Client Value?

TBC assessed client DCF claims, highlighting limitations in traceability and mass balance approaches. TBC then developed a DCF assurance traffic light framework to help BNP measure and support client progress.

BNP Paribas gained a clearer view of DCF claims and a structured pathway to support improvement. The traffic light framework and tool mapping provided BNP with information to engage clients with tailored, context-sensitive recommendations.

BNP Paribas wanted to assess its approach to deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) assurance, identify practical pathways for improvement, and support BNP's positioning as a sector leader.

By the end of the workshops, participants had a strong foundational understanding of biodiversity in a business context and felt confident in identifying nature-related risks and opportunities within their teams. The sessions equipped stakeholders with practical next steps and set the stage for integrating nature into LBG's procurement and sustainability strategies.

TBC designed and delivered two interactive workshops tailored to different internal audiences. One was targeted to executive leadership and one to sourcing and supply chain stakeholders. The sessions focused on the fundamentals of biodiversity, its relevance to business and climate action, and the evolving policy landscape. Attendees represented a wide range of procurement sectors, including automotive, real estate, technology, and construction. The workshops were designed to be practical and action-oriented, helping participants draw clear connections between biodiversity and LBG's supply chain operations. Drawing on our experience with impact investors and DFIs, TBC: Reviewed the landscape - Consolidated leading frameworks and methodologies, and benchmarked market best practices Defined a clear approach - Proposed a practical pathway to track and measure nature finance using suitable standards and guidance Built awareness - Delivered capacity-building sessions for executives and all staff for internal alignment

Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) wanted to build internal

understanding of nature-related risks within its third-party spend and lay the groundwork for integrating biodiversity considerations into procurement policies and sustainability strategy. They engaged TBC to support this through targeted internal engagement.
