Short extract:

Nat­ural cap­i­tal impacts and depen­den­cies are too com­pli­cated to understand.

As part of the Platform’s ‘Doing Busi­ness with Nature’ project, mem­ber com­pa­nies col­lab­o­rated to develop an info­graphic that show­cases how water, bio­di­ver­sity and soil chal­lenges relate to busi­ness oper­a­tions, reg­u­la­tions, rep­u­ta­tions and markets.

This sim­ple, business-ready media helps artic­u­late depen­den­cies and risks related to nat­ural cap­i­tal and the impacts on busi­ness inter­ests. Our aim is to build con­sen­sus around the mate­ri­al­ity of nat­ural cap­i­tal and to make nat­ural cap­i­tal a busi­ness priority.
