Corporate biodiversity accounting and reporting in mega-diverse countries: An examination of indicators disclosed in sustainability reports

Biodiversity and extinction accounting for sustainable development: A systematic literature review and future research directions

“…The analysis reveals that literature has focused mainly on global‐wide studies for B/E organisational accountability rather than one country specifically. According to Figure 3, eight publications investigate organisations globally for their disclosure on B/E (Addison, Bull, & Milner‐Gulland, 2019; Adler, Mansi, & Pandey, 2018; Bhattacharya & Managi, 2013; Boiral, 2016; Boiral & Heras‐Saizarbitoria, 2017; Hassan, Roberts, & Atkins, 2020; Skouloudis, Malesios, & Dimitrakopoulos, 2019). This is followed by six U.K. specific studies (Freeman & Groom, 2013; Gaia & Jones, 2017, 2019; Weir, 2018, 2019).…”

Biomimetic Organisations: A Management Model that Learns from Nature

“…For professionals, the biomimetic model can suggest improvement systems that have been shown to be effective in natural environments such as; efficient energy use, use waste as a resource, optimize rather than maximize, use materials sparingly, shop locally and so on. The biomimetic management model contributes to the organisation in the following ways: (1) stimulation of creativity, pride of belonging, commitment and well-being of people who directly or indirectly relate to it; (2) optimal use of all resources; (3) understanding and imitation of the vital mechanisms of the Earth that need to be respected and protected; (4) continuous improvement in the definition and implementation of strategies and policies; (5) innovative and disruptive products or services; (6) active involvement of customers and suppliers; (7) triple bottom results sustained over time; (8) complicity with society; (9) conservation of the planet for future generations (human and non-human); and (10) welfare in the organisation subsystem and in the other subsystems with which it directly or indirectly relates. Furthermore, beyond good practices learned from nature, the mature system models of Benyus [11] can improve current management systems by encouraging business managers to look at nature, imitate it, and be inspired by it to find creative ways to solve problems.…”

“…In relation to priority 5, it is relevant to note is that EU action in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility and responsible business behaviour "encourages the private sector to contribute to the achievement of social and environmental objectives, thereby fostering equitable and sustainable growth and the protection of social rights" [7] (p. 11). However, there is a strong debate on why and how the private sector can effectively contribute to ecologically sustainable societies because "all business entities are dependent to biological diversity and the planetary spectrum of ecosystem services either directly or indirectly" [8] (p. 888). Businesses in particular and organisations in general have a responsibility to work together to create a more liveable, just, and sustainable world: "Sustainable development is a shared responsibility of the European Union, the Member States and all stakeholders.…”

Medición De Impactos Socioambientales Y Responsabilidad Social Organizacional

“…La responsabilidad de la organización por la biodiversidad debería ser mejorada para aclarar si las entidades comerciales actúan como administradores de la diversidad biológica del planeta, cómo gestionan su huella en los ecosistemas y las especies (Skouloudisa, Chrisovalantis & Dimitrakopoulosa, 2019). La correcta integración de las prácticas de RS en la gestión estratégica redunda en reputación corporativa (Sanje & Senol, 2012).…”
