About this Event

Biodiversity Summit 2025: Reimagining Biodiversity in British Business

A summit for business leaders rethinking nature, responsibility, and relevance

21–22 October | Houses of Parliament + Arup, London | In-person only

Biodiversity is becoming an essential part of how businesses think about purpose, resilience, and long-term value.

This two-day Summit brings together brand leaders, investors, policymakers, and academics to discuss and make progress on how nature is influencing business strategy: not just in reporting, but in identity, communications, and operations.

With a focus on case studies, tools, and honest conversation, the Summit offers a chance to reflect on your organisation’s direction and connect with others navigating similar questions.

Why Attend

This is not a summit about checklists. It is about storytelling, influence, and potential.

Whether your business is just beginning or already leading, you will gain:

  • Clarity on why biodiversity matters to your business, and how to act on it
  • Practical takeaways to evolve your ethos, operations, and communications
  • Real stories from UK brands making bold shifts
  • Ideas and tools to help you keep going
  • Connections with people who do not usually gather, but should

This is a moment to contribute, reflect, and explore what comes next.
