Nature & Business Literacy + Guided Walk

We know that we are in a climate and nature crisis, and the time is now for nature to move up the sustainability agenda. As part of this push, the Wildlife Trusts are piloting a series of Nature Literacy Workshops, aimed at up-skilling business leaders on the risks and opportunities that are evolving in the natural capital space,

Surrey Wildlife Trust and the Sustainable Business Network invite you to a free, introductory workshop, that will overview the space and sector and give you tangible actions you can take back to your company. The workshop is designed for decision makers, sustainability leads and business leaders who are interested in discovering the risks and opportunities that are unfolding with relation to biodiversity, natural capital, and green finance. 

Event format:

• 1-hour introductory session led by Surrey Wildlife Trust CEO Sarah Jane Chimbwandira, who will guide you though the landscape of nature & business literacy, overviewing key themes, frameworks, and issues in the areas of green finance and natural capital.

• Q&A

• Guided walk around a beautiful secluded ancient woodland site, managed for nature by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. Nower Wood is a SNCI, noted for its prevalence of fungi species and other ancient woodland specific wildlife.

Refreshments will be provided.

We look forward to welcoming you to Nower Wood and helping you embed nature into your business,

Nature & Business Literacy is a breakthrough programme designed to empower corporate decision-makers with the insight and tools needed to navigate the risks—and seize the opportunities—of nature and climate breakdown. Tailored to each business, this flexible, modular programme is delivered online or in person at a pace that suits your team. Our flagship session for C-suite leaders goes straight to the heart of Board-level responsibility, equipping you with the confidence to assess and manage nature-related risks. Participants emerge with strategic outputs which can include a Corporate Biodiversity Strategy, Biodiversity Benchmark, and pathways to invest in nature-based solutions—placing nature at the core of long-term value creation.

This is an invite only event, for business leaders and sustainability professionals invited via SWT, Zero Carbon Guildford or the Reigate sustainable business group. If you have been forwarded the event and are interested in attending, please contact Charlie Thefaut for more information.
