Investors, regulators, and other societal stakeholders increasingly expect companies to contribute to the implementation of global goals to protect and restore nature. Beyond regulatory compliance, however, the transition to nature-positive business models creates significant benefits for early movers, including by mitigating the financial risks associated with the ongoing loss of biodiversity and ecosystems.
In this lunch seminar, we will explore how this transition can be accelerated by the growing availability of high-quality data on the state of biodiversity and on the impacts that companies have on nature due to their operations and along their value chains. Building on the recent KPMG report Making Nature Visible, we will particularly discuss the critical role of digital innovations in helping businesses meet regulatory requirements, manage their nature-related impacts, develop ambitious biodiversity strategies, and align with increasingly demanding sustainability reporting frameworks.
This event will also offer an opportunity to reflect on the main outcomes of the 16th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversityopens in a new tab (which is expected to conclude in February with an additional round of negotiations in Rome) and their implications for companies.
Warm welcome!
