Event Details

Second of 3 free webinars offered by the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business aimed at small and medium sized businesses who are curious about nature and biodiversity links to business activity, and want to gain sufficient knowledge to be able to move forward in their business planning.

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.

This is one of a series of three which webinars come on the back of findings from two surveys undertaken in 2022 and 2024 of British senior business decision makers to find out how they think about, or are seeking to integrate nature and biodiversity, into their business activities. You can find out more about the survey results on our website. [hotlink when page is published]. All businesses (no matter how mature your thinking is around nature and biodiversity) are encouraged to read it. The report contains information on the differences between nature and biodiversity, why both dependencies and impacts are relevant, and introduces some tools and frameworks that can be used.

Each webinar addresses key aspects of the links between business, nature and biodiversity, and is offered at two different times on each date to increase the probability of their being a time to suit you.
