Nature and your Business

With over 50% of global GDP dependent on nature and its services, it's clear that businesses are much more reliant on nature than previously thought. Pollination, water quality and disease control are just three examples of the services an ecosystem can provide! In this video we have Ellen Shaddock, from AXA XL, to provide an overview of AXA XL’s new ‘Roots of Resilience’ sustainability strategy. Nature is at the heart of this strategy which addresses valuing nature and integrating it into AXA XL’s business operations. We’ll also get an introduction to AXA XL’s ‘Water Risk Insights’ report and why it’s important for businesses to consider nature and water risks.
