Recommend this online meeting for those of you working in business strategy – see link in first comment. Especially if your company has a net zero strategy but you don’t really know where to start on nature.
If this is the case you’re not alone, but you are missing an opportunity. Any company that wants to survive and thrive into the long-term will need to sort out its relationship with nature. Simply no way we can tackle climate change without restoring natural ecosystems and protecting biodiversity. The two go hand in hand.
Of the many companies and executives I speak to, the best can see the way the wind is blowing. They are the ones proactively looking at how their operations impact on nature, taking responsibility, and making the needed changes. Nobody pretends this is easy, but regulators will increasingly demand it and so will investors, your own workforce and wider society. Big gains for the businesses that move now, whilst huge costs coming for the laggards.
Business for Nature is holding two free global webinars with a lot of practical advice for companies and financial institutions. Idea is to walk through their new Nature Strategy Handbook and hear directly from companies already on the journey. Date is 9 November. Worth participating. Probably the most useful call you will have that day : )
