The biodiversity shift
With The Biodiversity Shift, you put nature restoration and conservation on your corporate agenda, right at the heart of your activities. Step by step, we help you shift gears through our insights, collaboration and advocacy for a nature-inclusive economy.
Objectives
Putting biodiversity at the heart of companies in Belgium and turning nature-positive business into the new normal.
What?
Our programme is built on three pillars, allowing us to best respond to the needs and maturity levels of every organisation.
1. Follow our quarterly inspiration sessions and get the latest insights.
Going beyond theory.
Are you new to the biodiversity topic? These sessions will help you get up to speed.
Navigate the latest regulations, see the impact of biodiversity on your operations, explore other companies and see how they convince their boards.
Check out the upcoming events here.
2. Get working in the community of practice.
Collaborate with unexpected partners.
Is your company looking to take structural steps in becoming nature-positive?
Develop and implement a nature strategy for your business in line with global standards, with peers from other sectors and biodiversity experts.
3. Become an advocate for nature.
Your voice in the media and in politics.
Does your company have its nature strategy published on It's Now for Nature and are you looking to get more organisations as well as governments on board as well?
Pionneers lead the way and show that biodiversity and business go hand in hand. They present their vision to the media and politicians and get other entrepreneurs on board.
Why?
Nature: it’s everyone’s business
While the unprecedented decline of our biodiversity is weighing on the economy, a vibrant network of businesses is breathing new life into our ecosystem. They understand that strong nature means a strong business. A healthy ecosystem delivers crucial services: clean water for core activities, fertile soils and pollination for a profitable harvest, a buffer against flooding, and resources for pharma and biotech activities. “Nature works for us, so we need to work better together.”
The Biodiversity Shift brings together the expertise of leading businesses in a new programme that will help your company take structured steps towards a more sustainable future.
