Our services in biodiversity management for your company
Understanding dependencies, minimizing risks, and seizing opportunities
Biodiversity is the web of life: it enables fertile soils, clean water, a stable climate, and the provision of natural resources. Intact, resilient ecosystems thus secure our livelihoods and at the same time form the basis of a stable economy.
More than half of global economic output is moderately to heavily dependent on functioning ecosystems. At the same time, every company is dependent on biodiversity – directly or indirectly and to varying degrees. Biodiversity is therefore not a marginal issue of environmental protection, but a strategic factor for the resilience, innovative capacity, and future security of companies.
Nevertheless, biodiversity loss is continuing worldwide and is increasingly affecting supply chains, locations, and business models. Companies that analyze and manage nature-related dependencies and risks at an early stage increase their planning security, improve their risk management, and secure long-term competitive advantages.
What does biodiversity mean?
Biodiversity describes the diversity of life on Earth. It comprises three levels:
High biological diversity strengthens the stability and adaptability of ecosystems. It ensures that ecological processes function and that important ecosystem services are maintained in the long term.
Why is biodiversity relevant for companies?
Companies are dependent on functioning ecosystems in many ways, sometimes along their entire value chain.
- Raw materials and agricultural products
- Water availability and quality
- Soil fertility
- Pollination services
- Climate regulation
- Resilient supply chains
- Stable location conditions
In addition to physical risks from biodiversity loss, companies also face transition risks from regulatory requirements, market changes, and rising expectations from investors, customers, and financial institutions.
A systematic analysis of nature-related dependencies and impacts forms the basis for understanding risks, setting priorities, and developing targeted measures within the company.
