2023 Nature Benchmark Insights Report

The World Benchmarking Alliance’s 2023 Nature Benchmark assessed the performance of 350 companies in the food and agriculture sector and 30 paper and forest product companies.

This insights report goes into further detail about our key findings. It also provides insights about the results and trends of the companies assessed.

Overall, the results show that:

• Company performance is severely lagging behind the level of action required to halt and reverse nature loss.
• However, there are promising signs that substantial progress is possible. There are companies that stand out in their performance and provide valuable opportunities for peer learning.
• While companies are increasingly making commitments towards reducing harmful impacts across a range of issues, they continue to lack tangible action supported by target setting and reporting of progress.
• Some important topics, such as measuring and disclosing impacts and dependencies on nature or the introduction of invasive alien species, remain almost wholly ignored.
