Catawba College had made a serious commitment to becoming a nature positive campus. What it lacked was a way to know whether anything it did was actually working. This case study looks at how EcoMetrix Solutions Group built a site-level performance baseline for the college, how an intact forest preserve next door became the benchmark, and what it takes to turn ecological ambition into a measurable plan.
Generating reliable plant-level measurements remains difficult in permanent crop systems such as cacao. This case study examines how Agerpoint applies computer vision and digital reconstruction techniques to derive structured observations from imagery.
In 2025, GIST Impact and Storebrand Asset Management analysed the 100 largest listed companies across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland to assess how they interact with nature. Despite outperforming global peers by 42% on biodiversity impact, the data showed their combined pressure on nature has grown by roughly 1% every year since 2017. Growth, it turns out, has not been decoupled from nature impact.
