Placing Nature on the Board Agenda: A guide to incorporating nature into your business

A new guide for UK business, Placing Nature on the Board Agenda, supports efforts to incorporate nature into business strategy and warns that environmental degradation now poses material risks to business resilience, financial performance and long-term value creation.

The guide follows the release of The Boardroom Briefing on Nature, discussion paper and resources from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (Defra), which urges UK businesses to unlock millions of pounds in saving and new growth opportunities by putting nature at the heart of boardroom decisions.

Placing Nature on the Board Agenda highlights how all businesses depend fundamentally on nature – from clean air and water to healthy soils and biodiversity – and putting nature on the board agenda was a financial, operational, regulatory and strategic imperative.
