Biodiversity preservation

1. Try to avoid any interference with


biodiversity

2. Where avoiding interference is


impossible: reduce the negative
impact

3. Compensate for such impact by


restoring ecosystems or supporting
their natural regeneration.

Biodiversity footprint
management
- Adopting biodiversity-safe operating standards
- Setting sourcing standards and supporting suppliers in
meeting them
- Embracing biodiversity-positive land use
- Driving ecosystem restoration and regeneration

Examples:
• Luxury brand company Kering supports suppliers through its South
Gobi Cashmere Project to preserve rangeland biodiversity in
Mongolia.
• Veracel, an operation of forestry company Stora Enso in Brazil,
deploys comprehensive biodiversity management practices,
Biodiversity-friendly
innovation
- Develop products and services that cause less
ecosystem disruption
- Depend less on natural resources
- Facilitate the natural development of ecosystems.

Examples:
• Packaging companies are developing new biodegradable
products
• Fashion players are studying how to phase out the use of
toxic materials and mitigate the volume of microfibers that
find their way into natural ecosystems.
Advanced biodiversity
support
- Assuming a stewardship role for specific
landscapes and seascapes
- Sharing knowledge and data
- Driving collective action

Examples:
• Marks & Spencer has worked with the WWF and a broad
range of stakeholders to address water scarcity and drive
sustainable strawberry farming in Spain.
• Companies from different industries have united in the UK
Plastics Pact to raise awareness of the environmental
impact of plastic waste and to promote a more circular
plastic economy.

Group Work & Feedback

For your Group Project company, 3 x 20 minutes group work


:
1. What are the company targets to reduce their negative impact in terms
of climate change and biodiversity ?
2. How do you assess their reporting and targets? Does anything seem to
be biased, underestimated, misleading? (Focus today : Biodiversity)
3. What 7 – 10 initiatives could (or is) your company take to
preserve biodiversity ?
Group Work & Feedback

reporting and ambitions of your case company (the 5 +5 document analysis), to

climate change and biodiversity ?
2. How do you assess their reporting and targets? Does anything seem to be
biased, underestimated, misleading? (Including Biodiversity)
3. What is the gap between the current situation, the company’s objectives, and
what would need to be done to comply with the climate change and
biodiversity loss planetary boundaries? How could/should the company act to
close the gap and further reduce its negative impact?
