Welcome to the Discovery Track.

The Discovery Track is the first step to the Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme and is all about broadening your understanding of the biodiversity crisis and the context of your business or sector.

We’ll introduce you to the ACT-D framework, a logical approach to assessing your nature-related issues and creating a nature strategy. This aligns with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

We will also cover other relevant themes via 10 handy lessons – how to make the business case for nature in your organisation and emerging biodiversity topics and policies as they relate to Irish business. You can access a library of Resources and a series of Webinars. You can stay on the Discovery Track for as long as you need and there will be no fee.

Once you level up from the Discovery Track, an annual fee will be applicable. Fees for tracks 2,3 and 4 are aligned with grants available from Enterprise Ireland and more. Fees are paid annually and grant-writing support is available. The annual fee is the same, regardless of the track (2, 3 or 4) that you sit in and you can move through these tracks at your own pace. For progression along our paid tracks, get in touch with us at manager@businessforbiodiversity.ie – we’ll conduct a quick readiness assessment to determine which is the most appropriate track for you to join.

When you level up to the Action Track, it’s a more hands-on approach. It’s your opportunity to join in-person workshops alongside a cohort of sustainability-conscious businesses for networking and peer-to-peer learning, as we guide you through the process of assessing your organisation’s nature-related DIROs – Dependencies, Impacts, Risks and Opportunities. We will help you to conduct a high-level materiality assessment which will help you to prioritise your efforts and align your nature ambition with your climate and social goals.

The output of the Action Track is a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), and it’s the key to progressing to the Track 3: Strategy.

Credible, robust, impactful. The Strategy Track will get you there.

Once you’ve unlocked the door with your Double Materiality Assessment, the Strategy Track awaits. Join a cohort of leading, like-minded businesses, at a similar stage in their journey, to learn from each other and define your nature ambition.

Output: You’ll create a nature strategy for your organisation and set science-based targets that will deliver positive outcomes for people, planet and nature.
