LEADING Sustainability

Embarking on the Business to Planet journey: Accelerating sustainability in a changing world.

The urgent call for action resonates immensely with business leaders. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and exceeding planetary boundaries underscore the need to accelerate not only our thinking but, more crucially, our actions.

Rapidly advancing towards a business journey that integrates the planet and its people as fundamental stakeholders, we champion a mindset extending from business to consumer or business to business, reaching all the way to a journey from Business to Planet.

This transformative journey integrates climate technologies and sustainability innovations, empowering each stakeholder to reduce environmental impact and unlock sustainable opportunities. Through this conscious acceleration, we infuse the planet’s needs into every decision-making stage, ensuring organizations meet current objectives and stand well-prepared for an inclusive and sustainable future.

Business to Planet is a commitment to delivering value for both people and the planet. It fosters genuine innovation, unlocking value and constructing an ecosystem devoted to delivering positive impact.

Will you join us on this journey and consciously accelerate sustainability?

Rethinking sustainability

How can technology be a key lever in the response to the twin major issues that we face today – the climate crisis and the threat to biodiversity?

Why biodiversity loss is as urgent as climate change

Current efforts are insufficient. Only 24% of organizations have a biodiversity strategy, and it is estimated that the financing gap for biodiversity exceeds $700 billion annually.
