BONN — Sustaining nature is not just an environmental goal; it is an essential component of sustainable business and requires that we redefine business success to include the wise stewardship of nature.
Nature provides the vital infrastructure that underpins the economy. Nature's contributions to people through the economy include the provision of the raw materials necessary to produce everything from our food to components of our mobile phones and the less immediately obvious but supremely important regulation of environmental conditions, which impact everything from climate and ocean conditions to water supplies and soil fertility.
