Second Workshop on the Natural Value Initiative
3 September 2007 | Sao Paulo, Brazil
Following on from a similar workshop held in London in August 2007, UNEP FI in collaboration with Flora & Fauna International and Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) - joint partners in the Natural Value Initiative (NVI) - hosted an NVI workshop in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event aimed to share examples of best practice management of biodiversity and ecosystem services risks within the food and beverage sectors, and inform the development of a benchmarking tool for the finance sector to enable the industry to gain a better understanding of the significance biodiversity and ecosystem services impacts and risks.
The workshop, hosted by BOVESPA, the Brazilian Stock Exchange, was well-attended with 48 participants from the finance sector, food, beverage and agro-industrial sectors, academia and the NGO community. This event, combined with additional one-to-one discussions with key stakeholders and the results of the earlier workshop in the UK, will be used to inform the NVI’s strategy going forward.
