The World Business Council for Sustainable Development has launched Eco4Biz , a suite of tools designed for businesses seeking to assess , measure and evaluate the natural resources they use.
The toolkit is published as a report called Eco4Biz – Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity Tools to Support Business Decision -Making . The WBCSD said the report provides a "one-stop resource " that will help environmental managers and companies navigate and choose from a range of available tools to better understand how they rely on nature and therefore make decisions Smarter, better sustainability decisions.
Eco4Biz has a decision tree ( pictured ) that can help organize tools to organize what rating scales may be needed and what types of results the organization prefers . Tools are defined as focusing primarily on ecosystem services (e.g. provisioning , regulatory and cultural services ) or biodiversity . WBCSD said that as more companies actively measure, manage and mitigate their impacts and dependence on nature , the toolkit will be updated regularly to keep pace with developments .
The toolkit was developed in collaboration with Telegram Number Data WBCSD member and non- member companies, NGOs , academic institutions and tool developers.
In April , the WBSCD released a report calling on companies to develop and implement a more comprehensive approach to watersheds that considers upstream and downstream interactions, direct and indirect impacts, and environmental needs.
According to Sharing Water: Engaging Business , for many businesses , this approach is a more cost-effective way to reduce water -related risks and improve reputation through new revenue prospects, , improved compliance and cost savings provide significant benefits and opportunities.
2007 , WBSCD launched a free global water tool that companies can use to map their water use and assess the risks associated with their global operations and supply chains.
The device is part of a comprehensive PGClear field trial underway at Rice University, DuPont Central Research Center and Stanford University . Researchers say PPGClear can gently but quickly destroy some of the world's most common and problematic pollutants . It uses a combination of palladium and gold metals to break down hazardous compounds such as vinyl chloride , trichlorethylene ( also known as TCE ) and chloroform into non -toxic by-products.
According to the 6-by-8 -foot DuPont device package , groundwater is piped into a series of tubes, each containing thousands of palladium catalyst beads. The particles , about the size of a grain of rice, trigger a chemical reaction that breaks down chloroform into nontoxic methane and chloride salts.
