Business in the Community has developed the “Introduction to Biodiversity” workshop in response to growing demand for nature-positive actions within sustainable business.
Nature-based solutions go hand-in-hand with combatting climate change, and businesses have a responsibility to protect and enhance our natural environment. However, an understanding of biodiversity and its interactions with the environment, society and business is required to drive forward the necessary changes. The course has been designed to provide that baseline knowledge for professionals working across all sectors and departments, and is suitable for beginners.
