Financing a Sustainable Future

A global food and beverage brand, identifies water security and soil health as critical nature-related dependencies through its TNFD LEAP assessment and SBTN materiality screening. Analysis reveals that drought and biodiversity loss in upstream agricultural regions could threaten the availability and quality of ingredients like sugar and grains. To proactively mitigate these risks, the company purchases Quest nature tokens from verified projects in its sourcing regions. These credits support regenerative land management and native habitat restoration on working farms, enhancing ecosystem services such as pollination, water retention, and soil fertility.

A European consumer goods company, has publicly committed to protect, restore, or regenerate 1,000 hectares of natural land by 2030 as part of its SBTN-aligned nature strategy and contribution to the Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3 (30x30). Rather than acquiring and managing land directly, the company invests in Quest nature tokens that provide transparent and traceable outcomes, ensuring real biodiversity gains on sustainably managed landscapes.  The company tracks hectares protected and restored in real time, supported by remote sensing, blockchain verification, and independent ecological assessments.

A national energy utility is constructing a major transmission line that will disturb native vegetation. Under jurisdictional environmental regulation, the utility is required to offset biodiversity loss resulting from the development. To meet its legal obligations, the company purchases Quest nature tokens that align with “like-for-like or better” principles. These tokens come from land managed under long-term conservation agreements, with ongoing monitoring and reporting. Beyond compliance, the company integrates this activity into its broader TNFD reporting, disclosing the project’s environmental impacts and how they were addressed. The company also links the offset to its net gain policy and biodiversity KPIs, supporting its long-term license to operate.
