Join us to understand why nature matters to business and what actions you can take as a business to be successful alongside a thriving natural world. These three free webinars follow recommendations that came out of surveys with British business leaders in 2022 & 2024. Each one takes place twice on each date, once at 08:00-09:00 UTC and once at 16:00-17:00 UTC to make it easier for you to find a time that suits you.
Your facilitators for the webinars are:
Director of the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business
Research Associate in Business and Biodiversity, the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business
In this webinar a natural science introduction to nature, biodiversity and eco-systems will be provided, along with an explanation of how those aspects impact upon business operations. The ways in which business may depend upon nature and the ways business impacts on nature will be outlined using examples from different industry sectors.
In this webinar, we will explain the purpose and distinctive approaches of various tools and frameworks that may support decision making for nature, and / or provide a structure for communicating outcomes to relevant audiences. The various tools and frameworks include Natural Capital Protocol, and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). Reporting using the TNFD framework is unlikely to be realistic for many companies, but the framework provides a way of thinking about nature. Central to all approaches is the way in which a business identifies what is relevant for their focus.
In this seminar we will provide examples of what 'good' reporting looks like, drawn from across the globe and across all types of business activities.
