10 years ago, biodiversity was not a topic of concern for business leaders. Today, it’s understood that almost all organizations interact closely with biodiversity, directly or indirectly.
These interactions yield a grave risk to the environment, but also powerful opportunities to build more resilient and nature-friendly businesses. Expectations are mounting from both customers and regulators: how can you integrate biodiversity into your decision-making and contribute to a ‘positive nature’ transformation of the economy?
Along with decarbonization, biodiversity is a critical part of BearingPoint’s holistic approach to environmental consulting. We now lead the way in biodiversity, in part thanks to the acquisition of the renowned sustainability expertise consultancy I Care. We help you measure your biodiversity footprint (both qualitatively and quantitatively), set realistic future targets and build the initiatives needed to reach them. In doing so we align closely with the Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN), both developing and challenging this methodology. Through innovative tools and engagement frameworks we help you take ownership of the topic and embed it within your corporate strategy.
