Encourages and enables businesses, in particular large and transnational companies and financial institutions, to regularly monitor, assess and transparently disclose their risks, dependencies and impacts on biodiversity.

Target 3 · “30x30”

At least 30% of land, inland waters and coastal and marine areas effectively conserved and managed by 2030.

Target 2 · Restoration

At least 30% of degraded ecosystems under effective restoration by 2030.

Target 7 · Pollution

From global goals to company action

Frameworks like TNFD, ESRS E4 and SBTN are the practical routes through which companies contribute to these targets.
