Nature takes centre stage this week as Australia hosts the inaugural Global Nature Positive Summit 2024. Now in full swing, the summit is bringing together businesses, NGOs, policymakers, experts and Indigenous peoples to drive collective action towards investing in nature, halting biodiversity loss and repairing environmental harm. Brambles recognises the critical role nature plays in our own business and has taken steps towards understanding its dependencies and impacts on nature through early adoption of Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations. Today, we are proud to have lent our voice to the global chorus advocating for nature, which aligns with our ambition to advance regenerative supply networks. #GlobalNaturePositiveSummit #Sustainability #NaturePositive #CircularEconomy
