How is your company responding to the risks and opportunities associated with the growing vulnerability of supplies provided by nature, services such as water, land, biomass and climate regulation?

Recent research on the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) have highlighted the value of ecosystems under threat, systems that provide essential services estimated at up to US$ 72 trillion per year.

This workshop will introduce how business and political leaders address resource scarcity risks and develop resource efficient business models that are focusing the attention to emerging opportunities.

Global business opportunities in natural resources could be a potential market in the range of US$2–6 trillion by 2050.

Leading corporations are experimenting with carbon footprinting, water footprinting and other accounting tools to take stock of their impact and dependence on basic services that nature provides them with.

This workshop will show you how to apply the green business model and turn it into a factor of competitive advantage, linked with core financial value drivers. It will feature examples of green business innovation from sport lifestyle company PUMA, mining giant Rio Tinto, electronics company Sony and further leading corporations providing you with tools to start or step-change your journey.
