August Monthly Briefing:Foregrounding Natural Footprints Our views on what matters |
|
This August edition of the Monthly Briefing is packed with wake-up calls, inspiring examples and gold-dust insights.
Our leading story explores the intersection of nature and equity. It zooms into clear ways that businesses across industries can leverage to deliver nature-positive solutions that advance key strategic goals, while promoting equity, inclusion and justice.
Our side stories cover killing figures on the cost and consequences of delaying action to protect biodiversity, leading examples of business holistic commitments to be net-positive contributors to nature, as well as reflections on the new tools government and business now have at hand to end biodiversity loss.
Have you considered how to unlock the ESG value already present within your business, through understanding natural capital? Our insightful article explores how businesses that will be in the strongest position, will have developed a natural capital approach to understand and articulate their relationship and interaction with all environmental factors, and the detailed strategy they are taking to ensure a positive impact.
Absolutely unmissable is our interview with Keyvan Macedo, Sustainability Director at Natura &Co. Macedo covers the origins of the business, challenges it faces, explores why none of the UN’s 2020 biodiversity goals was met, and how we need to place sufficient value on the ecosystem services that nature provides to humankind. As a bonus, Macedo shares some of Natura &Co’s inspiring initiatives.
If the 2010s were the wake-up decade on climate action, are the 2020s bringing the much-needed global realisation that we have only one planet, that we are irreversibly destroying it, and that businesses have a massive role to play? |
