Nature Positive Role of the Technology Sector 2025

Conclusion A nature-positive tech sector is both a necessity and a strategic opportunity. This report has presented practical, commercially viable solutions that now need broader adoption to ensure long- term success for the sector and for nature. The technology sector’s operational resilience, access to resources and social licence to grow increasingly depend on natural ecosystems and responsible supply chains. At the same time, tech companies possess powerful levers – including innovation, capital, data and influence – to lead the shift towards sustainable growth models. The seven action areas presented in this report offer practical, high-benefit interventions that are already being implemented by first movers across the industry. Solutions proposed here – including closed-loop water systems, low-GWP process gases, renewable energy integration and circular design – are both technically feasible and commercially viable. However, broader adoption will require leadership, investment and collaboration at scale. Companies embedding nature into core strategy, product design, site development and procurement are more likely to ensure long-term success. Financial institutions and investors can accelerate progress by integrating nature risk into capital decisions. Policy-makers and regulators have a critical role in setting clear disclosure standards, incentivizing circularity and enabling nature restoration. Through early leadership, the technology sector can not just mitigate risk, but help build the nature-positive systems on which a thriving digital economy depends. It can also play a key role in influencing and enabling the nature-positive transition beyond its own value chain – the focus of an upcoming body of work in 2026.
