Managing the business and biodiversity relationship: a Systematic Review

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the management literature has shown a growing interest in biodiversity, leading to an increase in studies examining how companies relate to biodiversity. Although valuable, this stream of literature remains fragmented, hindering a systemic understanding of the relationship between business and biodiversity. Through a systematic literature review, we conducted an in-depth analysis of 97 articles to provide a holistic and detailed picture of the elements and dynamics underlying the relationship between business and biodiversity. To this end, the review investigates the drivers and barriers of corporate biodiversity management, types and roles of stakeholders involved, strategic approaches, and main outcomes.
