Systematically Addressing Regulatory Requirements Through Portfolio and Individual Analysis"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Natural risks affect a company\u2019s net worth, financial position, and earnings through various channels. The consequences are evident in credit rating adjustments, changes in liquidity, and financial ratios. Banks are becoming increasingly sensitive to the risk potential posed by natural hazards when it comes to financing and equity investments, but they also recognize the opportunities that arise from addressing these issues. Companies can significantly improve their negotiating position if they understand the extent to which they are affected by such risks. The authors\u2014Prof. Johannes Hofinger, Prof. Anna-Lena Kotzur, Dr. Julian Blohmke (LBBW), and Michael Stich (LBBW)\u2014outline two suitable approaches\u2014the portfolio approach and the individual approach\u2014that companies can adopt now to gain a comprehensive understanding of their natural risks and opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your next annual meeting with your bank\u2019s credit department might hold some surprises. Topics such as water and pollination could be on the agenda. You may find yourself thinking back to your biology classes from years ago and wondering why these topics are coming up in a financing discussion. That\u2019s understandable, but there\u2019s a serious reason behind it. Water and pollination are just two examples of natural resources and ecosystem services that can influence a company\u2019s financial position, cash flow, and profitability. For instance, water shortages in the supply chain can lead to higher procurement costs for necessary raw materials<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>, while a lack of pollination can result in lower revenues in the agricultural supply chain<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cover-REF-5-2026-zugeschnitten.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30958\" style=\"width:345px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies\u2019 business models can be both <strong>dependent on natural risks (outside-in perspective)<\/strong> and have an <strong>impact on nature (inside-out perspective)<\/strong>. Through their questions, bank advisors aim to look \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d of financial metrics. They want to understand how natural changes affect profitability and liquidity\u2014and, consequently, creditworthiness and the ability to service debt. This approach is not entirely new. The implementation of the climate agenda<a href=\"#_ftn3\" id=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> in recent years has led to the expansion of credit risk management to include non-financial risks. Similar developments are now also being observed in the consideration of natural risks and their transmission into financial risks. Companies\u2014and their finance departments in particular\u2014are therefore well advised to address this issue more closely and without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support is coming in particular from the international level, where nature-related risks are already being addressed through various initiatives. Similar to the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the Kunming-Montreal<a href=\"#_ftn4\" id=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a> Global Biodiversity Framework was established in 2022 to address ecosystem services. In parallel, the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)<a href=\"#_ftn5\" id=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> and, in particular, the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF)<a href=\"#_ftn6\" id=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>\u2014which is important for the banking and financial sectors\u2014are developing proposals for implementation and solutions. At the EU level, the guidelines on ESG risk management<a href=\"#_ftn7\" id=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a> published in January 2025 set the direction, with numerous references to biodiversity, environmental, and nature-related risks. The current 9th amendment to the MaRisk<a href=\"#_ftn8\" id=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a> integrates these guidelines into German banking supervision in a principles-based manner. The Deutsche Bundesbank\u2019s monthly report for April 2026 looks further into the future by introducing the \u201cForesight\u201d <a href=\"#_ftn9\" id=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a> project, which examines four future scenarios for nature-related risks. Important examples of best practices can be found in the European Central Bank\u2019s May 2026 publication on \u201cGood practices for advancing climate and nature-related risk management.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn10\" id=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the perspective of the CFO\u2019s agenda, the question now arises as to what concrete steps could be taken to identify financial dependencies on and impacts of nature. A major challenge lies in the complexity of the task: corporate structures can be complex, and nature and its interconnections are certainly complex.
