Corporate Biodiversity Management Handbook

The 'Corporate Biodiversity Management Handbook' is one of the first comprehensive guides available to enterprises that takes on the business and biodiversity topic from an economic perspective.

The handbook's clear and practical orientation provides a direct look at biodiversity management and enables immediate recommendation implementation in managerial practice. Numerous best-practice examples from the Business and Biodiversity Initiative 'Biodiversity in Good Company' members illustrate the methods and tools needed for corporate biodiversity management.

A downloadable PDF version of the handbook along with additional information can be found undefinedhere.
