New guide urges firms to integrate nature into strategy and seize ‘first mover advantage’
"Boards that fail to recognise this are exposing themselves to significant financial and strategic risk.”
In their new guide on placing nature on the board agenda, the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP) and the Aldersgate Group argue that nature restoration is a growth story – and that businesses that act now will benefit from a “first mover advantage”.
Addressed to the boards of UK businesses, the guide offers advice on how to understand nature impacts and dependencies, set credible and ambitious targets and strategies, incorporate nature into business strategy and operations, invest in the right skills and capacity building, and align investments to support positive nature outcomes.
