About the Investor Engagement Brief Series
The series provides practical guidance for investors on engaging with high-impact sectors to achieve the greatest impact on nature. The Pharmaceutical sector alone accounts for approximately 4% of total biodiversity impacts among companies in the MSCI World Index, highlighting the importance of informed engagement to reduce impacts on land, water, emissions and waste.
As part of this series, participants will gain insight into:
- Practical engagement strategies and questions for investor–company dialogue
- How the sector can contribute to achieving the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets
We will be publishing further Sector Briefs on Chemicals, Forestry, Paper & Packaging, Food & Agriculture, and Metals & Mining over the next few months – details to follow.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive session for FfB members and Nature Action 100 investors.
