Disclaimer

The Nature Action Portal has been developed in the name of WBCSD. Like other WBCSD resources, it is the result of collaborative efforts by representatives from member companies and external experts. A wide range of member companies reviewed the content, and thus, the content broadly represents the perspective of WBCSD membership.  Input and feedback from external stakeholders were also incorporated via open stakeholder consultation sessions and review periods held throughout the content development process for the Roadmaps and the Portal. This does not mean, however, that every member company or stakeholder agrees with every word. The content has been developed for general informational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon as accounting, tax, legal or other professional advice.
