Future-Proof Your Business: Introducing RENEW’s C-Suite Guide to Nature-Positive Strategy

Thursday 23rd April 2026, 12:00-13:00 GMT (online, Teams webinar)

Business depends on nature for growth and resilience. Over half of global GDP – and around 5% of UK GDP by 2030 – is at risk if nature loss continues unchecked.

As expectations from investors, policymakers and customers rise, companies that integrate nature and biodiversity into their strategy can strengthen supply chains, manage risk, reduce costs and unlock new opportunities.

The RENEW C-suite Guide provides practical insights to help leadership teams accelerate their journey toward nature-positive business. Underpinned by primary research with executives and senior leaders in the UK, the Guide identifies:

• Six common barriers preventing companies from fully engaging with biodiversity and nature;
• Five critical enablers that help organisations overcome these barriers and accelerate action;
• Six company archetypes – from The Unengaged to Agenda Setters – helping leadership assess their current position;
• Practical recommendations for the C-suite, including how to align strategy, decision-making and learning; priorities for the first two years of the journey; and ways to apply familiar management tools to manage nature with the same discipline as core business functions.

The Guide is a first step and a catalyst for collaboration between businesses, government agencies, investors, academia, business networks and NGOs to develop sector- and function-specific implementation guidance.

Join our launch webinar to explore how your organisation can unlock opportunities for nature-positive business. Hear the latest research insights, discover practical approaches for integrating nature into business strategy, and download the new RENEW C-suite Guide.

The session will also feature perspectives from organisations that helped co-develop the Guide, reflecting on how it can support businesses in practice.
