🌽 By understanding and managing businesses’ impacts and dependencies, businesses can reduce risks and deliver positive outcomes for both business and biodiversity. To avoid greenwashing, it is essential that businesses develop transparent and credible strategies. IPBES #BizBiodiversity Asssessment

Text: "All businesses have a responsibility to address their impacts and dependencies on nature." Supporting text states that: “There are many actions that businesses, including financial institutions, can take now to benefit businesses and biodiversity. The level of responsibility of individual businesses to act is a societal decision that can be informed by the scale of their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem services.“
