This panel discussion will highlight the growing responsibility of the data centre and technology sectors to move beyond carbon reduction and address the broader ecological impacts of their developments. As well as mitigating harm, there is opportunity for those in the built environment sector to actively regenerate ecosystems by learning from nature’s patterns and processes. Our esteemed speakers will emphasise importance of strategic land stewardship, illustrating how global tech companies are increasingly embedding biodiversity metrics into site selection and development processes.
Delegates will leave with an understanding of the risks that biodiversity loss poses to business continuity and resilience, and how leading organisations are advocating for nature-positive frameworks that align climate adaptation with ecosystem protection.
