Strong signal from business: 'Biodiversity in Good Company' Initiative realigned
The Initiative has been transformed into a business-run and company-driven independent association. Thus, the former successful project established by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in 2008 ensures its long-term future prospects.
The German Federal Environment Minister, Dr. Norbert Röttgen, welcomed the companies' commitment: "Nature is our foundation of life. Protecting nature is the joint task of government and society. The German business community has made a vital contribution to this by founding the international network 'Biodiversity in Good Company'. In this way, German companies are supporting the federal government in implementing the National Biodiversity Strategy and in reaching internationally agreed targets."
