Biodiversity and climate are deeply interconnected, and businesses have a crucial role in shaping a nature-positive future. That’s why we are proud to have supported NextEnergy Group in developing their 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, one of the first globally science-based, action-driven roadmaps designed to integrate nature into corporate decision-making. This strategy aligns with 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 (#𝐓𝐍𝐅𝐃), 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 (#𝐒𝐁𝐓𝐍) 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬, and 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐮𝐧𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, setting clear commitments to: ▪️ 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 in operations and supply chains ▪️ 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 with a 30×30 restoration target ▪️ 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 through nature management plans ▪️ 𝐄𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 and responsible sourcing This project proves that putting nature at the heart of decision-making using a scientific approach leads to real impacts on climate and nature. 🎉 A huge thanks to the Etifor team for their work on this Wesley Snell, Maria Alejandra Lizcano Solano, Helena Chiaretti Leonel Ferreira and Alessandro Bellio, and congratulations to NextEnergy Group for setting a new benchmark in the solar and sustainable finance industries! 📖 In the upcoming weeks, we will have the chance to discuss this topic in more detail.

Carbon Farming involves agricultural and forestry practices that enhance carbon sequestration and storage in soils and forests while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This includes ecologically-based reforestation that promotes biodiversity and sustainable forest management. The European Union's Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming Regulation governs these practices.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐁 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝. As a B Corp™, we believe doing business means much more than generating profit. It means creating tangible value for the environment, people, and society, proving that economic, social, and environmental sustainability can truly go hand in hand. This vision is driven by a new generation of individuals who utilise business as a force for good; we call them #GenB. During this #BCorpMonth, we celebrate our commitment alongside thousands of other B Corps worldwide. We are not an exception but part of a global movement that grows daily. Negative news often absorbs us until we believe it represents the only possible reality. That's why today we are here to make our voices heard, to show through our actions that an alternative exists and that a more responsible economy is possible. 👉 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: https://lnkd.in/eQR-yxJ8 👉 Discover more on #GenB: https://lnkd.in/fmyKYrT

At #Etifor, as a Università degli Studi di Padova spin-off born to value nature, we believe compliance is just the starting point. True #competitiveness lies with those companies that go beyond regulations—those that recognise natural resources as strategic assets, understand their impacts and dependencies on climate, biodiversity, water, and soil, and take proactive steps to adapt to a changing world (climate). Now, the proposal moves to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for discussion and voting. The process is still long, and the text might be revised and amended. 📎 While we await further developments, explore our 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞: https://lnkd.in/d7t9-chA
