—Prof. Ximena Rueda Fajardo, Co-chair of the #BizBiodiversity Assessment.

The quote from Professor Ximena Rueda Fajardo, Co-chair of the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment, reads: "Engaging with nature is not optional for business – it is a necessity. Businesses are both beneficiaries of nature, and major contributors to its decline – so they have a critical role in ensuring the wise stewardship of our environment. This is vital for their bottom line, long-term prosperity and the transformative change needed for more just and sustainable futures." The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The background features colorful Brazilian currency notes showing wildlife illustrations.
