Biodiversity is no longer only an issue of biology or nature conservation, but it is interlinked to climate change, natural resources, poverty, population growth, and economic growth especially in developing countries. Corporations are expected to not only commit in these sustainable development agenda through social contribution but through transforming their ways of business. Leading multinational corporations are recognizing the need for an integrated approach to such sustainable development agendas. The article analyses the background and trend in the corporate social responsibility(CSR)realm in relation to contribution to biodiversity by corporate sector and looks at the current trend of bringing natural capital into economic and corporate decision making, and the role of multi- stakeholder engagement learning from the experiences in environmental impact assessment processes.
