Program Overview: What is Biodiversity and Nature-Positive Strategy (TNFD)?
Biodiversity & Nature-Positive Strategy (TNFD) Corporate Training is Edstellar's instructor-led program for sustainability leaders, risk teams, and strategists facing nature-related disclosure. Across six modules and 24 hours, participants study nature loss, business dependencies on ecosystems, and the nature-positive goal. The program covers the TNFD framework's four disclosure pillars, the LEAP approach, materiality, metrics, targets, and assurance.
Training works with your organization's footprint in mind. Participants run LEAP locate-and-evaluate exercises on sample value chains, draft materiality assessments, and design nature-related metrics in guided workshops with instructor feedback. Each module builds toward disclosure readiness with practical tools. The capstone produces a nature-positive roadmap and a draft TNFD disclosure. Peer workshops let teams compare materiality judgments and sharpen their disclosure logic.
Nature strategies fail as slogans when teams cannot locate their dependencies, measure their impacts, or say anything auditable about either. This program trains your people to do the hard analytical work behind nature-positive claims: finding priority areas, assessing materiality, and setting targets a board can defend.
The capstone roadmap sequences the work: priority locations, material risks and opportunities, metrics and targets, and a draft disclosure structured to the TNFD pillars, with an assurance plan. Instructors challenge the materiality judgments and metric choices. Your team returns with a strategy that survives stakeholder and auditor scrutiny.
Six modules and 24 hours: nature-loss economics and the nature-positive goal, the four TNFD pillars and their links to CSRD, GRI, and SBTN, the LEAP Locate and Evaluate steps, the Assess and Prepare steps with materiality and science-based targets, disclosure drafting with controls and assurance readiness, and a capstone that delivers a full disclosure draft plus a nature-positive action roadmap. Delivery is hybrid, instructor-led, with flexible scheduling for cohorts across regions.

Build Nature-Related Assessments and TNFD Disclosures from Traceable Evidence
Our biodiversity and TNFD training connects an organization’s nature dependencies and impacts with assessment, priorities, and disclosure. Participants screen sample locations, work through LEAP, and develop materiality and target proposals. The final roadmap distinguishes supported findings from data gaps and ambitions, helping teams communicate their reasoning without overstating nature-positive outcomes.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore your sector’s nature touchpoints and reporting responsibilities, identifying learning needs in dependency mapping, location screening, materiality, metrics, and disclosure evidence.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish nature-related foundations and TNFD pillars before location screening, dependency and impact evaluation, assessment, and preparation of the roadmap and disclosure draft.
- Step 03
Align
We align sustainability, risk, finance, and operations perspectives, introducing ecological and reporting concepts without assuming prior TNFD experience and clarifying data ownership.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor a sample site portfolio and case-company activities to relevant ecosystems and business interfaces, documenting what the available information can and cannot establish.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants rank priority locations, develop a materiality matrix, propose targets, and draft disclosures with feedback on traceability, assumptions, and the strength of supporting evidence.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the roadmap for coherent LEAP reasoning, justified priorities and metrics, clearly qualified targets, and disclosure language consistent with the available evidence.
