Our team recently traded desks for a day at Hackney City Farm Limited, giving back to nature and reconnecting with the environment we work to protect. From weeding gardens and turning compost to spending time with the farm’s piglets 🐷, the day was both refreshing and a great reminder of our shared mission. Big thanks to OnHand • the impact platform for organising a memorable and meaningful day.

🚨 Nature must be at the core of business strategies, not just a side consideration. Last week, WWF-France released a report that highlights the critical need for credible corporate nature targets that align with science. As businesses face increasing pressure to address biodiversity loss, setting ambitious, science-based nature targets is no longer optional. It's essential. Here are some key takeaways from the report: 🌍 Companies must cover their entire value chain when setting nature targets, from direct operations to upstream and downstream impacts. 🖐️ Targets should address the five main pressures on nature: land and sea use change, direct exploitation of organisms, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. 📊 To be credible, nature targets must be science-based and grounded in ecological thresholds, ensuring alignment with local and global environmental needs. 🔍 A strong focus on transparency is critical. Companies need to clearly communicate the methodologies and assumptions behind their targets. It's clear that nature-positive business is no longer a nice-to-have. How are you setting nature targets in your organisation? #NaturePositive #Biodiversity #Sustainability #CorporateSustainability
