies to understand where nature-related risks are highest and act to halt damaging trends, while keeping human rights and social impacts at its core.

Methodology

history edit build
Meeting the interests of all stakeholders is essential for a business’s long-term success.
Regular engagement with stakeholders enhances the company’s understanding of diverse and often
conflicting perspectives, fosters innovation and facilitates the development of robust and inclusive
strategies. Companies are expected to undertake meaningful stakeholder engagement, which should
yield clear outcomes or actions, as well as transparently acknowledge how stakeholder inputs are
used.The company must disclose the channel and frequency it uses to engage with different societal stakeholder groups. Examples of eligible societal stakeholder groups includes:

NGOs and CSOs
governments
local communities
academic institutions
media
vulnerable groups
tenure rights holders

Stakeholder groups that do not count as societal includes
Employees
investors
suppliers
customers
shareholders
business partners
****
It is insufficient for the company to specify a list of channels if they do not indicate how these correspond to each stakeholder group.
