Extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse pose risks to all companies. These risks can take many forms, from workforce health impacts and supply chain disruptions to scarcity and increased costs of critical natural resources.
The benefits of taking a proactive approach to climate and nature are clear. Companies that address these challenges head-on are equipped to ensure business continuity in a resource-constrained world, are more prepared to comply with evolving regulatory frameworks, and can leverage the massive opportunity of the energy and nature-positive transition.
When companies collaborate on these issues, between internal functions and stakeholders, and across value chains, their impact multiplies, strengthening resilience and creating positive systemic change for people and the planet.
