Accelerating Action: BFBI at Biodiversity + Business Live

, , ,

BFBI’s Executive Director Dr Maria Fitzpatrick joined more than 100 business leaders, senior government officials, scientists and conservation experts in Edinburgh for Biodiversity + Business Live: Leaders Accelerating Action, hosted by JNCC, the UK Business & Biodiversity Forum and NatureScot.   

Ahead of key global meetings later in the year, including the next Convention on Biological Diversity’s Conference of the Parties (CBD COP17), the event explored how businesses can use the latest scientific evidence, building on the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment, to integrate nature into decision-making, manage risks, build resilience and unlock opportunities for sustainable growth.

The key message: biodiversity loss is one of the biggest strategic risks facing businesses today and those that act on nature now will build financial resilience, long-term profitability and gain competitive advantage. The key takeaway?

‘Boards and business leads need to move from disclosure to delivery’.

Maria joined the Working Dialogues session on ‘Enabling environment post 2030’, aimed at identifying priority actions to support businesses working for nature and enable them to move from awareness and commitment to action, as well as barriers and enablers to implementation, with key messages to inform talks at Cop17.

UKBBF Chair Paul Harrison, FRGS, summarised some of the Working Dialogues findings afterwards:

  • Nature investment must be framed as a driver of competitive advantage, short-term profitability and futureproofing for businesses
  • Biodiversity loss can no longer be treated as an isolated issue. We need a single combined narrative that interlinks climate, technological disruption and geopolitical risks over a short and long-term horizon
  • There must be clear benchmarking for companies to compare progress against peers, as well as consistent, national frameworks that will help them take and measure positive action

Business for Nature’s Head of Global Engagement Martin Cruickshank highlighted the global initiative It’s Now for Nature Accelerator, with a shout-out to BFBI as Irish partner, encouraging all countries and organisations to develop and publish on their nature strategies as soon as possible using the accelerator framework and upload these alongside examples from Chile, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Taiwan among others.

Other speakers at Biodiversity + Business Live included Professor Colin Galbraith of NatureScot, David Cooper, Chair of JNCC, Mark Johnston of UKBBF and Dr Gemma Harper OBE FAcSS, CEO of JNCC who said: “Biodiversity loss is not just an environmental challenge, it is a strategic business risk. Together we can help restore nature, strengthen economic resilience and build a nature-positive future.”

The event highlighted how important collaboration is – learning from each other is something BFBI has strived to enable through exchanging ideas with our peers at forums such as these and, closer to home, bringing our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme businesses together for in-person workshops to share challenges and insights, encouraging all Irish businesses to share their sustainability initiatives and learn from peers via our partners, SustainabilityExamples.com and gathering member feedback to refine our offerings.

Launch of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030

, ,

BFBI Executive Director Dr Maria Fitzpatrick attended the launch of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030 at an event hosted by Dr Noeleen Smyth, Director at the National Botanic Gardens, supported through the Government of Ireland’s Shared Island Fund, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the NIEA Northern Ireland Environment Agency.

It was great to hear both Minister for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity Christopher O’Sullivan, Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the NI Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Andrew Muir speaking in support of the plan and emphasising the need for a strong Shared Island approach. Chief Scientific Officer at the National Biodiversity Data Centre Úna Fitzpatrick spoke on the importance of business actions for pollinators, with colleagues in attendance including Business & Biodiversity Officer for the Pollinator Plan Sarah Kelly, Cillian McMahon of Business in the Community Ireland, Biodiversity Officer at Kildare County Council Méabh Boylanand our BFBI member Geoff Hamilton, Biodiversity Lead at ESB, currently pioneering the Evolution Track of our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme.

Connecting Nature and connecting networks is a big theme for the plan, according to Eimear Fox, Senior Landscape Architect at Transport Infrastructure Ireland, something BFBI will be encouraging the many transport members in our business network to work on developing. The vision is to create a landscape that provides food and shelter every 200 metres, as important solitary bees can only travel short distances from their nest sites to find food.

The launch also heard from tillage farmer Andrew Bergin on the good work he is doing with the Pollinator Plan, tweaking farming methods to help pollinators flourish. The launch also heard from Assistant Parks and Landscape Officer Cat Savage and Dr Dara Stanley, of the Irish Pollinator Research Network, University College Dublin among many more.

