Standing With Businesses and Investors That
step up for Nature
Because nature is no longer someone else’s risk to manage. Leaders in the private sector deserve more than ambition. They deserve a credible and defensible roadmap to results.
Our Services for the private sector
Nature-related risk, regulation, and expectation are rising fast, and the businesses that move early will lead. But understanding your relationship with nature, and acting on it credibly, takes more than a sustainability statement. It takes rigorous assessment, clear strategy, and disciplined execution. We help companies turn nature-related risk into business value through a range of tailored services. Click below to learn more:
Nature Impact & Dependency Assessments
You can’t manage what you haven’t measured. Most companies have only a partial picture of their relationship with nature, and how much they depend on it.
We assess your organisation’s nature-related dependencies and impacts, including the risks and opportunities that come with them. Grounded in globally recognised frameworks, our assessments are credible, comparable, and decision-ready.
Corporate Nature Strategies
A nature assessment is only useful if it drives action. Too many sustainability strategies stall in the gap between good intentions and measurable results.
We help you develop and prioritise the initiatives that address your most material nature-related risks and opportunities, aligned with your wider sustainability goals and built to integrate with how your business already operates rather than bolt on to it.
Implementation, Monitoring, & Reporting
Strategy on its own doesn’t move the needle. Delivering, and being able to show what you delivered, is what builds trust with regulators, investors, and customers.
We help you execute biodiversity initiatives, track progress against indicators that matter, and report outcomes in line with evolving frameworks such as the TNFD, so your disclosures stand up to scrutiny.
Organizational Development
Lasting change comes from within. Nature-positive practices only stick when your people have the skills, structures, and governance to own them.
We build your internal capacity through training and team development, and help you put the governance frameworks in place to institutionalise biodiversity practices across your operations, so progress does not depend on any single project or person.
Due Diligence & Investment Support
Nature-related factors increasingly shape the value of assets and the risk of deals, and the cost of getting them wrong is rising.
We evaluate nature-related assets and design clear, defensible decision-making frameworks that align with your investment objectives, giving you and your stakeholders the confidence to act.
“Global Conservation Solutions has managed several key projects for the Staying Connected Initiative, and we have been consistently happy with their work: both the results and the collaborative, inclusive, strategic approach to achieving them. Their clear communication, careful planning, and attention to detail has allowed me to focus on other important work, knowing that the job is in great hands. I highly recommend GCS to any conservation organization looking to expand its capacity.”
“GCS’s ability to keep stakeholders and rightsholders engaged on our shared goal of Bur Oak restoration in the lower Wolastoq watershed has been fantastic. Their deep experience in conservation projects and expert facilitation skills have kept this project on track and moving forward, and we can already see a realistic path towards restoration of this ecologically and culturally important species in our region.”
“Our Board needed to refocus and develop a strategic plan for moving forward. GCS led us through this process, resulting in a list of goals and priorities both for the short and long term. It was easy to get off track from time to time, but the facilitators’ gentle guidance led to consensus and action-oriented decisions that are already achieving the desired results.”
“We had a very positive experience working with GCS on setting up the DCNA’s Key Habitat Program. They are excellent facilitators, asking the right questions, guiding us toward decisions, allowing space for input while maintaining structure and progress, and communicating clearly with strong expertise.”
“Josh provided excellent, tailored support for our 2025 Accelerator program. He is thoughtful, communicative, and energetic, and his ability to bridge high-level strategy with tactical execution was a demonstrable value-add for the program. Participants found his mentorship highly actionable; in one instance, his guidance helped a project team significantly pivot their strategy for the greater long-term political traction and impact. It takes a village to run this program, and Josh was a standout member of that village, and we look forward to bringing him back to support future years of the program!”
