When deployed correctly, nature-based solutions can help companies build resilience against climate impacts, restore and protect biodiversity linked to critical ecosystem services, and maintain the social license to operate by delivering value to local stakeholders.

Sustainability professionals often hold the responsibility for an increasingly complex, strategic, and broad range of issues, and must effectively engage a wide number of stakeholders on sustainability challenges. However, stakeholders are more likely to buy-in to an idea if they: 🤝Connect with the idea on a deeper level 🧠Appreciate how actions relate to company philosophy 💫Understand the challenges and opportunities presented Stories can spark curiosity, inform stakeholders how your business affects the world, build emotional connections, and persuade people to take ambitious action. Explore how by combining the building blocks of storytelling with the fundamental tenets of building a business case, companies can create a powerful narrative that aligns with the SDGs, and meets stakeholder expectations, in our Infographic below.
