SUMMARY
This guide explains in a pragmatic way how companies can act in favor of biodiversity, in particular SMEs and ETIs of all sectors and levels of maturity. It has been produced by the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (Medef), with the support of Blooming.
The report highlights the need for financing to preserve and restore ecosystems and biodiversity, which provide valuable ecosystem services. Private funding is 30 times lower than public funding, which makes it vital to increase it. Businesses may lack knowledge of the possibilities for financing biodiversity; this guide provides information on actions that can be financed by businesses.
11 practical fact sheets detail the different solutions, specifying the resources to be mobilized, the objectives, the opportunities for the company and how to implement them.
You can find a map summarizing the solutions, as well as useful resources on the subject.
In particular, this guide can be used by attractiveness professionals as a resource to share with local businesses. It is a reminder that preserving biodiversity, just like the commitment of companies, contributes to the attractiveness of a region.
