Business and the biodiversity challengeA study of actions among the Fortune Global 50 companies |
Businesses are critically dependent on ecosystem services, which are in widespread decline because of biodiversity losses. How are companies responding to the challenge of biodiversity loss, which is a fundamental threat to business and to society? And how are companies communicating publicly about their actions and commitments on biodiversity? A recent study by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and Deloitte France, on biodiversity management among the Fortune Global 50 companies, suggests that a large majority of the Fortune Global 50 companies are communicating publicly about their biodiversity initiatives. And most of the 50 companies report they are taking action to manage biodiversity impacts.
