Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things on Earth — the diversity of species, genetic variations within species, and the ecosystems they form. Business operations depend on and impact biodiversity.
Why It Matters for Business
- Ecosystem services (pollination, water filtration) worth trillions annually
- Supply chain risks from habitat loss and species decline
- Growing regulatory and investor focus (TNFD framework)
- Reputational risks from environmental damage
