Why support?
Why would business leaders voice their support for ecocide law? What’s in it for the business sector?
Certainty
A clear, fair, safe, and predictable legal framework is necessary for all businesses to thrive
and a protection for their investors, insurers, and shareholders too.
Level Playing Field
Since businesses source and market all over the world, an international
ecocide legal framework protects vital ecosystems, setting boundaries for human
activities. At the same time, it levels the playing field for business and so contributes to
fair competition.
Innovation & Efficiency
Innovation thrives within set boundaries.
Those who act decisively, ensuring their business is taking a lead for the
future, are likely to be more successful than those who lag behind.
Employee engagement
Making that ethical choice may be a boost for your business,
helping you recruit the right talent. Increasingly, those who can pick and choose
are opting to work for organizations driven by a purpose beyond profit.
Ethics
Standing up for ecocide law is an ethical choice. It shows a commitment
to sustainable business that goes way beyond simply abiding by current regulations.
Ecocide law is a powerful way to protect biodiversity and human rights.
“Legal clarity will make it easier to operate sustainable and important business. I have always been a believer in clear, long term, responsible rules. I think they are a good thing in this area too.”
