Incorporating Biodiversity into Sustainability Reporting

Over the past several years, biodiversity has become a topic of greater concern for businesses globally – and for good reason. Research and reporting from local and country-level governments, non-profit organizations, universities, corporations, and investor organizations show clear and precipitous patterns of decline across a variety of biodiversity metrics. Many businesses have largely unexplored interactions between their economic activities and biodiversity, and this leaves companies both unaware of their potential impacts as well as potentially exposed to biodiversity-related risks.

G&A has created an introductory overview of frameworks and tools available to businesses looking to incorporate biodiversity matters into their sustainability strategies and reporting practices. We include details about the most prominent reporting frameworks, how companies can begin the process of assessing biodiversity dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities, available tools and resources, and information on biodiversity certifications and credits.

This resource paper is intended to serve as a starting point for companies interested in the current landscape of biodiversity reporting, offering both clarity and direction in a complex and rapidly evolving landscape. It aims to empower companies to take meaningful first steps toward integrating biodiversity into their sustainability agendas with confidence and purpose.
