Nature strategy for fashion brands
Upload a sourcing spreadsheet. Daisy assesses your exposure across six nature pressures and returns a board-ready strategy — grounded in your real commodities and countries.
Works at any data maturity level — imperfect spreadsheets welcome

How it works
Drop in a spreadsheet — commodity names, suppliers, countries, volumes. Quality varies wildly in the industry; Daisy works with what you have.
The platform classifies and cleans your data and fills gaps using global production benchmarks. You review and sign off the cleaned dataset, then every commodity is screened against six nature pressures.
A six-pressure heatmap, strategic actions sized to your exposure and sequenced across three horizons, recommended targets — export-ready as PDF or DOCX.
The assessment
No composite score, no hidden methodology — each pressure grounded in a named, authoritative dataset.
Land use & conversion
Daisy commodity ratings, AFi conversion/degradation definitions · Global Forest Watch where geolocated
Species & habitat impact
GBIF · IUCN Red List · WDPA protected areas
Water use
WRI Aqueduct 2.1 baseline water stress
Water pollution
ENCORE impact drivers · Daisy commodity pollution matrix
Soil & chemical pollution
ENCORE impact drivers · Daisy commodity pollution matrix
Climate
Daisy commodity GHG-intensity ratings, informed by Fashion on Climate and Textile Exchange
The output
Not a compliance checklist. Not a risk score. A structured nature strategy with an executive summary, a sequenced action roadmap and targets — every claim traceable to its source.

Pressure assessment
Example brand · 3 commodities · 6 sourcing countries
| Commodity | Origin | Land use & conversion | Species & habitat | Water use | Water pollution | Soil & pollution | Climate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | India · Pakistan | High | Medium | Critical | High | High | High |
| Leather | Brazil · Argentina | Critical | High | Medium | High | Medium | High |
| Viscose | China · Indonesia | High | Medium | High | High | High | Medium |
Severity derived from GBIF, the IUCN Red List, WDPA, WRI Aqueduct, ENCORE impact drivers cross-checked against Daisy’s commodity pollution matrix, and Daisy’s own commodity GHG-intensity ratings, informed by Fashion on Climate and Textile Exchange. Land ratings are Daisy’s own commodity-level ratings, using Accountability Framework Initiative definitions for the conversion and degradation split, and are labelled as proxies in the product. Global Forest Watch alerts are screened where locations are geolocated. Country-level benchmarks used where facility coordinates unavailable.
All data is illustrative. Real output is generated from your uploaded sourcing spreadsheet.
Paid add-ons
Built on your nature strategy — no re-upload. Deadlines create urgency, but the strategy leads.
Four-pillar governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics report.
Nine leading fashion brands' published nature targets and actions, human-curated and source-linked, compared with yours.
Biodiversity and ecosystems disclosure (ESRS E4) with datapoint mapping and double materiality.
Per-facility deforestation screening and due diligence statement content, ready for you to file in TRACES.
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures framework is rapidly becoming the investor-facing standard for nature risk. Here's what TNFD requires, why fashion brands are in scope, and how to structure your first disclosure.
The EU Deforestation Regulation applies from 30 December 2026 for medium and large operators, and 30 June 2027 for small ones. Scope is narrower than most people assume — and leather was removed in July 2026. Here's what actually applies to you.
TNFD, CSRD ESRS E4, SBTN — they all require the same underlying work. Here's a five-step process for building a credible nature strategy from your existing sourcing data.