Welcoming the launch, An Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: “The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan has proved an enormous success over the last decade in bringing together farmers, local communities, public bodies and businesses to help conserve and create a landscape where pollinators can survive and thrive. I look forward to seeing the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan expand and continue this crucial work in protecting sustainable agriculture, food security, and benefitting the island’s unique and precious biodiversity.”

Assess: Moving into Action with our opening workshop

, , , , ,

Our first immersive Action Track workshop of 2026 was delivered by our new Business Programme Lead Caroline Cawley and BFBI Technical & Research Lead Dr Emer Ní Dhùill, supported by our Business Programme Advisor Dr Catherine Farrell, Asst Prof Nature & Business at Trinity College Dublin at the Deloitte Ireland HQ in Dublin on April 14.

The workshop, supported by Deloitte’s WorldClimate Team, covered how our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme (NSAP) businesses would begin to assess nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities (DIROs) as a step to building credible, future-proof, impact-focused nature strategies, that drive action for the benefit of biodiversity and nature. The NSAP is based on our global partners Business For Nature‘s ACT-D framework. The framework is a 4-part, iterative process to Assess, Commit, Transform and Disclose on your organisation’s relationship with nature.

In this opening workshop, we talked about scoping boundaries and identifying stakeholders, looking at a variety of examples from major organisations on how they are presenting the mapping of their value chains, and exchanging ideas on where the focus should be in a post-Omnibus era. Our businesses explored the options for their sectors and their particular business model, as they work toward the key output of this Track – a Double Materiality Assessment, by asking: “What is the extent of our value chain and who are the important voices in it?”

Caroline commented: “It’s a really exciting time to be working in the nature and sustainability space, as we support Irish businesses to start to understand how to map and measure their dependencies and impacts on nature.”

Thanks to our participating businesses including CIÉ Group’s Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus and Irish Rail, Dublin Airport Authority, Shannon Airport Group and Eirgrid for their diligent work with us and our supporters at Deloitte Ireland including Cáitlín Flanagan and Eimear Kelly, and  Sarah Kelly from the National Biodiversity Data Centre, and the National Parks & Wildlife Service.

Events putting nature firmly on the ESG agenda

, , , ,

It was a week which underlined how much nature has solidified its place on the business agenda alongside climate issues – with the inaugural Carbon & Nature Forum, a Nature Panel at the Business Post ESG & Sustainable Business Summit, BFBI as a finalist at the ESG Awards and our first Nature Strategy Accelerator workshop of the year.

Our Executive Director Dr Maria Fitzpatrick writes:

We launched into the second quarter of 2026 with a week of inspiring events that really brought home how much nature is now firmly on the business agenda alongside climate – kicking off on Tuesday, April 14th with our first in-person workshop of 2026 with this year’s first cohort of businesses for our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme’s Action Track Workshop #1, delivered in association with Deloitte’s WorldClimate Team at their HQ in Dublin.

The focus: getting practical and helping our member organisations identify what’s truly material for them when it comes to reporting and strategy. More on that in future, with two more workshops in the pipeline. Huge thanks to all who participated in an interactive day-long session, to the BFBI team and our new Business Programme Lead Caroline Cawley making her workshop lead debut, to our Business Programme Advisor Dr Catherine Farrell for her continued input into the 2026 programme and to our workshop delivery partners Deloitte Ireland’s Sustainability Leader Caítlín Flanagan for their ongoing support.

That same day, the first Carbon & Nature Forum at Trinity Business School, hosted by the fantastic BE IMPACTFUL team, brought together a powerhouse line-up, with Asst Prof of Business & Nature Dr Catherine Farrell joining the panel discussions. Huge thanks to Tom Popple, Orlaith Delargy, and Louise French for creating such a valuable space. It was one of those sessions you don’t want to leave (even when your calendar says otherwise). Looking forward to being part of what comes next.

