Leveraging Nature in Business: Barriers, Opportunities and Pathways to Impact

Nature positivity is a commercial imperative — not just a values proposition.

This collaborative roundtable will explore how businesses can and must harness nature to their advantage. The session opens with a thought-provoking talk from Gil Martin, Commercial and Natural Capital Director at RESTORE, on how protecting and enhancing natural capital can strengthen business resilience — from mitigating environmental risks to generating long-term cost savings, strategic value, and competitive edge.

Following this, an interactive roundtable discussion will delve into the barriers and opportunities in building a nature-positive strategy, participants’ experience of emerging markets, and evolving buyer requirements.

This session is designed for Chief Sustainability Officers, ESG and sustainability leads, strategy and innovation executives, and senior decision-makers responsible for delivering climate, nature, and net-zero commitments across the corporate sector.
