The Next Frontier of Sustainability: Nature, Biodiversity, and Business Resilience

This panel shifts the sustainability focus from climate change to the equally critical issue of nature and biodiversity loss. The panellists will explore how corporate activities impact ecosystems and why preserving natural capital is essential for business resilience and long-term stability. Panellists will share practical strategies for companies to measure and value their biodiversity impact, implement circular economy models, and adopt nature-based solutions that mitigate environmental risks. The discussion will also introduce emerging frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), which guide businesses in identifying and managing nature-related risks and opportunities. 

Attendees will gain insights into the growing field of investment in biodiversity, including innovative mechanisms like biodiversity credits that align financial value with ecological restoration. The session will highlight how a proactive approach to nature stewardship can not only reduce operational and supply chain risks but also drive innovation, attract sustainable investment, and build more resilient business models for the future.
