Why companies should commit to protecting biodiversity

What is biodiversity and how can it represent a competitive advantage for companies?

Biodiversity represents the “living” natural capital that enables essential ecosystem functions for the global economy: from soil fertility to water regulation and quality, through pollination, biological control of parasites and the stabilization of the territory against extreme events. Even for businesses, biodiversity is a crucial issue. Protecting it is not only a reputational issue, but it is being transformed into a set of measurable dynamics that define the very resilience of the business.

Integrating biodiversity into business strategy is not a simple exercise in mitigating damage, but a concrete opportunity to generate value in the long term. In a market that is increasingly attentive to the health of natural capital, a company that chooses to move proactively transforms environmental protection into a differentiating lever, obtaining tangible advantages on several levels. Let's see what they are.
‍

• Resilience and business continuity: acting on biodiversity means gaining stability and protection against climate shocks, drastically reducing the risk of regulatory non-compliance and ensuring security of supply.
  Access to capital: banks and investors are increasingly demanding nature-related evidence; positioning themselves correctly today facilitates access to finance and improves the ESG rating.
  ‍‍
• Stakeholder trust and reputation: an authentic commitment strengthens the bond with consumers and increases the brand's attractiveness to new talents, for whom sustainability is now an integral part of the corporate identity.
