Wereldwijd assessment laat zien: betere samenwerking tussen bedrijven en natuur is noodzakelijk én mogelijk
Vandaag stelden meer dan 150 landen het IPBES Business & Biodiversity Assessment vast: een rapport met wetenschappelijk onderbouwde methoden waarmee bedrijven hun impact op – en hun afhankelijkheid van – biodiversiteit in beeld kunnen brengen. De boodschap is helder: samenwerken met de natuur is niet optioneel, maar noodzakelijk. Voor het imago van een bedrijf en voor de corebusiness.
