Executive Summary
Just as climate did a decade ago, nature is rapidly moving from the sidelines to centre stage in corporate boardrooms. The sustainability consulting landscape is shifting, as organizations increasingly seek to embed nature into their strategies and core operations. Though still a smaller segment, nature-related services are becoming a key growth area, reflecting the rising impact of nature on long-term business performance. With over half of global GDP dependent on nature, this report examines how sustainability consulting is evolving to meet nature’s growing importance.