The evening of nature and climate conversations continued at the Climate Heist in The Sugar Club with Climate Cocktail Club – an engaging and thought-provoking mix of music and conversation, featuring voices such as Lesley O’Connor and Aoife O’Leary, alongside inspiring examples of climate innovation and entrepreneurship. BFBI is delighted to get involved in the Climate Cocktail Club’s second annual Climate Carnival ‘From Siloes to Systems’ coming up in September so stay tuned and join the mailing list for more updates on registration and collaboration opportunities. See www.climatecocktailclub.org/events

Wednesday took us to the Business Post ESG and Sustainable Business Summit in Croke Park, moderated by broadcaster Philip Boucher-Hayes, where BFBI was proud to take the stage on the dedicated Nature Panel, with Caroline Cawley joining Bob Hamilton, CEO of Irish Trees Ltd, (valued members of our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme), Dr Siobhan McQuaid of GoNaturePositive!, Horizon Nua, Trinity College Dublin and Stewart Gee, of Climate KIC, and keynote speaker Anne Reaney of Rebalance Earth, sharing insights on how businesses are moving to a nature-positive way of working. Our team, including Research & Tech Lead Dr Emer Ní Dhúill and myself were on hand to chat to delegates at our BFBI exhibition stand. Another day of great discussions, strong engagement, and plenty of follow-ups already in motion.

We wrapped up the week on Thursday, April 16th, as finalists at the ESG Business & Finance Awards 2026 in the Biodiversity Leadership in Business category for the second year in a row. While it wasn’t our day, congratulations to Coillte on a well-deserved win. And a big thank you to Chartered Accountants Ireland and our Chair Susan Rossney for the warm hospitality and great conversations.

 

Also a big thankyou to our funders National Parks & Wildlife Service and to our associates in KPMG Ireland Sustainable Futures, the National Biodiversity Data Centre, Business in the Community Ireland, Natural Capital Ireland and SustainabilityExamples.com – and to everyone who has been involved in supporting our work helping Irish businesses to integrate biodiversity into business strategy to date.

It’s weeks like this that act as a reminder of just how much momentum is building around bringing nature into the boardroom. So many brilliant people, conversations and ideas – all contributing to what can sometimes feel like an uphill climb but one that’s absolutely worth it.

A strong reminder that progress happens through collaboration, persistence and showing up – again and again.

Webinar: FIT Counts to Monitor Pollinators

, , ,

Our colleagues in the National Biodiversity Data Centre (NBDC), which co-ordinates the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, have a free ‘Lunch & Learn’ webinar coming up on April 1st, 12pm – FIT Counts to Monitor Pollinators in 10 minutes.

As flowers begin to bloom and more bumblebees and butterflies emerge, it’s the perfect time to get ready for the busy biodiversity recording season ahead. Whether completely new to recording or looking to build your skills, this webinar will give you everything you need to get started with 10-minute pollinator monitoring. Discover how you can play a vital role in monitoring bumblebees and butterflies on your business site, or anywhere you find a patch of flowers.

The session will cover how FIT Counts or Flower-Insect-Timed-Count surveys work, what data is collected and why it matters, how your FIT Counts contribute to understanding pollinator trends, and practical tips on how to recognise different insect groups.

  • Title: ‘FIT Counts: How to Monitor Pollinators in 10 minutes’
  • Speaker: Michelle Larkin – NBDC’s Pollinator Research Officer
  • Date: 1 April 2026, 12.00-13.00

How does this webinar apply to my business?
Flower-Insect-Timed-Counts (FIT Counts) is listed at Action 22 of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan’s Businesses: actions to help pollinators evidence-based guidelines. They are an easy, entry-level, scientifically robust way of tracking insect abundance as you make changes on your business site, in your garden, or through local community sponsorship, in line with the AIPP evidence-based actions.

How do we track easily if AIPP actions are working on-site?
  • Invite Biodiversity Champion(s), your Green Team, or colleagues to start submitting either monthly or weekly FIT Counts from 1 April through to 30 September.

BFBI at the EU Nature and Business Summit 2025

,

Business For Biodiversity Ireland attended the European Business & Nature Summit 2025 in Helsinki, Finland, on October 23 & 24, 2025, with our Head of Research Dr Emer Ní Dhúill joining a Business For Nature panel on ‘Embedding nature in your business strategy’ alongside Geoff Hamilton, Biodiversity Lead for BFBI Strategy Track members ESB. 

