What is the TNFD?
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures is an international initiative designed to help organizations understand, manage, and disclose the financial risks and opportunities that arise from their interactions with nature and biodiversity.
Modeled after the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the TNFD expands the focus beyond carbon and climate to include the broader natural systems that sustain life and business — forests, water, soil, and species.
By following the TNFD framework, companies can better identify how their operations depend on and affect natural ecosystems, and how changes in biodiversity could influence long-term business resilience.
The TNFD framework is organized around four key pillars:
-
Governance – how nature-related risks and opportunities are overseen within an organization.
-
Strategy – how these risks and opportunities impact the company’s business plans and financial outlook.
-
Risk and Impact Management – how the organization identifies, assesses, and manages its nature-related impacts.
-
Metrics and Targets – the goals, indicators, and data used to measure progress.
Why Mitsuboshi Belting Joined the TNFD Initiative
At Mitsuboshi Belting, we have long been committed to sustainability, transparency, and responsible growth. Our company has taken action on critical global challenges, including climate change, human rights, and resource circulation. Joining the TNFD marks a natural extension of that commitment, one that recognizes biodiversity as essential to both ecological and economic health.
By registering as a TNFD Adopter, Mitsuboshi Belting is signaling its intent to align with the TNFD framework by fiscal year 2026, ensuring that our environmental disclosures meet international standards. This step allows us to strengthen our understanding of how natural capital impacts our business and how our operations, in turn, impact the environment.
Our Philosophy: Balancing Humanity and Nature
Mitsuboshi Belting’s corporate philosophy, “To give attentive consideration to both humanity and nature,” guides every aspect of our business. We believe that innovation and sustainability are not opposing goals – they are interconnected.
Through our TNFD adoption, we will continue to enhance environmental transparency and contribute to building a nature-positive society, one that promotes coexistence between people, industry, and the natural world.
Looking Ahead
Environmental challenges like biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation demand global collaboration. As part of the TNFD community, Mitsuboshi Belting joins more than a thousand organizations working toward a shared goal: reshaping financial and business decisions to account for nature’s value.
Together, we can help preserve the natural systems that sustain all industries and ensure that future generations inherit a planet rich in both opportunity and life.
