Why is this webinar topic important for environmental professionals?

Societal values can affect a company’s social license to operate when the company is perceived as having a negative impact on the environment. In recent years, maintaining social license has become imperative for natural resource extraction sectors.

Environmental professionals can use natural capital assessments to help identify all impacts and dependencies on the natural environment to help mitigate the loss of social license to operate.