The event, supported by the EU Business For Biodiversity Platform and Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, brought together leaders from across Europe to discuss the integration of nature into business strategies, focusing on practical steps, collaboration, and the economic importance of protecting natural capital. BFBI was also represented at the event by Team BFBI members Dr Maria Fitzpatrick (Executive Director), Iseult Sheehy (Head of Operations) and Dr Catherine Farrell (our Business Programme Lead), with thanks to National Parks & Wildlife Service.

The Day 1 Business For Nature session also featured sustainability leaders Anni Vuohelainen (Director Nature, Tetra Pak), Hing Kin Lee, (Group Leead For Nature, NextEnergy Capital), Marie-Morgan Grebente (Nature & Biodiversity Lead, Decathlon), Holly Metcalfe (Manager, Roadmaps to Nature Positive, WBCSD), and Jesus Carrasco Narajo (Biodiversity Global Responsible, Iberdrola) with the panel chaired by Lizzy Elli (Global Engagement Lead, Business For Nature), the discussion covering the challenges facing businesses including gathering biodiversity data, and the need for support for businesses in navigating this evolving space.

“Nature literacy is quite a large barrier for businesses, also getting buy-in from the different parts of an organisation and a lack of expertise in the businesses to enable them to act…”Dr Emer Ní Dhúill, BFBI Head of Research.

“Inaction on biodiversity is the biggest risk. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Act and then change or iterate as more and better data becomes available.”- Geoff Hamilton, ESB

The biggest takeaway was that boosting biodiversity is an economic imperative, as stated by EC Director-General of Environment Eric Mamer in his opening remarks: “Protecting and restoring nature is a strategic economic choice. Europe must invest in what makes our economy resilient. Natural Capital is part and parcel of Europe’s competitiveness. Nature provides the Natural Capital that keeps our economy running.”

Collaboration Is Key
At the Plenary Session 3 panel discussion on Business action for Circular and Bioeconomy, Rolf Ladau, CEO, Paulig Group, emphasised: “You can only achieve a certain degree of change by yourself, to get beyond that you need to work with others. Collaboration is key…When it comes to securing a resilient food value chain in Europe we need to have a predictable regulatory environment…a functioning single market…and a clear, and long-term commitment.”

Heather Grabbe, Senior Fellow of Belgian think-tank Bruegel, commented on how extreme weather is clearly affecting markets, saying the best way to protect ourselves is a rapid move towards circularity while considering our supply and value chains here in Europe with a global lens. “There is an economic justice element – we need to consider the embedded environmental costs in the items we import and their negative impacts in other countries.

Jessika Roswall, Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy commented: “We need to focus on better regulation and move faster, which is hard in the democratic way that we work. We also need to explain to businesses, which we are sometimes not good at, why we are enacting regulation. We need to have a change of mindset – as politicians, as businesses and consumers.”

New documents launched

The summit also saw the launch of the ‘It’s Now For Nature Pulse’ – a new Business for Nature report reflecting progress in corporate nature strategies, two years on from the launch of It’s Now For Nature Handbook. It shows how businesses are integrating biodiversity into their strategy using the leading frameworks and science-based methods (as aligned with our BFBI Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme as the coalition’s Irish partners.)

BFBI also participated in the interactive session on Day 2 for the launch of ‘Policy Imperatives for a Competitive and Resilient Nature Positive Economy’ a publication in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin and the European Commission, in conjunction with the Directorate-General for Research and Innovative Horizon Europe and Invest4Nature, to show how embedding nature into policy can secure Europe’s resilience and prosperity through strategic investment, coherent regulation, empowered local engagement and systemic reform. Geoff and our team also joined breakout discussion tables, pictured below, on ‘Navigating policy & stakeholder complexity.”

Horizon Nua Director Siobhan McQuaid moderated the discussion on ‘Rationale and roadblocks for business transformation to nature positive’ while launching the TF3 EC Expert publication which features new research and case studies from over 40 EU-funded projects.  Co-authored by Siobhan and Horizon Nua EU Project Manager Martina Brophy, it sets out both the reasons and challenges for nature-positive transformation from a business and policy perspective. Access the new publication HERE.

The lively two days of discussion and networking rounded off with a dialogue by EU Commission Director of Biodiversity Humberto Delgado Rosa. EBNS2025 was streamed live –  you can watch the recordings HERE.

Business For Biodiversity Ireland is here to support Irish businesses to meet the challenges of boosting resilience through nature action.
