“Nature’s ability to provide the goods and services on which we depend is being undermined, presenting enormous risks to prosperity”
Henry M. Paulson, Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, 2020
Nature is our life support system. It is the source and sustains the air we breathe, the food we eat, the energy we use and the world of business and finance is entirely dependent upon it. If our natural systems collapses and ecosystems break down, the world may become uninhabitable for many species, including humans. Without nature, we have nothing.
Nature is everyone’s business. Every business has some impact and some dependency on nature. Your nature-related impacts are often sitting in the value chain. How can your business minimise its nature-related impacts? How can your business model evolve to ensure that it operates within the planetary boundaries?
