Michelmores is one of very few law firms already engaged actively in the Natural Capital space, with over 40 team members working with market-leading clients. We are completing deals rather than just talking about the concept.

Natural Capital is a new asset class, but one which is derived from the oldest – land. Michelmores has the leading agricultural practice in the country, and we call on both that sector knowledge and expertise together with that across the wider firm to enable clients to deliver environmental benefits in a way that meets their diverse goals.

The availability of payments for the preservation of Natural Capital and associated environmental services offers many new opportunities to landowners, investors and specialist advisers and we are uniquely placed to provide the best legal advice and support in respect of this emerging market and also in terms of the necessary evolution of the relationship with the tenanted sector.

Founded in 1980, Triodos Bank has become a frontrunner in sustainable banking globally. As an independent bank that promotes responsible and transparent banking, it does not see any conflict between a focus on people and the planet and a good financial return. Instead it believes that they reinforce each other in the long-term. Triodos Bank has banking activities in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Spain and Germany as well as Investment Management activities based in the Netherlands but active globally. In November 2024, Triodos Bank announced its commitment to providing at least EUR 500 million in investments, loans and contributions to the nature-based solutions sector by the end of 2030 as part of its biodiversity targets. Triodos Bank co-founded the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV), a network of sustainable banks. Together these banks want to grow sustainable banking and its impact on the real economy substantially.

Zulu Ecosystems is accelerating the transition to a nature-positive planet by mapping, evaluating and actioning the potential returns from land-based interventions. Our automated platform provides land-based stakeholders with tailored and actionable insights into opportunities for woodland creation, peatland restoration, biodiversity uplift, soil health and water quality – and a team of experts to help realise them. Our rigorous science and technology-based approach accelerates the creation of landscape scale nature-based solutions, which are optimised for nature, people and capital.

As the GFI Nature Team (GFI Hive), our mission is to increase the role of the private sector in paying for and investing in nature restoration, nature-based solutions and nature-positive outcomes, ensuring that high-integrity environmental and social outcomes are delivered.

Like our colleagues across GFI, we began our work in the UK partnering with the finance sector, government, academia, environmental NGOs and land managers to identify and unlock barriers to this mission. We have since expanded to now work internationally, such as through the Revenues for Nature global initiative with partners UNEP FI and UNDP Biofin.

Kana Earth provides the digital infrastructure that enables scalable institutional investment into natural capital.

Our platform connects all participants in the investment chain, from landowners and project developers to asset managers and corporates, making nature a core investment theme.

Kana Earth delivers two integrated products:

Together, they enable capital to flow efficiently, transparently, and at scale into nature.

Rebuilding Nature has a vision to create a Strategic Nature Network by restoring dynamic ecosystems that protect society, delivering 30|30|30 

30% of land and sea being restored by nature for people, and dealing with 30% of the UKs emissions reductions by 2030

Rebuilding Nature is an alliance of cross sector organisations who want to invest in nature now because it is critical national infrastructure. To invest with confidence the alliance wants to: 

1. Create a Strategic Nature Network (SNN) 

2. Develop Nature Investment Zones as the key building blocks of the SNN for ecosystem level restoration 

3. Restart natural processes across the SNN to make it climate resilient. 

The alliance members believe this all adds up to a no-regrets mechanism for delivering existing national and international climate and nature targets simultaneously.
