The World Benchmarking Alliance's Nature Benchmark measures and ranks the world's most influential companies on their efforts to protect our environment and its biodiversity.

This metric relates to the Indicator: The company's business model embeds circularity and follows a pathway that aligns with nature's full recovery by 2050.

Rationale: Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse is one of the top five threats to humanity (WEF, 2020). Over half of the world's GDP is dependent on ecosystem services, and it has been estimated

that nature-positive actions could generate up to USD 10 trillion. There is an urgent need to act by adopting circular and nature-positive business models with a mitigation hierarchy approach at their core. This profound change in the way business interacts with nature is required in order to stabilize biodiversity in the decade to 2030, allow for the recovery of natural ecosystems in the next 20 years and achieve net improvements by 2050 (CBD, 2021).
