Humanity cannot exist without biodiversity. It provides us with everything that we depend on – from food and water to medicine and materials.
But that biodiversity is at great risk of being lost, and we need major investments and commitments from all sectors to preserve it and prevent further losses.
Over half of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature. This means businesses are set to be hugely impacted by biodiversity loss, and it is in their interest to protect it by ensuring that their business models and operations are not harming nature.
So, how can businesses and the private sector help conserve biodiversity and create positive impacts on nature across their supply chains.
Join us on Wednesday, 23 October at 11:00 UTC for a conversation with Cadi Pink, global sustainability commercial lead at Lush Cosmetics, to learn how businesses can support biodiversity by investing in nature, ensuring fair transactions with local communities, preserving the ecosystem and more.
Cadi Pink has worked for 13 years as the global sustainability commercial lead at Lush Cosmetics, based at Lush headquarters in Dorset, U.K. She has managed agricultural investment projects in Asia, developed the company insetting initiative and managed the Supply Chain Impact Team. She now works with global Lush markets on sustainability strategy, operations and reporting.

Many conservation projects struggle to attract institutional investors because they’re too small – even if they’re worth $5 million.
