Natural Capital and Biodiversity

The ID&E Group has delivered diverse projects and services contributing to natural capital conservation and management across domestic and international markets, including environmental protection, forest conservation, ecosystem preservation, and environmental assessments. With Cultivating a Beautiful and Habitable Planet as one of our material topics, we have established Action Guidelines for the Conservation of the Natural Environment and Biodiversity within our Sustainability Management Framework to demonstrate our commitment in these areas. Based on these Action Guidelines, our Group continues to enhance both internal responses and related service delivery.

Following publication of the final TNFD recommendations report in September 2023, we have been preparing disclosures aligned with TNFD recommendations. In March 2024, we joined the TNFD Forum and conducted scoping across five main Group companies. In FY 2025/ 06, based on scoping outcomes, we performed analysis and evaluation according to TNFD recommendations for priority companies and business units. We disclosed these results as a TNFD report in July 2025 and achieved TNFD Adopter registration in October 2025. Moving forward, we plan to implement the necessary measures considering potential future obligations to disclose nature-related financial information under ISSB standards and SSBJ sustainability disclosure standards. Refer to TNFD Report for comprehensive details.

To address the nationwide issue of declining seaweed beds (isoyake), Nippon Koei developed “MobaDAS,” a system that visualises the growth suitability of seaweed beds. By integrating a range of technologies—including satellite data analysis and hydrodynamic and water quality modelling—MobaDAS provides scientific support for seaweed bed restoration. The initiative contributes to the creation of blue carbon and the conservation of biodiversity, and aims to deliver nature‑positive solutions that support the transition toward a decarbonised society.
