SGOL: SBTi’s Popularity, Corporate Biodiversity Action and Biodiversity Credits

In this episode of Sustainable Growth Out Loud, the team discuss the many changes taking place in corporate sustainability and why individual companies shouldn’t be expected to bear the brunt of biodiversity action.

The adoption of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) demonstrates the willingness to shift to more sustainable actions. However, with the SBTi being skewed in favour of larger corporations, does this discourage smaller companies from participating in the just transition?

Next on the agenda the team discuss a new biodiversity study by Imperial College London, which highlights the need for policymakers to strengthen existing environmental licensing regulation.

Sticking with the subject of biodiversity, the team review the news that The Scottish Government is exploring the opportunity to create marketable biodiversity credits and discuss the difference between credits and offsets.
