The Client: Huali Group

As nature-related risks move higher on the agenda for regulators, investors, customers, and financial markets, organizations need more than disclosure. They need actionable intelligence that links environmental impacts and dependencies to business performance.

Huali Group, a leading global footwear manufacturer, partnered with S&P Global Energy Horizons Sustainable1 to establish a TNFD-aligned approach for assessing and managing nature-related risks across its operations.

The Challenges

While Huali had already demonstrated strong sustainability performance and reporting capabilities, nature-related information remained fragmented across sites and functions. The company sought a structured methodology to identify, quantify, and prioritize nature-related risks and opportunities while meeting growing stakeholder expectations.

The Solution

Using Sustainable1's proprietary nature and biodiversity risk data, analytics, and advisory expertise, Huali was able to:

  • Assess nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities across operations
  • Build a portfolio-level view of environmental exposure
  • Strengthen TNFD-aligned reporting and stakeholder communication.
  • Establish a repeatable framework for future monitoring and disclosure
The Business Impact

The engagement helped Huali:

  • Improve risk visibility and management prioritization
  • Make faster, more informed business decisions
  • Enhance credibility with global customers and investors
  • Strengthen long-term operational resilience and competitiveness

By transforming nature-related data into decision-grade intelligence, Huali is better positioned to manage emerging environmental risks while supporting sustainable business growth.
