Nature and business
Nature is foundational to business resilience. Businesses depend on clear air, water, natural materials and stable ecosystems to make products, run facilities, and deliver services. They also impact the quality and availability of these essential resources.
As a result, topics such as biodiversity, nature-related risks and opportunities, impacts and dependencies, nature strategies and roadmaps, and nature disclosures are becoming increasingly relevant to sustainability teams.
Understanding these topics is often the first step towards determining what nature means for a business and where to focus action.
