Why biodiversity should be part of your business

Biodiversity is a pillar in the global economy. The World Economic Forum estimates that $44 trillion (USD) in value generation, representing more than 50% of global gross domestic product (GDP), depends on nature, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.  

With biodiversity shrinking at alarming rates, the resilience of agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries is under threat. Companies who don’t understand their impacts and dependencies on nature face risks to profitability, sustainable financing, market share, and supply chain as well as legal and regulatory consequences. Reputation with employees, customers, shareholders, and local communities can also be impacted.

We help clients take a nature-positive approach to enhance their reputation, meet regulatory requirements, and build long-term resilience. Aligning business goals with environmental stewardship offers a strategic advantage in a world where nature’s health is closely tied to economic stability and community well-being. 

Biodiversity is the variety of all living things and how they interact. According to the United Nations, biodiversity “forms the web of life, of which humans are integral and upon which people and the planet so fully depend.”
