Objectives
The member companies support the economy’s voluntary commitment to protecting biodiversity and aim to create space for innovation and investment in order to pave the way for ecologically sound technologies, products and services to be successfully introduced into the marketplace. They are ready to share the benefits of the economic utilization of natural resources fairly with those who grant access to them openly and cooperatively.
‘Biodiversity in Good Company’ contributes to increasingly integrating the private sector into the implementation process of the 
Convention on Biological Diversity.
The Initiative serves its member companies as a platform for mutual learning and dialogue in the continuous process of enhancing their biodiversity management. By signing the Initiative’s 
Mission Statement and Leadership Declaration, the companies commit themselves to
- including the protection and sustainable use of biological diversity within their environmental management systems,
- exchanging experiences and promoting innovation through communicating
best practice examples, and - promoting the ideas of business and biodiversity worldwide.
In order to increase awareness about the common responsibility to catalyze ecologically sound solutions and foster environmental alliances, members of the Initiative cultivate and engage in an open dialogue between business, politics, science, non-governmental organizations and society on a national as well as international level.
The member companies are committed to using their expertise and experience to convince employees and customers as well as the general public to implement ecologically sound patterns of living and consumption, which they consider to be both necessary and beneficial. They seek to contribute to more profound knowledge creation surrounding how economic activity impacts the complexity of nature.
As a voice of business, the companies affiliated with the ‘Biodiversity in Good Company’ Initiative advocate reliable political frameworks that support the potential benefits of entrepreneurial commitment to protecting biodiversity under the conditions of global competition.
The members of the ‘Biodiversity in Good Company’ Initiative invite those businesses and organizations willing to integrate the protection of biodiversity into their sustainability management and to transparently report on their progress in establishing ecologically compatible modes of operation to join the Initiative.
