The Biodiversity Shift

Nature, that’s your business too.

If nature stands strong, so does your organisation. A healthy ecosystem provides crucial services: from clean water and fertile soils to flood protection and raw materials for pharma and biotech.

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 towards a nature-inclusive economy.

No hives but continuity of your core business with actionable insights, concrete goals and practical advice.

Collaborate with peers, experts and policy makers, in a trusted environment across sectors.

Translation of accumulated knowledge and advice into measurable results, in line with international standards.

Move step by step to a nature-inclusive economy, supported by strong networks and policy-oriented actions.

Regenerative agriculture for nature restoration

Healthy soils are the quiet foundation of our food systems, water management and climate resilience. During this field visit at Soil Capital, you will discover what regenerative agriculture looks like in practice – and what it means for organisations that want to play a role in restoring nature.

Communities of practice

In a community of practice you work for a longer period of time with a fixed group of organisations to structurally anchor biodiversity in your company. Join forces with unexpected partners from various sectors and take real steps forward.

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 biodiversity experts to put biodiversity on your corporate agenda – right at the heart of your activities – and build a strategy that drives real, structured progress.

Biodiversity | Isabelle De Wulf on nature positivity

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.

Brecht De Roo on biodiversity

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.

Jo Wuytack on biodiversity

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.

For whom is this intended

The Biodiversity Shift is for all organisations and businesses that want to embed biodiversity and nature restoration at the heart of their activities to create resilience, value and positive impact.

Whether you are curious and want to take the first steps, are ready to fly in, or have proven results and want to make your voice heard in the public debate, in this programme you will find the knowledge, network and influence to make a difference for a nature-positive economy.

Our partners

We are grateful to our partners WWF-Belgium, Triodos Bank and The Nest Family Office for this unique partnership. Renowned 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 program in other countries.

Got an idea for a new community of practice?

Do you have a specific biodiversity theme on which you would like to work together with multi-stakeholders? Or do you feel that the current offering lacks a certain focus? At The Shift, we believe in the power of collaboration. Let us know what biodiversity topic you’d like to explore and maybe together we’ll bring the right partners around the table for your breakthrough.
