By fostering peer learning, sharing best practices, and driving collaborative commitments, the platform will empower businesses to prioritise biodiversity and achieve meaningful, measurable impact. How? By integrating strong management strategies into their operations, leveraging their assets, and responding to the increasing need for sustainable and responsible business practices.
The Biodiversity Platform is now open to both CSR Europe members and non-members who are interested in improving their biodiversity management. Contact us to learn more about the benefits of this initiative.
The long-term mission of the platform is two-fold:
Strengthening Local Biodiversity Programmes
Unlock the biodiversity potential of operational sites by enhancing local programmes, working towards a certification to be developed in partnership with stakeholders of the Platform (Working Group A).
Making the Business Case for Biodiversity
Develop compelling narratives and business cases for boards and senior management by refining biodiversity materiality analyses and identifying strategies to effectively integrate biodiversity considerations into business operations (Working Group B).
For the 2025 activity plan, the Platform’s partners will focus on the following priorities:
Establishing and defining criteria for high-quality on-site biodiversity programmes, supported by a collaborative learning and sharing approach for implementation.
Crafting effective narratives to engage and influence senior management.
Developing profitable biodiversity business cases to appeal to boards and investors, linking biodiversity management to tangible business benefits.
Effective biodiversity management can enhance your brand reputation, drive innovation, and unlock access to new markets, providing a significant competitive edge. Prioritising biodiversity also enables businesses to mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and strengthen resilience across their operations and supply chains.
