Nature and biodiversity
The prosperity of all life on our planet, including human societies, thrives when nature is resilient. By nurturing and protecting natural ecosystems, we can enhance societal security, create opportunities for businesses and investors, and strengthen our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Moving beyond carbon
Half of global GDP is dependent on nature (WEF). Disruptions to the Earth’s ecosystems could affect our current way of life. Additionally, standard-setting bodies are urging companies towards more comprehensive environmental accountability by incorporating nature considerations into regulations.
Therefore, businesses have an important role to play in protecting nature.
The time to act is now
Only 5% of organisations have assessed their environmental impact and fewer than 1% have evaluated their dependency on nature. This impedes strategic management and the prioritisation of environmental measures.
Deloitte can help you achieve your environmental goals. Our consultants are skilled in identifying environmentally friendly solutions and evaluating impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunitie across the entire value chain. We could support you in:
- Building and implementing the systems required to mitigate the risks associated with our reliance on nature.
- Developing nature-based solutions.
- Leveraging financial flows to natural capital through emerging or expanding markets and new financial products.
- Preparing comprehensive reports on double materiality concerning nature while ensuring regulatory compliance.
