Every business, regardless of sector, size or location, relies heavily on nature to supply goods and services.
Businesses have historically omitted their dependencies on nature from their lists of priorities – and only now, slowly, is this beginning to change. There has been a decline of approximately 70% in global biodiversity since 1970. This decline, coupled with businesses’ lack of awareness of their dependency on nature and biodiversity, is having a significant impact on both the planet’s natural systems and business continuity. In addition, activities such as land clearing, crop production, and fertilisation contribute to 25% of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
As global ecosystem health declines, organisations face significant risks, including higher raw material and ingredient costs and increasing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and consumers. Organisations that choose to act now to restore nature can unlock value creation through new business models and product or service offerings, improve the attractiveness of their existing offerings, enhance their supply chain resilience, and lower their operating costs.
Anthesis supports business leaders to apply nature-positive solutions to their entire enterprise and to develop strategies to de-risk their supply chains and investment portfolios. Together, we can create a positive impact for both the natural world and businesses’ bottom lines by embracing innovations in sustainably derived materials, developing production methods that halt and reverse nature loss, and transforming business models that regenerate and restore ecosystem health.

Nature Services
Adding Value to Your Business and Accelerating a Nature-Positive Future
One of our strengths lies in developing customised plans to transition towards a future that contributes to a nature-positive world, aligned with the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and our planetary boundaries.
We support organisations to understand their interfaces with nature, the risks and opportunities these pose, and how to monitor progress.
Leveraging our in-depth expertise in ecology, environmental management, economics, and supply chains, our Nature Team is ready to propel your nature journey forward.
Water Stewardship
Understand your water-related dependencies and impacts, and develop Science-Based Targets and water stewardship strategies. Use these strategies to create accountability internally and externally around driving continuous improvement and action on shared water challenges.
Forest Positive
Develop a forest positive strategy that demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to implementing and investing in sustainable forestry practices. Support this strategy by crafting and implementing effective policies to ensure deforestation and conversion-free supply chains.
Regenerative Agriculture
Craft a regenerative agriculture strategy that drives value creation for your organisation. Be part of the movement to redefine our food systems’ relationship with nature by creating clear roadmaps to engage suppliers and farmers in contributing to a nature-positive future.
Ocean Positive
Develop an ocean-positive strategy that ensures investment in responsible ocean practices and contributes resources to regenerate marine ecosystems. By crafting effective policies, drive collective action among peers in the shipping, fishing, aquaculture, energy and tourism sectors.
Knowledge of benefits, costs and effects are crucial elements in the process of developing local programmes of measures in order to reach good ecological and chemical status. The project carried out by Anthesis has therefore been an important part in implementing the action plan for good water status in all waterbodies of the City of Stockholm.
