Biodiversity loss and deforestation – Managing Nature Risks in your Business
Biodiversity and nature are becoming increasingly important areas of focus for business, and this is being reinforced with policy and law, and with a range of voluntary initiatives. There is a lot of terminology around this area, such as natural capital, ecosystem services, nature positive, nature risk, etc which can be difficult to interpret and navigate for business. Davy Horizons were recently joined by Professor Jane Stout and Roel Nozeman to discuss biodiversity and nature and how these translate to the corporate environment. In the discussion they focus on how business can incorporate biodiversity and nature risks and opportunities, and what this looks like in practice.
