As awareness about the importance of preserving biodiversity and natural resources grows, nature-positive governance is becoming increasingly critical for businesses. Join us on 8 October as we delve into the TNFD framework, examine the readiness of the tech sector for mandatory nature-related disclosures, and explore practical strategies for integrating nature into corporate governance.
What to expect from the webinar?
Topics discussed will include:
- How does TNFD apply to the tech sector, and what existing guidance can tech companies use?
- How ready are tech companies for mandatory nature-related disclosures?
- How can companies assess and understand their current impact on nature?
- What strategies can be used to integrate nature into corporate governance practices?
- How can you engage the board and secure buy-in for nature-positive initiatives?
- How can sustainability professionals transition from a climate-focused to a nature-inclusive role?
Who should attend?
We particularly encourage sustainability professionals and government organisations to join the webinar.
