Resource description:

This webpage emphasizes the crucial role of businesses in fostering a nature-positive world by 2030, highlighting that all enterprises depend on nature's resources and services, which are currently under severe threat. The page outlines key, high-level actions for businesses, structured around four essential pillars:

  • Assess: Businesses must measure and prioritise their impacts on, and dependencies on, nature, conducting comprehensive materiality assessments across their entire value chains.
  • Commit: Companies need to establish clear, time-bound, and science-based targets aligned with the Global Biodiversity Framework to actively halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
  • Transform: This involves fundamentally changing business practices to avoid and reduce negative impacts, restore degraded ecosystems, shift strategies towards sustainability, and advocate for ambitious nature-positive policies.
  • Disclose: Businesses are urged to publicly report nature-related information, seek independent validation of their efforts, and align with recognized reporting standards such as TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures).

The webpage underscores the importance of collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement in these efforts to develop and implement effective nature strategies.
