E-learning Programme on Business & Nature
About
Businesses both depend on and impact nature. From water and soil to pollination and raw materials, every supply chain relies on healthy ecosystems.
Ignoring this reality exposes organisations to financial, reputational, and regulatory risks, but it also limits their potential for innovation and resilience.
Together with the Financial Times, InTent is launching a four-hour online Education Programme designed for leaders who want to understand why biodiversity is central to business performance and how to integrate nature into their strategy.
Participants gain insights from leading experts, case studies from pioneering companies, and a certificate of completion with a digital badge.
By invitation only.
Key learnings
By the end of the programme, participants will:
1. Understand why nature matters to business
Gain a clear understanding of the key dependencies businesses have on nature, from resources and raw materials to ecosystem services, and the financial, reputational, and regulatory risks of ignoring them.
2. Navigate the evolving nature-related landscape
Explore the frameworks, policies, and regulations influencing business and nature, including the Global Biodiversity Framework, TNFD, and IFRS S1/S2. Learn about the tools and metrics used to assess nature-related risks and impacts, and how to apply them within your organisation.
3. Translate data into strategy
Recognise emerging trends in corporate disclosure, investor expectations, and nature-based financial instruments. Understand how to integrate nature-related factors into financial decision-making, reporting, and investment strategies.
4. Embed nature into business practice
Identify best practices for incorporating nature considerations into governance, strategy, and risk management. Discover how leading companies are innovating through product design, circular economy approaches, and sustainable supply chains to improve traceability and reduce environmental impacts.
5. Drive transformation through collaboration
Examine how cross-sector collaboration and partnerships, between business, finance, academia, and civil society, can accelerate progress towards a nature-positive economy and long-term resilience.

Towards a nature-positive economy
Supporting the Business & Nature programme reflects InTent’s mission to accelerate systemic change through education and cross-sector collaboration.
It helps leaders value all forms of capital, natural, human, social, and financial, and turn insight into action.
As nature becomes a defining factor of business success, this initiative invites decision-makers to rethink prosperity, not as growth against nature, but as progress with it.
