The Corporate Role in Preserving the Ecological and Economic Benefits of Bats
Sponsored by Ontario Power Generation
Bats are a unique group of animals with ecological, economical and cultural significance around the world. They are ubiquitous, with 1,300 species living on every continent but Antarctica. Insectivorous bats save agriculture billions of dollars through predation of a multitude of agricultural pests. Other bats eat fruit and nectar, acting as pollinators and spreading seeds of the fruit they eat, proving essential to the success of many food products like tequila and chocolate, consequently contributing to the global economy. With increased need, heightened interest and accessible technology, now is an opportune time for corporate landowners to engage in bat conservation projects.

The Private Sector Role in Reconnecting Habitat for Ecosystem Health and Resiliency
Sponsored by Bruce Power
Healthy habitats are necessary for plants and animals to survive and thrive. One measure of the health of a habitat is the degree to which it is isolated from other habitats by land management practices or development, commonly referred to as fragmentation. Fragmentation is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity across the planet, as it can prevent species from moving to hunt, mate, disperse to new areas or escape predators. When corporate landowners engage in ecological connectivity initiatives to reduce fragmentation, they are contributing to landscape-scale efforts that have benefits beyond the corporate footprint and across the entire ecoregion.

Living solutions to environmental challenges on corporate lands
Sponsored by Heidelberg Materials
Green infrastructure is versatile, beneficial and well-suited to corporate properties of all types — from industrial facilities and suburban corporate campuses, to office buildings in dense urban areas. While the specific techniques, project scale and designs will vary from location to location, the principles of green infrastructure are universally applicable. Green infrastructure is therefore remarkably versatile as a solution for corporate landscapes.

How Companies are Prioritizing Species of Concern Conservation Programs
Sponsored by the Alliance for America’s Fish & Wildlife
In the U.S., 80 percent of the habitat that species listed under the Endangered Species Act depend on exists on private lands. Therefore, leadership by business, across all scales of land holdings, is essential to species protection and recovery. These businesses understand that compliance with endangered species conservation programs generate a return on investment that can include reduced costs, a secured social license to operate and an increase in public support.

How Companies Leverage Business Needs for Positive Environmental Outcomes
Sponsored by Boeing
Companies involved in remediation are moving beyond meeting regulatory requirements and increasingly adopting conservation-based approaches to site cleanup and reuse. In doing so, they are not simply returning sites to their former states, but leveraging conservation to transform liabilities into ecological, community and corporate assets.
