Business for Nature

Bridging the Gap between Ecology and Economy
forum CSR international 1/2012

(firmenpresse) - The new edition of forum CSR international has just been published and looks into a new era of opportunity, growth and sustainable development. Main topics: Water, Forests and Business & Biodiversity.
Munich, June 4th, 2012. Few of us can claim to understand the intricate workings of the global economy as it stands. It is too complex an organism, and sadly lacking in transparency. Let’s turn it into something simple and comprehensible. Let’s create a green economy which places a higher value on social equity, natural capital and ecological services. forum CSR international sheds light on the topic and triggers ideas on how each and every company can contribute. What can we do to save our blue planet? Different articles that range from David de Rothschild’s adventure with his plastic bottle boat, to the role of labelling in the seafood market, to a football project "Drinking Water for Africa" give answers to this question. These projects demonstrate that it is important to find ways to ensure that we have enough of this valuable resource to meet all of our hygiene, nutrition, trade and infrastructural needs – and avoid polluting our rivers, seas and oceans. Water is one thing. The biodiversity it supports is another, and without it our die is cast. The Business & Biodiversity chapter explains to which extent voluntary performance standards, as a means for companies to adopt sustainable practices, include measures adopted for biodiversity protection, how businesses can examine its business processes and value chains in relation to biodiversity with the help of a biodiversity check and which new developments in financing biodiversity conservation through tapping private capital sources exist and to which extent the financial sector can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Green Economy – from intention to action: The International Conference on Sustainable Business and Consumption (SusCon) that will be held on the 27/28th of November, 2012 in Bonn, Germany discusses how we can influence global development and the economic reality of large and small companies and how companies can adapt their business models today.
