The Biospheric Index: Quantifying Net-Nature-Positivity.
And now? How do you manage & change what you cannot measure?
While many recognize nature positivity has a vital role in our economic fabric, there's still a significant gap between acknowledgement and action.
Without robust, standardised metrics, effective management and transformation to Net-Nature-Positive impacts are virtually impossible. We cannot manage what we cannot measure. We cannot change what we cannot measure.
Picture a business landscape where enhancing biodiversity is an integral part of profitability and viewed as a valuable investment.
