If we care for the land,
if we care for people,
we can move forward
into the future.
We are dependent on nature for the basics of life, such as air, food, water and shelter. But the way we do business often harms nature and overlooks the value of the services it provides.
This short-sighted approach not only exacerbates biodiversity loss and climate change, it also jeopardises vital ecosystem services, public health and economic stability.
The purpose of our Regenerate Nature Programme is to support organisations to integrate nature into their business and increase funding for nature regeneration on the ground.
We’re calling for urgent leadership, action and investment in nature.
Our report is a comprehensive study of the current state of play of business and nature, and identifies key opportunities for businesses to take nature action.
82% of businesses say they want to "do the right thing" for nature but are held back by a lack of knowledge, support and time.
SBN can help.
We connect businesses and philanthropic organisations to community, iwi and hapū groups and farmers leading quality nature restoration work.
We help identify on-the-ground nature projects that are a great fit for your business. We also offer excellent storytelling and regular impact reporting of nature regeneration outcomes.
We support businesses with advice and training on how to take meaningful nature action. And provide step-by-step guidance to start integrating nature into your business strategy.
How SBN can support you
Every sector of the economy and every business, whatever its size or location, depends on nature and its services. These include pollination, access to raw materials like timber and everyday essentials like reliable power and clean water. It’s important to understand your business' impact and reliance on nature. Not sure how nature factors into your business? Check out this entertaining explainer.
Making nature a priority in the way you do business can help you:
Our workshop helps your business understand why you need to take action. We'll unpack your nature-related dependencies, impacts and risks and what nature-positive actions to prioritise.
The natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.
