Gareth Thomas, PhD MRSB, bridges the gap between scientific research and practical business applications, transforming complex biodiversity data into actionable insights for financial and policy decisions.
As Head of Research Innovation at the Natural History Museum, Gareth provides science-based data used by governments and investors globally. He advises on the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures implementation and has collaborated with Bloomberg, Aviva, and MunichRE to integrate biodiversity metrics into investment frameworks. His board trusteeship at Chester Zoo complements his work with international policy bodies on global biodiversity targets.
Gareth helps organisations navigate the increasingly material risks of nature loss by translating ecological science into business-relevant metrics. His expertise enables companies to identify nature-related dependencies in their operations, quantify previously invisible risks in supply chains, and develop evidence-based strategies that align financial performance with environmental resilience.
Audiences leave Gareth's presentations with practical frameworks for assessing nature-related financial risks, clear methodologies for measuring biodiversity impacts across operations, and strategic approaches to converting environmental challenges into competitive advantages.
Book Gareth when your organisation needs to transform complex ecological concepts into strategic business opportunities that drive both sustainability and profitability.
