opportunities associated with corporate
reliance on, and impacts to, ecosystem
services.
In April 2011, WBCSD released
the Guide to Corporate Ecosystem

kind, catering directly to the needs of
business. The Guide is a framework for
improving corporate decision-making
through valuing ecosystem services, and
a set of resources to navigate through

organization.
