Part 1 highlights why companies need to tackle the biodiversity topic
Parts 2 and 3 explain how to do it (impact and dependencies)
Part 4 is a specific example for companies in the mining and metals sector
Part 5 indicates shortly the role of the finance world to preserve biodiversity
Either for ethical reasons or business ones, companies have to tackle the biodiversity collapse issue and take actions on it as it is a major risk to them
The first step is to measure the impact they have on biodiversity, as well their dependencies to biodiversity ecosystem services (double materiality)
The planetary boundary of biodiversity is by far exceeded at the age of anthropocene and the 6th mass extinction (the first one caused by one species that is even aware of it!)
Technological solutions and known techniques alone will not be enough and might even exacerbate biodiversity collapse (e.g. mutation of problems). A new paradigm is needed including in particular sufficiency. A systemic vision is also required. The finance world has a key role to play
Companies will then have to find their place in this new world and define a new way of doing business. Up to us to invent this new world :)
