🌍 Celebrating International Day of Biodiversity! 🌿 Today, we join the global community in celebrating the International Day for Biodiversity. At #tier3solutions, we are deeply committed to preserving and enhancing the rich tapestry of life on our planet. Biodiversity is the foundation of a healthy ecosystem, and it's essential for the well-being of all living creatures, including us. Our dedicated team works tirelessly on innovative solutions to support biodiversity through sustainable practices and advanced environmental technologies. We believe that sustainable management of biodiversity is only possible in cooperation with farmers and city developers. Competent consultation is an important way of supporting food producers as well as urban planners in the implementation of measures to enhance biodiversity. Here are some of the ways we contribute: 🌱 Environmental Impact Assessments: We conduct thorough assessments to ensure that projects minimize their impact on local ecosystems. 🦋 Conservation Projects: We actively participate in and support various monitoring and conservation initiatives aimed at protecting endangered species and habitats. 🦗 Research and Development: Our R&D efforts focus on developing new methods and technologies to monitor and enhance biodiversity. By integrating these practices into our daily operations, we aim to create a positive impact and drive change towards a more sustainable future. Let’s celebrate the diversity of life today and every day. Together, we can make a difference! #BiodiversityDay #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #Conservation #SustainableFuture

🌱 Can a whole sector unite to protect biodiversity? 🌍 Last week in Berlin, I had the privilege of presenting at an event organized by Food for Biodiversity. I shared the exciting progress of our collaboration with the IUCN, a global leader in conservation, as we work to develop practical guidance for companies in our sector. Our aim is to help businesses create effective biodiversity strategies and monitoring frameworks tailored to their local catchment areas. But here's the key takeaway: protecting biodiversity takes teamwork. 🌿 🔗 It requires partnerships. To fully understand local ecosystems, assess risks, and implement restoration or preservation solutions, collaboration is essential. Our companies can (and certainly will!) make all the effort to become nature positive, but they will still depend on local NGOs, policymakers, fellow businesses, and academics to bring unique expertise and perspectives to the table. So, to everyone striving to make nature stewardship a priority: let’s connect, share ideas, and build solutions. 🛠️ 🌍 #Biodiversity #WaterStewardship #NatureRestoration Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE)

Celebrating International Day for Biodiversity at Severfield!🌿🌍 In today's fast-paced world, we're prioritising nature by taking action to understand our impact on the natural world. Teaming up with Nature Positive, we have assessed biodiversity risks, impacts, and dependencies across our operations and value chain. Our project was broken down into three parts: Understanding our impact: Collecting data to assess our operations' effects on nature and identify areas for improvement. Looking beyond: Examining our entire supply chain to understand its impact on nature. Making plans: Using this information to protect nature and do our part. Join us on our journey as we continue to take steps to improve our relationship with nature through biodiversity awareness training and improvements at our factories and offices.

Steel is a critical material for sustainable development, and it is essential that the embodied impacts on the environment are minimised. Like other key construction materials, most of the impacts on climate and biodiversity occurs within the supply chain. Over the past decades there has been significant effort by the steel industry to start decarbonising steel. We, at Nature Positive, are welcoming the opportunity to provide our support to recent conversations in industry forums about moving towards minimising biodiversity impacts too, especially during mining, transport and the processing of steel. Here’s what our team had to say about the project: “𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 Michaela Lindridge FICRS 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮.

In today’s #MakingAnImpactMonday, we recognize our role in shaping the environment. 🌍  At Envu, we are committed to mitigating our environmental impact across our 21 global operating sites through proactive biodiversity assessments. In 2023, we’ve made significant strides:    ✅ Completed biodiversity assessments at 75% of our locations, allowing us to understand local species and ecosystem health.  ✅ Restored 4.8 hectares of native forest at our Paulinia, Brazil site.  ✅ Implemented a series of sustainability initiatives to protect biodiversity.    Looking ahead, we aim to complete assessments at all sites by 2025, ensuring compliance with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) endangered species list. These evaluations will become a requirement for all new locations. By conducting these biodiversity assessments and taking proactive measures, we are not only safeguarding the natural habitats around our operations but also aligning with the global benchmarks set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.    Read more about our commitment to environmental stewardship in our latest article, “A Hard Look at the Footprint of Envu Offices.” https://lnkd.in/gfBFUc-S   #MakingAnImpactMonday #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Envu

🌍 Celebrating International Day for Biodiversity!🌱 Today, on International Day for Biodiversity, I am reminded of how privileged I am to work at a place that prioritizes saving and conserving our planet's rich biodiversity. my commitment to biodiversity is more than just a responsibility—it's a passion that drives me every day. The 2024 theme, "Be Part of the Plan," resonates deeply with me. Being part of a team that actively restores and nurtures ecosystems through replanting, monitoring and restoring is incredibly fulfilling. These efforts not only enhance the natural habitat but also support local wildlife and promote ecological balance. Let's all take a moment to appreciate the diverse life forms that share our planet and commit to actions that protect and preserve them. Together, we can make a significant impact. #InternationalDayForBiodiversity #BePartOfThePlan #Biodiversity #Conservation #Sustainability #EnvironmentalStewardship

Credits tied to single ecosystem services have the potential to drive corporate action in the emerging biodiversity market, as they could help companies effectively address their dependencies on nature, according to Eric Wilburn, founder of NatureBridge LLC. Rather than using biodiversity as the core unit at a time when the market is not yet mature, Wilburn suggests shifting the focus to ecosystem services to spark corporate interest. "Many players in the market are working towards standardised biodiversity credits, seeing them as the Holy Grail, but the truth is this model is a bit disconnected from reality – we need to meet companies where they're at," he told our reporter Sergio Colombo. Some ecosystem services could prove more suited than others for crediting schemes, such as water quality and quantity, due to fewer challenges with monitoring and the large number of companies relying on them.

Making an impact with World Biodiversity Day: Today, we celebrate #BiodiversityDay as a way to raise awareness on biodiversity loss and to highlight the importance of biodiversity in addressing sustainable development challenges. Honorable Keynote Speaker of our upcoming International Conference on Environment and Natural Science Dr. Vivek K Gaurav takes out time to share his valuable insights on this special occasion. He shed light on emphasizing the crucial role of "Environmental Communication in Biodiversity Preservation". Vivek K Gaurav (PhD) Here is what he said when asked about his thoughts on celebrating International Biodiversity Day:- "On this World Biodiversity Day 2024, under the theme “Be part of the Plan,” its important to emphasize the crucial role of Environmental Communication in biodiversity preservation. This call to action urges governments, indigenous peoples, local communities, NGOs, lawmakers, businesses, and individuals to actively support the implementation of the Biodiversity Plan. Effective environmental communication transforms ecological concerns into public issues, mobilizing global attention and support. By naming problems, assigning responsibility, and demanding accountability, we can reframe power dynamics and halt destructive practices. Let us recognize that everyone has a role in promoting transparency, engaging the public, and safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity. Together, we can all be #PartOfThePlan." Let’s fight for a healthy and productive future. Only together can we secure it. #callforaction #togetherwecan #savetheplanet #saveenvironment #lifeonearth #celebratewithus

🌍🌿 Celebrate biodiversity and make a difference! May 22nd marks International Day for Biological Diversity, a day established by the United Nations aimed at increasing awareness, understanding, and action toward the improvement and preservation of our rich global biodiversity. As a global community, we are called to interrogate our relationship with the natural world.
