The authors review a range of practical tools to manage biodiversity risks in business, with examples of how companies are using these tools to reduce costs, protect their brands and deliver real business value. The book also explores the emergence of new business models that deliver biodiversity benefits and ecosystem services on a commercial basis, the policy enabling frameworks needed to stimulate investment and entrepreneurship to realize such opportunities, and the obstacles that must be overcome. The book further examines how businesses can align their actions in relation to biodiversity and ecosystem services with other corporate responsibility initiatives, including community engagement and poverty reduction. Finally, the book concludes with a summary and recommendations for action.This book reviews indicators and drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystem decline, and shows how these present both risks and opportunities to all businesses. It examines the changing preferences of consumers for nature-friendly products and services, and offers examples of how companies are responding. The book also describes recent initiatives to enable businesses to measure, value and report their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystem services. 410 0$aTEEB - The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 676 $a658.4/083 676 $a658.4083 686 $aSCI026000$2bisacsh 701 $aBishop$b Joshua$01443059 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969818303321 996 $aThe economics of ecosystems and biodiversity in business and enterprise$94482799 997 $aUNINA
