The Finance for Biodiversity Foundation and the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform publish the fifth update of the Collaborative Engagements Overview

In recent years, financial institutions have increasingly been engaging with companies on biodiversity in various ways. This overview points financial institutions to ongoing engagements and provides information on past collaborative engagements. In this fifth update, 46 engagements are covered.

Financial institutions have an impact on global biodiversity levels largely through the companies they finance or invest in. Engaging with these companies, or “collaborative engagement”, is an important strategy to reverse biodiversity loss, making it one of the five commitments outlined in the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge. 

This overview points financial institutions to ongoing engagements that they can join and provides information generated from past collaborative engagements. By providing yearly updates, the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation (FfB) and the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform want to help financial institutions navigate the ever-changing landscape of collaborative biodiversity engagements. 

The Collaborative Engagements Overview serves as an annex to chapter 3 of the Guide on Engagement with companies launched in 2022. Of the 46 collective engagements and joint investor letters covered in this guidance, 19 are ongoing.
