The F&B Community gathered in September during an online workshop to make progress in defining and assessing positive impact on biodiversity.

Approach and challenges

During the workshop, speakers from Planet A Ventures, eco.business Fund, Investisseurs & Partenairs (I&P), and Fund Nature pitched their approach and key challenges in defining and measuring positive impact on biodiversity.

Expert insights

Miriam van Gool, representing the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF), provided insight into the importance of location-based impact assessments, and Johan Lammerant from the Methods Workstream of the European Business & Biodiversity Platform shared a new framework for 'Nature Positive Business'. These insights were well received and provide guidance for members of the F&B Community to continue exploring this theme.

Simplify regulations

The workshop was the second in a series of three. The first The workshop took place in June. In the third and final workshop, members of the F&B Community and policymakers will come together to engage in dialogue on appropriate regulations and policies that will encourage the financial sector to have a positive impact on biodiversity.
