From Seed to Bloom: How Nature Anchors and Elevates Business

The Nature Hub @CWNYC2025

Tuesday 23rd September 2025
16:30 - 17:30 (EDT), New York City (US)

How does business thrive through a lasting relationship with nature?
This panel explores how businesses across sectors can unlock long-term resilience and performance by embedding nature at the heart of their strategy. It will examine the challenges and business evidence required to anchor, structure, and drive ambitious nature strategies – showing how nature can become a core lever of business success and deliver value for both company, people and planet.

Inspired by the architecture of natural systems, the session will unfold in three layers:
– The Roots: where companies assess impacts and dependencies on nature to set the most meaningful and ambitious, science-based targets.
– The Pollinators: where allies and messages in the business translate understanding into impactful actions embedded across the business model.
– The Canopy: where nature creates value – financial and beyond – for the business, communities and the planet.

Drawing on voices from the business sector, this panel will demonstrate how investing in nature can drive resilience, and long lasting performance – across sectors and at scale.
