A roadmap for nature restoration: Nature reporting for food & drink businesses
Join Ricardo for a free webinar providing guidance on developing and implementing a ‘Roadmap to Nature Reporting for Food & Drink Businesses’.
We will outline a structured reporting framework tailored to food and drink manufacturers, aligned to Pillar 2: Nature Restoration in FDF Ambition 2030 and business biodiversity and natural capital reporting requirements, such as Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
The webinar will focus on equipping you to initiate nature-related disclosures and take tangible steps forward to identify and prioritise opportunities to integrate restoration activities within your business activities and supply chains. We will share tools and methodologies that support the identification of strategic objectives, development of KPIs, and the setting of science-based targets, forming the foundation for robust, nature-positive business planning.
We’ll also share practical examples, including agricultural supply chain interventions delivering multiple nature benefits soil health improvement, habitat restoration, water stewardship and co-benefits such as carbon sequestration, flood resilience, and pollination services.
Attendees will receive a nature reporting check-list, tailored to food and drink businesses, to guide internal assessments and prioritisation of next steps in building a nature strategy for their businesses.
