About Proteus
Biodiversity risks for business
Biodiversity loss can lead to operational delays, physical damage to assets, disruption and instability in value chains, and reputational risks. The necessity for business action is clear. Companies are reliant on and impact biodiversity and the ecosystem services that nature provides.
Why Proteus?
Proteus convenes forward-thinking companies with UNEP-WCMC’s technical experts to collectively advance evidence-based biodiversity action. By participating in Proteus, companies can accelerate and scale solutions to manage business risk, build resilience, and meaningfully contribute to societal action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
