TNC’s Impact Finance and Markets Division
Market leaders and policymakers understand the critical role of the private sector in achieving a nature-positive, net-zero future. In line with this vision and the growing demand for conservation expertise, TNC established the Impact Finance and Markets division (IFM) in 2021. IFM unites experts from across the organization to work with companies and investors to make a compelling business case for nature.
Corporate Engagement
We work with industry-leading companies across the globe to help them integrate sustainability into their business models, create more resilient supply chains, and ultimately change how companies value nature.
Impact Investing
We help source, structure, fund, and close investment deals that aim to generate environmental, social and financial returns. To date, our portfolio represents over $3.1 billion in impact capital across multiple asset types and geographies.
Carbon Markets
We are working to scale natural climate solutions as a crucial component of the world achieving net-zero. Our aim is to create a global portfolio of high-quality carbon projects and drive systemic improvements across the carbon markets.
Sustainable Debt
We help governments refinance national debt, creating sustainable funding to support conservation and climate commitments. To date, we’ve helped unlock an estimated $400 million for conservation in four countries, and more opportunities lie ahead.
