The COP 15 for biodiversity in Montreal underlined the importance of action by financial institutions to preserve the ecosystems. They are thus strongly encouraged to implement a biodiversity strategy. However, the subject is complex, and according to an analysis WeeFin conducted on 11 asset management companies, only 2 have set biodiversity-related objectives.To assist clients in developing and implementing a biodiversity strategy, WeeFin has put together a series of educational resources covering various aspects. The first guide establishes the link between biodiversity and finance:

  • An introduction to biodiversity and the challenges
  • Figures on the impact of human activities on biodiversity
  • Double materiality and the influence of financial institutions
  • A calendar of biodiversity-related regulatory requirements

This guide is available in both French and English.
