About Us
Frontierra is an environmental geospatial consultancy that utilizes geospatial data and satellite monitoring to analyse and evaluate nature-related risks, with a specific focus on biodiversity and deforestation.
We bridge the information gap that exists between organisations and the impacts their operations and investments have on nature and biodiversity by providing data, reports, and documentation to evidence compliance with legislation and offsetting requirements, assist in corporate sustainability reporting and meet consumer and shareholder expectations and climate change commitments.
Frontierra is a member of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Forum, a consultative grouping of institutional supporters that will make available global, cross-sector expertise to support the work of the TNFD.
