It includes promoting biodiversity-related information disclosure and supporting financial and economic mechanisms, including incentive measures, to encourage conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The SEC also referenced its ongoing biodiversity-related sustainability work with listed companies, including training and seminars, communication materials, and tools to support voluntary participation in meeting biodiversity targets under the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans.
