| Description | Biodiversity reduction is one of the most severe environmental challenges facing our planet. Yet research that connects company action with subsequent effect on biodiversity is somewhat limited, and complicated by the fact that such effects are often distanced, both spatially and temporally, from the individual actions that caused them. This chapter brings together existing research in sustainable supply chain management with empirical evidence of companies moving towards more sustainable business and supply chain practices. The chapter presents three exemplar cases in Finnish and New Zealand natural resource sectors (forestry, agriculture and fishing). Our vignettes show how companies can develop activities and practices to address biodiversity loss.Biodiversity reduction is one of the most severe environmental challenges facing our planet. This chapter brings together existing research in sustainable supply chain management with empirical evidence of companies moving towards more sustainable business and supply chain practices. It presents three exemplar cases in Finnish and New Zealand natural resource sectors. The chapter seeks to shed more light on what is already known in the literature in order to further discussion on innovative business practices related to biodiversity, and to highlight the need for more research on the topic. It contends that biodiversity is a critical element of sustainability, which should be recognised as having intrinsic or inherent value, and be addressed more directly by all firms as part of strongly sustainable strategies and supply chains. The chapter presents initiatives taken by firms to enhance biodiversity in their operations and supply chains. Book Name: Strongly Sustainable Societies |
