What Darwin does for your real asset fund
Asset & investment cycleScreen opportunities
- Map high-risk sectors before you commit — identifying the top physical and transition risks per asset type and technology, even with minimal data.
- Flag mandatory net-gain exposure (e.g. UK BNG) before you commit capital.
- Develop exclusion policies and adjust your investment strategy accordingly.
Why it matters
The case for acting now
For infrastructure assets, the majority of nature impact sits in the supply chain — in the materials used to build the asset, not in its operations. Standard ESG assessments miss it entirely.
Nature risk is where you're not looking.
Biodiversity Net Gain — already mandatory for major developments in England since February 2024 — is being extended to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects from May 2026. Any UK greenfield asset entering the development pipeline now requires a quantified biodiversity baseline secured for 30 years.
Biodiversity is now a legal performance requirement.
In the US, 65% of major solar energy projects requiring environmental review have faced litigation — wind at 38%, transmission lines at 31%. Nature-related permitting risk is one of the most common causes of project delay and cancellation across the energy infrastructure sector.
Permitting risk is nature risk.

How we differ
How Darwin stands apart from other nature tools
The widest coverage of physical risks
Biodiversity, water stress, climate hazards, pollution, deforestation and resource depletion — assessed together for every asset in a single environment. Where most tools stop at carbon or a single hazard, Darwin spans the full spectrum of physical and transition risks, at asset, holding and fund level, including the upstream supply chain where most infrastructure impact actually sits.
Actionable, not just a score
Every risk we surface is tied to concrete value-creation levers — through our action catalogue, scenario-simulation tool and AI co-pilot. You don’t just rate your assets; you get a clear path to reduce exposure and build value across the hold period.
Anchored in financial materiality
We translate nature and physical risk exposure into the variables your model runs on — permitting delays, CAPEX exposure, water-dependent availability and Value-at-Risk to 2050. Decision-grade numbers your investment committee and LPs can act on, not qualitative ratings.
Quantify nature risk across your infrastructure portfolio.
From deal screening to exit-ready reporting — make nature a lever, not a liability, at every stage of the investment lifecycle.
