But what does it mean?
The Terra Carta provides a roadmap to 2030 for businesses to move towards a more ambitious and sustainable future: one that will harness the power of Nature combined with the transformative power, innovation and resources of the private sector. The global business proposition outlines ten areas for action and comprises of nearly 100 actions for business as the basis of a recovery plan that puts Nature, People and Planet at the heart of global creation.

About the Terra Carta
Deriving its name from the historic Magna Carta, which inspired a belief in the fundamental rights and liberties of people over 800 years ago, the Terra Carta aims to reunite people and planet by giving fundamental rights and values to Nature, ensuring a lasting impact and tangible legacy for this generation.

In the words of HRH the Prince of Wales:
“The ‘Terra Carta’ offers the basis of a recovery plan that puts Nature, People and Planet at the heart of global value creation – one that will harness the precious, irreplaceable power of Nature combined with the transformative innovation and resources of the private sector.” HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES
