  • Ignoring biodiversity could put businesses at risk

    Mongabay India

    We’ve failed to fund the most important part of ESG.

    Everyone’s talking about net-zero and carbon credits. Meanwhile, the living systems that keep our food, water, and economies alive—our biodiversity—are collapsing. And most ESG strategies aren’t even looking.

    We’ve failed to fund the most important part of ESG.

    Everyone’s talking about net-zero and carbon credits. Meanwhile, the living systems that keep our food, water, and economies alive—our biodiversity—are collapsing. And most ESG strategies aren’t even looking.

    Global ESG assets surpassed $30 trillion in 2022, while global biodiversity finance is estimated at $208 billion annually, around 0.69% of total ESG assets, underscoring a significant imbalance in funding allocation.

    - What’s being ignored
    - How real communities and businesses are already paying the price
    - What tools and frameworks can shift this trajectory
    - Why investing in biodiversity is not charity—it’s risk mitigation

    If your ESG strategy doesn’t account for biodiversity, it’s not sustainable. It’s just optics.

  • Getting your Non-Profit Technology Right

    IDR Online

    The need for nonprofit programmes to incorporate smart, simple, and effective technology is increasing. However, more often than not, organisations in the sector struggle to find the right solution, the right vendor to build it out, or with its successful implementation. In these instances, technology becomes more of a bottleneck than an enabler.
