regenerateLayer 03 / Climate & nature
Climate and nature are part of your business strategy. We help translate relevant impacts, dependencies and risks into measures for lower emissions, greater resilience and biodiversity restoration.
THREE CHALLENGES. ONE DECISION PROCESS.
Climate and nature belong in your business strategy.
We bring impacts, dependencies and risks together in an improvement agenda. For each measure, we define objectives, costs, responsibilities and evidence.
CLIMATE MITIGATION
Reduce greenhouse gases across processes, energy and the supply chain. Start with insight and choose measures that fit your organisation.
Energy efficiency, electrification, clean generation and supply-chain collaboration.
Energy use and emissions, with traceable sources and a fixed reporting period.
Discuss climate mitigationCLIMATE ADAPTATION
Prepare sites, people and business processes for heat, drought and flooding. Connect physical risks to continuity and site planning.
Water retention, shade, soil restoration and adaptation of sites and working processes.
Site-specific risks, implemented measures and verified controls.
Discuss climate adaptationNATURE & BIODIVERSITY
Assess impacts and dependencies on nature. Prevent damage, reduce pressures and restore where your organisation can make a difference.
Nature-inclusive business sites, habitat restoration and landscape collaboration.
Appropriate indicators for soil, water, habitat and species, tracked over time.
Discuss nature & biodiversityOne measure can serve several objectives. We substantiate its contribution to each objective separately, keeping results verifiable.
FROM BUSINESS AMBITION TO SUBSTANTIATED PARTNERSHIP
Your.EARTH helps companies become Nature-Positive Partners. This involves concrete requirements and an independent assessment.
The proposed partner pathway requires demonstrable financing, a site plan, baselines, careful delivery and accountability. An ISO certificate or financial contribution alone does not confer partner status. The partnership does not certify that a company as a whole is nature-positive.
Explore the partner requirements and approachBased on YE-STD-01 v0.1: a working draft still subject to review and formal adoption.
Organise scope, financing, site plan, measurements and stewardship. Help the organisation build the required evidence.
Fulfil agreements, document contributions and delivery, and work with the landowner to ensure demonstrable stewardship.
The assessor checks the dossier and site and decides on the statement. Advisers and related parties do not assess their own work.
The partner statement and formal ISO certification are separate assessments. Participation in Your.EARTH remains your own choice. The draft standard does not itself confer status or a right to make public claims.
Explore the partnershipTHE STRATEGIC CONNECTION
We connect the context analysis to your business strategy. What do climate change, water, materials and biodiversity mean for your clients, processes and surroundings?
Relevant topics receive an owner, an objective, a measure and a place in management review.
Client expectations, process quality and continuity. We assess how climate and relevant nature dependencies may affect desired business outcomes.
Quality management & preparation for 2026The 2026 edition gives clearer attention to climate change, biodiversity and resources. We translate relevant environmental aspects and obligations into delivery and measurable progress.
Environmental management & the 2026 editionWe determine the scope based on your organisation and applicable requirements. As of 12 September 2026, ISO 9001:2026 is still being prepared for publication. View the standard’s status and sources ↗
FROM ANALYSIS TO AN EXECUTABLE PROGRAMME
A green business site can retain water, provide cooling and strengthen habitats. For each objective, we establish what the measure achieves and how we track it.
Organisational and site boundaries, source data, relevant climate risks and an ecological baseline with appropriate expertise.
Prevent damage, reduce pressures and organise restoration. For each measure: owner, timing, intended effect and dependencies.
Investment and stewardship costs, financing options and selection criteria for delivery partners. You remain in control of the choice.
Sources, measurement methods and responsibilities. Periodic reporting and independent assessment where the challenge calls for it.
Objectives are ambitions. We formulate outcome claims only on the basis of appropriate evidence. Nature restoration, emission reduction and any carbon credits each require their own evidence.
THE CONNECTION WITH YOUR.EARTH
A nature strategy takes shape where you operate. From a nature-inclusive business site to a landscape restoration programme: connecting objectives to measures, stewardship and evidence.
NATURE AS PART OF BUSINESS STRATEGYINDEPENDENT ADVICE. CONSIDERED COLLABORATION.
We help define objectives, selection criteria and financing. The Your.EARTH concept connects financing and delivery of nature programmes. Your own specialists and other suitable delivery partners can also participate.
Meet Your.EARTHYOUR.EARTH / A POSSIBLE DELIVERY PATHWAY
Your.EARTH helps companies prepare the pathway to Nature-Positive Partner. Financing, local delivery and nature connect to partner requirements, evidence and independent assessment. RTE helps determine how this pathway fits your challenge.
We distinguish RTE’s independent advisory assignment from arrangements for delivery and stewardship. Your.EARTH is an RTE client and may play a role in nature programmes. Participation is separate from purchasing our other services.
Explore the Nature-Positive Partner requirementsExplore Your.EARTH’s financing conceptEcological objectives, water and soil form the starting point. Local knowledge and participation are part of selecting measures.
Budget, duration, ownership, allocation, monitoring and stewardship are agreed in advance. The contribution follows from the programme and chosen arrangements.
Your.EARTH, your own ecological adviser or another suitable party: we assess the fit on substance and feasibility and make everyone’s roles clear.
BACK TO MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS
Programme progress feeds back into the management system. We update risks, objectives, measures and investment choices based on results.
This makes climate and nature part of regular decision-making and management review.
