This report is an outcome of an exploratory workshop held by IUCN in October 2013, and subsequent discussions in 2014, of a working group of relevant business and conservation experts (see authorship and participation on page 3). The working group was convened by IUCN’s Global Business and Biodiversity Programme. It is the beginning of a sector-specific discussion on the application and challenges of NPI approaches in business sectors with significant biodiversity impacts.
