Support the Make It Mandatory campaign

Although COP15 took place in December and a new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework has been agreed and adopted, businesses can still sign up to and support the COP15 business statement on mandatory assessment and disclosure and join companies from across the globe that helped convince governments at COP15 to require all large businesses and financial institutions to assess and disclose their impacts and dependencies on nature by 2030.  

You can also help amplify your support by accessing, sharing and publicly using our updated Make It Mandatory signatory resources.

By signing the statement, you will be automatically added to our 'Nature is Everyone's Business Call to Action urging governments to adopt ambitious policies to reverse nature loss this decade, if your company hasn’t signed already. The pages are available in 中文, Español, Français, Bahasa Indonesia.
