Business and Biodiversity: Closing the Gap Between Ambition and Action
As companies begin to adopt ambitions for nature and report their impacts on biodiversity, there remains a significant gap between planning and action. This gap can be bridged with a strategic approach that recognizes the business drivers for biodiversity, creates space for stakeholder engagement, and acknowledges the power of corporate culture to enable or enrich such efforts. The gap is also bridged through integration of biodiversity efforts with other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns like climate and community.
Drawing from three decades working at the intersection of business and biodiversity, Margaret O’Gorman and Sara Cook from the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) will present a model for strategic and integrated planning for private sector action on biodiversity. You’ll explore real-world case studies from companies along the value chain like CRH plc., Solvay, GM, and others; the collective impact efforts framed by supplier initiatives, as well as national and global goals for nature.
