The new white paper from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation highlights how the circular economy can be a key enabler to deliver on the Global Biodiversity Framework. 👉 Over 90% of land biodiversity loss is linked to the way we produce and consume. Changing this model requires embedding circular strategies across high-impact sectors such as agriculture, food, and construction. The report sets out policy recommendations and shows how these solutions can create economic value while regenerating ecosystems. A valuable resource for policymakers, sustainability leaders, and businesses driving circular change.

Is biodiversity the risk that your business isn’t tracking? 🚩 Challenge Biodiversity is emerging as a core strategic issue for businesses as its loss poses tangible risks across all sectors, including operational and supply chain disruptions, reputation and compliance risks, and financial exposure. On the other hand, proactively integrating biodiversity creates significant business value such as resilience and growth, stakeholder alignment and regulatory readiness. 💡 Insight According to the @UNEP, “With over half of the world’s GDP dependent on nature, it’s clear that economic stability is closely tied to ecosystem health.” This significantly increases the pressure for businesses to take action as part of their corporate sustainability strategies to ensure that we collectively address the causes of biodiversity loss. 🛟 Solution To effectively understand and manage biodiversity impacts, companies should map their value chain using an IDRO (Impacts, Dependencies, Risks, Opportunities) assessment, prior to measuring their biodiversity impact, to understand where to begin. This approach enables organizations to identify areas of significant biodiversity impact, develop targeted mitigation strategies, improve their ESG ratings, and maintain access to capital.

Regional governments are on the frontline of climate risks, but they can’t do it alone. The private sector, especially SMEs, has the power to drive adaptation, powering everything from land restoration to circular economies and climate-proof jobs. To fix the problem, Regions Adapt, coordinated by Race to Resilience Partner, Regions4, has set out a roadmap for how subnationals can create the conditions for businesses to step in and step up. Momentum is building across the world: Brazil (Goiás) – businesses and government restoring 10,000 ha of degraded land, reviving springs vital for water security. Brazil (Mata Atlântica) – farmers paid by companies to restore native forest, linking livelihoods with conservation. Brazil (Minas Gerais) – 500,000 ha of preserved land mapped with industry backing to guide sustainable land use. Italy (Lombardy) – SMEs funded to adopt circular practices and hire energy managers. Spain (Catalonia) – €100m (US$107m) credit from the European Investment Bank fuelling green SMEs. South Australia – partnerships pushing regenerative agriculture, climate-resilient aquaculture, and methane-cutting seaweed for livestock. Nigeria (Cross River) – ₦1bn (US$670k) matching fund with SMEDAN boosting women- and youth-led SMEs.

Biodiversity is taking center stage in sustainability reporting. With CSRD requirements expanding, companies will need to map their interactions with ecosystems, set measurable goals, and integrate nature-related data into ESG disclosures.

Biodiversity Loss Risk Management: ISO 17298 is a practical roadmap with tools and clear steps for the implementation of a Biodiversity Action Plan. "Be kind to locals" referring to our natural resources in nature. As Industry we have to take action now to protect our Biodiversity Wealth for Future Generations.
