With growing expectations from stakeholders, international trade requirements, and the undeniable link between climate change and nature loss, it's time for businesses to learn about the urgent risks and huge opportunities tied to nature-positive strategies. This event will highlight why it's no longer enough to simply reduce carbon emissions — nature restoration is essential for a sustainable future and a prosperous economy.

The session will be led by Louise Saunders who is CEO at Manaaki Kamai Mamaku Trust. She has 25 years' experience as a consulting ecologist working in diverse industries and is able to guide you through the global and national developments, and provide insights into how your business can become an early adopter of nature-positive action to meet sustainability goals, mitigate risks and engage in impactful partnerships. You might be looking to understand biodiversity credits, explore partnership options, or get ahead of reporting expectations — this event is packed with practical insights.

Louise will share fascinating case studies around local businesses, and there will be the chance to discuss your challenges, questions and thoughts in smaller groups. Bring any questions!

Michelle Elborn, CEO of Bay Conservation Alliance, will also share information about key local nature-based projects that need support from businesses, so you can identify important opportunities in our area.
