Ever wondered how to give Nature a voice in your organization? Business activities impact and depend on the state of nature. Six out of nine planetary boundaries have been breached. Yet, most companies don’t take the interests of nature into account in their business decisions. In response to these and other motivators, Nature should be recognized as a stakeholder with nature-inclusive governance. By onboarding nature, companies can make better, nature-informed decisions, fulfil ESG obligations and directors’ duties, and enhance the authenticity and impact of their sustainability strategy. Join this session to learn why it is inspiring and beneficial to onboard Nature as a stakeholder, how Nature can be onboarded by using four different models, and what steps to take in onboarding Nature at your own company.
