What does the world's No. 1 cement maker want from the COP15 biodiversity conference in Montreal, Canada?
First, a framework for companies. Second, a commitment to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030, Magali Anderson, Holcim's chief sustainability and innovation officer, says during the livestream discussion "Time for nature: Turning biodiversity risk into opportunity," hosted by GZERO in partnership with Suntory.
"I think we just don't have a choice there. It's not even a question of a wishlist or whatever," she adds. "It's a question of do we want the planet to still be liveable for everything that's alive in 10 years or not. That's all it is about."
