Biodiversity

For a long time, the steps that have been taken in favor of the environment at the business level have mostly been linked to the challenges of climate change. However, the focus on the protection of biological diversity is increasing, as the protection of the biosphere is one of the most urgent challenges facing humanity.

Experts from many parts of the academic community and the business world were brought in to participate in its preparation, and we thank them for that.
