Aviva case study: Tackling deforestation – a central part of our climate and biodiversity efforts | Global Canopy

Biodiversity loss is an increasingly well-recognised driver of potential financial risks, and yet the financial sector continues to contribute to the rapid decline in plant and animal species through its investment and underwriting activities. At Aviva we recognise our role in contributing to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 and are committed to make progress towards this goal, through implementation of our Biodiversity Policy.

Deforestation in the context of the TNFD Recommendations: leveraging prior progress, utilising existing datasets and going further with additional guidance

As a co-founder and official piloting partner of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Global Canopy has welcomed the publication of the final TNFD Recommendations. For the first time, this provides organisations with guidance and disclosure recommendations that help them identify, disclose and act on their material nature-related issues. This is a significant step for finance and business towards a data-driven, global response to the nature crisis in a push to drive financial flows away from nature destruction towards nature positive outcomes.

Eagle High Plantations: Financial Accounting

Published by Responsible Alpha: In 2015, Felda Global Ventures – now FGV Holdings – (FGV) hired KPMG to conduct a fair market valuation due diligence on Eagle High in connection with FGV’s acquisition of a minority stake in Eagle High. KPMG’s report found that Eagle High generated over 80% of its revenues by selling crude palm oil (CPO) at the time. It also noted that Eagle High, a large publicly traded firm, was in urgent need of cash to fund its operations; had violated loan covenants due to poor past performance; and, that 17 of its plantations’ permits and land rights had expired. KPMG advised FGV to revise down its valuation to $680 million to better account for the reported ESG, sustainability, and credit risks.
