Context

Identify the actions of businesses and local authorities in favor of nature

In April 2020, the French Office for Biodiversity aimed to identify and obtain an economic analysis of actions taken by businesses and local authorities that support biodiversity conservation.

The objectives of the OFB were to identify and analyze the various ways to make biodiversity a lever for growth or economic development for both the commercial and non-commercial sectors.

service

Analyze the economic value of virtuous actions

Vertigo Lab and EY were entrusted with the study, and we contributed to the economic analysis of the identified actions, evaluating their benefits for economic actors and their positive effects on ecosystems.

The results of the study informed the toolkit provided by the OFB to the companies that participated in the "Businesses Committed to Nature – Act4Nature France" initiative.

Six summary sheets were created and presented in infographic form.

BENEFITS

Highlight exemplary initiatives to accelerate biodiversity commitment

By showcasing reproducible and economically viable actions, the study encourages scaling up practices that favor biodiversity.

The produced sheets can serve as inspiration, decision-making tools, and mobilization support for economic and territorial actors.

They contribute to sustainably positioning biodiversity as a strategic lever, rather than a constraint, for the development of organizations.

The + Vertigo Lab

With our in-depth knowledge of the economic evaluation of biodiversity, we were able to translate ecological benefits into concrete economic arguments for businesses and territories.
