The impacts and risks associated with nature and biodiversity have never been more crucial for business to address. Yet, nature is a complex topic and has lots of overlaps with other sustainability areas, making knowing where to start and what to focus on difficult.

Please join us for an immersive session to get an overview of the global frameworks and regulations shaping business’ engagement with nature and biodiversity, hear real-world corporate examples and best practices, as well as work together with other companies and BSR experts on an actionable template to begin developing your own nature strategy in the room and bring it back to your company. If you would like to join the workshop but you are not a BSR member, send a request to web@bsr.org.

Please note that participants online will not have access to the workshop part of the event.
