The World Benchmarking Alliance's Nature Benchmark measures and ranks the world's most influential companies on their efforts to protect our environment and its biodiversity.

This metric relates to the Indicator: The company advocates nature-positive policies and regulations and discloses any misalignment with its lobbying activities as well as the measures it takes to address misalignment.

Rationale: Both individually and through trade associations, companies should advocate nature-positive policies and regulations. Companies should not finance trade associations that undermine nature-positive policies, including regarding the climate. Companies should conduct regular due diligence on the trade associations they support, and fully disclose the names of the associations, the alignment of their lobbying activities with policies and regulations that support nature-positive outcomes and their action plans to correct any misalignment.
