Nature is a strategic management issue that finance teams need to understand to achieve business success.
- All businesses depend on or have impacts on nature, or both, somewhere in their value chain.
- This creates both risks and opportunities for them and their investors.
- Managing these risks and opportunities can reduce costs and enhance revenues, access to finance, competitiveness, enterprise value and long-term resilience.
- Finance teams play a central role in enabling businesses to respond.
- Integrating nature into core accounting and finance processes can support decision-making across business functions and build resilient business strategies.
