The Economy of Biodiversity
Based on Braulio Dias and David Steuerman presentation at Ethos Conference
The challenge of CBD (Convention of Biological Diversity) is to engage the business sector in the economy of biodiversity. Considering that in Brazil this sector is starting to be engaged, the opportunity is to influence others to act proactively also.
Challenges from the Sustainable Development Perspective
The Concept need to be better understand by companies, its chain - impacts and dependance
Valuation exercices
Guideline and standards
Need consistent action on a company- wide basis
Information management
Public policy and market forces x prices
Rio+20 proposals:
Financing through public private partnership
Ensuring private sector undertakes measures to implement Green Economy
Technology development and sharing
Need for information among all stakeholders
Potential impacts to the Economy and Business:
Larger companies will likely be first to be affected but will ripple down
2010 CBD (COP10):
Aichi targets and Biodiversity Decade
Business Engagement Strategy:
http://www.cbd.int/business
Facilitation of information flow
Provision of information and services for companies

Shared value from investor's perspective, moderated by Erika Karp
Free Summary Based on: Creating Shared Value Leadership Summit
by FSG, Boston
Finance Session, with Investment Groups started with: "thinking about repair the world?": "it's not up to you to complete the mission but you can't give up"
Great opportunity to build something new: With value, market, improving lifes and integrating environment in the equation.
and... to ensure that...
It's important to undestand your chain in order to create shared value
And the strong Pannel was:
Dan Hanson, BlackRock
Mark Sloss, UBS Wealth Management Americas
Curtis Ravenel, Bloomberg
David Blood, Generation Investment Management (sust related)
Environmental, social and governmental are more and more cruccial areas for business in orderto ensure long term
Business can adress challenges about climate and social issues
From Bloomberg 350thous customers, only 1% are looking sust data
To change this, increase the number: Accountability in the process
Most leaders are investing in sustainability especially because it's good for business
Less volatility with sustainability implementation
How to implement?
Make the business case: This is about better business and make things better (in this order)
Talk finance language
and important to remember... It's specific to each company
What's the most important to your business, long term vision?
Business shift to get extra results and this is about creating shared value: a New scenario now! It will be spread in different areas.
Summary of Creating Shared Value
It's not about individuos,companies, it's about all and the business model
Government has the capacity to accelerate shared value process, companies to implement and NGOs to integrate
In emerging market: product, productivity and cluster (strengh the value chain)
Measurement: still ongoing but first part is built
Companies needs to lead this process: It's about competitiveness
"The future is long away but it happens before you perceived" Bill Gates
