Biodiversity as an Asset Class Ep 1: Removing Barriers to Action

Extractive practices, short term profit maximization and shareholder capitalism are accelerating the extinction of life on Earth. What measures must be taken to end such destructive processes? Andre Hoffmann the Chairman of Massellaz explores how a stakeholder approach underpinned by a new accounting system with a long term outlook is essential to safeguarding biodiversity and natural systems.

Biodiversity as an Asset Class is a five episode series that profiles leading global thinkers on how we must reconstruct our economic system in order to protect nature and the future of life on Earth. Episodes explore topics that include removing barriers to action, the valuation of natural capital, a nature-positive business approach, and the role of philanthropic capital.
