Momentum is building for companies to report on biodiversity and ecosystem risks and opportunities. The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is working on a new biodiversity-related standard, while the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has already revised its biodiversity standard. As corporate reporting enters a significant new era, with some jurisdictions already adopting advanced disclosures, this session explores the current landscape of nature reporting. Join the session to learn about emerging trends, best practice, and practical advice for businesses.

In this webinar we look at:

  • an introduction to nature-related reporting
  • the role of accountants in nature-related reporting
  • insights from research on biodiversity disclosure
  • practical examples of nature-related reporting
  • implementation of sustainability standards in Nigeria.
