Nature, that’s your business, too.

If nature stands strong, so does your organisation. A healthy ecosystem plays a crucial role: from clean water and fertile soils to flood protection and raw materials for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

While biodiversity is under pressure, forward-thinking companies and organisations are already building solutions. The Biodiversity Shift brings these frontrunners together and pools experience in a programme that will help your organisation take structural steps toward a nature-inclusive economy.

Build your Biodiversity Strategy

Biodiversity is disappearing and you can feel it: higher risks, scarce resources, less resilience. More and more Belgian companies are turning the tide by investing in nature to avoid loss and create value. In this community of practice you will work with fellow companies and experts on a biodiversity strategy that really works.

The Biodiversity Shift

Nature, that’s your business, too. As biodiversity is ever increasingly under threat and our economy feels the pinch, more and more Belgian companies are investing in nature to prevent further damage and create value. This community of practice pools their experiences in a programme that helps your company take structural steps towards helping a healthy, resilient natural world.

Although CO₂ is a global problem, nature is something distinctly local. There is no universal solution. So start locally, where it makes sense, and use your team’s strengths to find the right approach.

For many companies, terms such as “endangered species” or “water consumption” sound too abstract and distant to really prioritise them. As a result, biodiversity is often seen as a complex and sometimes even polarising issue.

The transition towards a nature-positive future is not only about our footprint, it is also about our mindprint. We want to help shape a generation of professionals who understand that every sector, every organization, and every decision has an influence on the living systems around us.

Our partners

We are grateful to WWF-Belgium, Triodos Bank and The Nest Family Office for this unique partnership. Recognised knowledge partners are also participating without whom this program would not have been possible.

We look beyond our own borders. The Biodiversity Shift works internationally with Business for Nature, bringing more knowledge in-house and ensuring that we can scale up this programme in other countries.

Got an idea for a new community of practice?

Do you have a specific biodiversity theme on which you want to take structural steps together with other stakeholders? Or is there something missing from our current offering? At The Shift, we believe in the power of collaboration. Let us know which biodiversity topic you’d like to explore and we might just be able to bring the right partners around the table for your breakthrough.
