ABOUT CHARLES HENDERSON

I drive corporate adoption of SBTN\'s best practice guidance for nature action globally. This includes helping businesses to assess the importance of nature in operations and supply chains, build the business case for action and set ambition aligned with planetary boundaries.Why does Nature matter? As the backbone of human well-being and the foundation for all economic activity, it is intrinsic to all business models, providing raw materials and a healthy operating environment for people and production Agri, forest and textile-related businesses require the provision of fresh water, healthy soil and pollination, and need to protect workers, crops and facilities against adverse weather Extractive, industrial and technology businesses require large volumes of water for operations, and need to meet tightening environmental regulations and rising public expectations🦺 Protecting nature provides resilience to assets and supply chains. This reduces downtime in operations and helps ensure security of supply of key inputs and commoditiesWhy follow SBTN guidance? It is the leading corporate approach for setting nature targets, giving assurance that the de-facto global standard is being followed This stimulates innovation to co-meet nature and climate goals cost-effectively, driving site action, enhancing supplier relationships and the use of technology Prepare for disclosures (TNFD, CSRD, ISSB) to financial and other stakeholders Demonstrate leadership in meeting environmental responsibilitiesPlease don\'t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to arrange an introductory chat about the standard, and how it can add value to your business model.
