Business transformation for nature recovery event

The Cambridge Sustainability Leadership Institute (CISL) will bring together a group of leading companies to discuss business model transformation in support of nature-positive outcomes. Participants will benefit from the knowledge gained in CISL’s latest work in this area and will have the opportunity to share experiences, knowledge and good practices with other organisations at the forefront of nature-positive innovation.

CISL works to understand how a system-level transformation of the economy can be achieved to support nature-positive outcomes. Increasingly, our business and financial leadership groups recognize the critical role that natural systems must play in underpinning sustainable economic activity, but also in ensuring positive outcomes for people and the climate.

CISL’s recent work covers areas as diverse as an engagement guide for financial institutions on nature and climate-related risks; guidelines for the agri-food sector on nature, to name just a few examples.

Building on this experience, the organisers will seek to understand how business models can be transformed to generate nature-positive outcomes, and to involve a wide range of companies in this endeavour. The ambition is to understand how broader supply chains from different sectors can catalyse business innovation, including the creation of new production models, in which value creation is based on obtaining positive results for nature.

This event will bring together companies of different sizes from a variety of sectors to engage in an open dialogue about the challenges, opportunities and learnings from their efforts to integrate nature into the core of their businesses.
