The corporate sector can gain surprising
benefits from supporting biodiversity initiatives. Businesses
themselves have identified five major benefits from being
associated with a biodiversity partnership:
- increased publicity and media attention through supporting
high-profile projects
- a raised profile within the conservation community
- access to technical expertise and knowledge
- opportunities for staff to get involved in volunteering on
projects
- demonstration of active involvement in environmental and
community responsibilities
Suffolk Biodiversity Partnership is seeking business partners in
the county. If your business would like to discuss options such as
financially supporting our Project Fund, becoming a Champion of a
Biodiversity Action Plan species or habitat, or undertaking a
wildlife audit on your sites, please contact us.
Society must address the environmental issues facing us today
for the sake of our own well-being and for future generations. By
working together, members of Suffolk Biodiversity Partnership play
a strong role in halting the decline in biodiversity and mitigating
climate change challenges for our wildlife. We actively address
other threats such as habitat loss, the negative effects of alien
invasive species on our own native species and pollution.
