Nice work. Let us not forget that declarations such a CSRD could be adapted as a charter for land-owning businesses (a version of 'Corporates'). If nature depletion is to be tackled at source, that source is, in a UK context, farms and estates. Nature depletion is the landowners' ' smoke stack ', and a liability of the same order as a corporate smoke stack emitting GHGs. So, as we do for cleaning up emissions, replenishing nature is a cost at source which can be passed along supply chains, including shareholders
Very interesting idea David. I wonder how we could make sure that such policy doesn't pressure the less wealthy landowners even more. Ideally, those benefitting from the land should be held responsible & that isn't always the landowners themselves.
This reminds me of Henry's George's work on land tax.

Thanks so much for this super useful review of CSRD and raising the right questions.
Thanks Manuela! Some thinking out loud:)
now this is what I call in-depth content 👌
