Description
Join us on 2 June 2026 for a dynamic session bringing together corporate leaders, decision-makers, and policy experts. Three European companies will present concrete projects aimed at restoring critical ecosystems across Europe.
European Central Bank analysis shows that 72% of companies in the euro area depend heavily on at least one ecosystem service such as pollination, clean water, healthy soils or raw biological resources. Continued nature degradation creates direct risks for supply chains, production systems, and long-term investment planning.
Investing in nature is therefore essential to secure Europes prosperity, resilience, and competitiveness. The EU already has a strong legislative framework to protect and restore crucial ecosystems, with the Nature Restoration Regulation, and the Birds and Habitats Directives, to name a few. These laws already provide ecological foundations that many businesses rely on, from water availability and soil fertility to pollination and climate resilience.
As EU Green Week 2026 highlights the importance of investing in nature, this event will demonstrate how corporate leadership can strengthen Europe’s capacity to restore ecosystems while delivering measurable economic benefits. Speakers will showcase tangible business solutions to biodiversity loss and illustrate how strong EU nature laws enable long-term investment and resilience for the European economy and companies operating in the Single market.
The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session, offering participants an opportunity to explore business cases for nature restoration in depth, with the moderator encouraging exchanges between speakers and attendees.
This event is open to anyone interested in business engagement in nature protection and restoration, particularly within EU environmental policy. It is especially relevant for EU policymakers and policy experts, businesses and business associations, and EU-based media.
