The PRI is re-recruiting to its Nature Reference Group, for which signatories are invited to apply by filling in this short form by 26 June 2026.
The purpose of the group is to build investor capacity to address nature-related risks and opportunities through their investment practices (including stewardship and policy). It facilitates knowledge- and practice-sharing on nature related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities, including practitioners’ experiences of relevant tools, disclosure frameworks, and initiatives.
If you are interested in joining, please review the group’s Terms of Reference for an overview of the group’s objectives and member roles and commitments.
Participation requirements:
- Participating in reference group meetings (minimum one 1-hour call every 3 months).
- Sharing information on updates and developments in the member’s jurisdiction and/or area of expertise.
- Providing feedback on PRI’s content and programme strategy (as appropriate in reference group meetings or ad hoc requests to review future PRI guidance on nature).
Group members are appointed by the PRI Executive based on the following criteria:
- PRI signatories who are either asset owner, asset manager, or service provider.
- Organisational interest and/or experience on the issue of nature and biodiversity loss, with a willingness to advance their investment practices and policies on nature.
- Abilities and commitment from the organisation to contribute experience and time to the objectives of the Group (minimum time commitment: one 1-hour call every 3 months).
The PRI is aiming to maintain a fair representation of its signatory base within this group (signatory type and geographic location). This Nature Reference Group also aims to support investors to advance their investment practices on nature-related issues, with members expected to share experience and progress to support peer learning.
The Nature Reference Group is a voluntary body, comprising of PRI signatories. The group’s objectives are to:
- Advance signatory awareness and understanding of nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities surrounding their investment activities, as well as their importance in pursuing credible net zero targets (e.g., focusing on priority sectors and issues such as agriculture and deforestation).
- Build investor capacity and peer learning to enable investors to address nature-related issues, in line with global sustainability goals, including the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework (e.g., sharing investor practices and experiences with tools, disclosure frameworks, and stewardship initiatives).
- Support investors to integrate nature-related risks and opportunities in their investment practices and policies, including through stewardship and policy engagement, and to use the best available tools and frameworks.
- Facilitate investor input on PRI’s nature nature-related work and priorities, e.g. PRI thought-leadership, guidance, stewardship and policy engagement to support wider capacity building.
