Biodiversity disclosures have doubled among US-listed companies
Companies may also hope to offset some of their biodiversity impacts through nature-based carbon credits – but co-benefits are not guaranteed.
One-third of companies in the S&P 500 and 13% of Russell 3000 firms made biodiversity disclosures in 2022 – roughly double the rate observed the year before.
Companies listed on US stock exchanges appear to be ramping up their work on biodiversity and nature conservation: 170 of the largest companies listed in the country reported on their biodiversity policy in 2022 – that’s 34% of the S&P 500 index.
