Society and the market are placing increasing demands on corporate sustainability efforts. At Business & Biodiversity Sweden, we focus on business-based sustainability, strategic brand-building and increased competitiveness.
Business & Biodiversity Sweden is the leading sustainability network for large corporations and trade organisations that want to be at the forefront with their sustainability work, drive development and work with biodiversity as part of their business model.
The membership provides companies with access to a knowledge platform with exchange of ideas, lectures and training. We go in-depth into concepts that are becoming increasingly relevant, and follow global business intelligence, international trends, research and development. Above all, the network provides the opportunity to meet, discuss and be inspired within a forum where engagement counts higher than prior knowledge.
“Business intelligence and the breadth of the network create value for us! The network’s issues are continuously being updated, and here we get to exchange experiences with several different industries.”

Seeking solutions for how we can restore the planet’s dwindling resources is in the interest of all mankind. If we want to reverse the downward curve, we need to collaborate on risks, challenges and opportunities.
We should consider nature as capital that can no longer be degraded. We have been able to live off interest for a long time, but when capital runs out, reinvestments are needed. The business community has a great responsibility here, since every activity has an impact on natural capital. The solution is sustainable business models that promote growth and development.
Ecogain is Sweden's leading knowledge company in biodiversity and ecosystem services with a focus on business development. We support societal actors in developing sustainable business models, from strategic issues at management level to ground-level initiatives in the field. With Business & Biodiversity Sweden, we want to create a meeting place for member companies to share knowledge, ideas and experiences and be inspired by leading experts.
Biodiversity as part of the business model is a relatively unexplored path in Sweden. In light of that insight, Ecogain has identified the need for a forum to meet and exchange knowledge, ideas and experiences.

The network is aimed at large companies and trade organisations that work with sustainable business and community building. Prior knowledge is not essential; what counts is the interest and willingness to move forward with the issues of biodiversity, natural capital and entrepreneurship.
Membership of Business & Biodiversity Sweden provides companies with access to a relevant knowledge platform for exchange of experiences, external monitoring, trends, research and development. The network is also a forum for meetings with other industries, decision-makers and stakeholders in Swedish business.
The purpose of the network meetings is to inspire, share knowledge and experiences, push boundaries and pave the way for change and development. This can take place at a physical or digital meeting, with lectures, workshops, webinars and study visits.
The members of Business & Biodiversity Sweden represent a wide range of industries. What unites them is a desire to grow sustainably, drive development and work with biodiversity as part of their business model.
