Accounting for Nature

The Accounting for Nature® Framework is free to be used by any organisation or individual to measure the biophysical condition of environmental assets (e.g. native vegetation, soils, freshwater, native fauna, marine) in a project area, across an entire property or within a region, state or even across a nation. The Framework also provides an optional paid certification pathway for interested parties to have their environmental accounts recognised as either “Certified - AfN Verified” or “Certified – Independent Audit” by Accounting for Nature Ltd.

Accounting for Nature® “Certified - AfN Verified” and “Certified - Independent Audit” Environmental Accounts are widely considered the source of truth and trust for any sustainability claim that is made with respect to landscape or marine conservation and restoration. These accounts can be used for underpinning government and philanthropic grants, issuance and tracking of green bonds and other financial instruments, monitoring the efficacy of sustainable land management activities, consumer labelling on food and fibre products, undertaking due diligence on impact investments, and credibly linking environmental co-benefits to carbon offset units and underpinning the issuance of nature units under different internationally recognised standards.
