Am 4. März 2025 von Barbara Dubach auf LinkedIn gepostet (im Original auf Englisch):
Companies have only 5 years to align with the UN’s Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Yet, most aren’t moving fast enough. A recent study from engageability, in collaboration with Enfinit in Switzerland and FUNDES in Latin America, exposes a major disconnect:
In Switzerland:
→ 54% of companies recognize nature as a material topic.
→ But only 26% explicitly address biodiversity.
In Latin America:
→ 58% acknowledge nature.
→ Yet just 36% consider biodiversity a key issue.
Why should these numbers be a concern for companies?
Because biodiversity supports ecosystem resilience, stabilizes supply chains, and protects long-term profitability. When biodiversity collapses, industries feel it first—through supply chain breakdowns, resource shortages, and financial losses. And we’re already seeing the impact:
- Floods, droughts, and environmental damage are making key resources harder to access.
- Those ignoring biodiversity today are exposing themselves to long-term financial instability.
- Some companies are watching their stock prices drop as supply chains get hit by climate and nature-related disruptions.
Here’re the actions steps companies must take to reduce biodiversity disruptions:
✅ Assess biodiversity risks and impacts across operations.
✅ Commit to smart and impact-oriented targets in alignment with TNFD and GBF.
✅ Transform business models with nature-positive solutions for example from I4N
✅ Disclose and increase transparency and drive collective action.
At engageability , we help companies do all of the above. And at Innovate 4 Nature we create the solutions to transform business models or value chains. Has your company already taken these action steps? If not yet, send me a message. Our network of sustainability experts can support you in identifying biodiversity risks in your value chain and help you secure them.
