Medium: How connecting ecosystem conversion and biodiversity reporting can protect nature at scale
19 Maret 2026
AFi and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) published an article on Medium about linking DCF efforts with biodiversity outcomes.
“For companies that produce or source agricultural commodities, understanding and addressing ecosystem conversion is essential to protecting nature and maintaining the resilience of supply chains. However, current sustainability reporting often fails to capture the full scale of these impacts. As a result, one of the biggest drivers of biodiversity loss remains largely invisible in many corporate disclosures.”
In a new article published on Medium, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Senior Manager Elodie Chêne, AFi Technical Manager Niall Robb, and AFi Lead Scientist Leah Samberg explore why companies must better connect their efforts to reduce deforestation and other ecosystem conversion with biodiversity outcomes.
Strengthening this link is crucial for improving accountability, enhancing transparency, and creating more effective incentives to protect nature. The article also highlights how GRI standards can help companies make this connection.
The Accountability Framework continues to play a critical role in underpinning GRI disclosures on ecosystem conversion, as well as informing other leading reporting initiatives, such as CDP and SBTi FLAG.
