This paper reviews the drivers and current practice around business measurement, reporting and disclosure on biodiversity, investigates the role of these approaches in future business disclosure for informing global policy targets and recommends several key actions required to scale up these efforts. It is intended to brief policymakers on the current status of business biodiversity measurement and reporting and is based on a limited literature review and discussions with government representatives in Brazil, China, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

Accelerating the Transition to a Sustainable Economy in a Post-Covid World: What has changed, what have we learned, and what can business do now?

The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)
The landscape of business has been radically transformed. Discussions about business action on sustainability are now taking place against a COVID-shaped backdrop of geopolitical and economic shifts, growing – and increasingly visible – inequality, heightened awareness of systemic flaws and human vulnerability, and societal fractures and polarisation. In addition, many businesses are operating in regions with high levels of government, corporate and private debt and growing levels of unemployment. CISL invited close friends, Senior Associates and Fellows to a series of conversations to explore the implications of these challenges and transformations for business action on sustainability. This report provides an overview of the key insights that emerged from these discussions.
