'This research sheds new light on an area of lobbying that has largely been able to slip under the radar and should act as a wake-up call to policymakers ahead of the U.N.'s upcoming biodiversity conference,' said InfluenceMap's program manager.

"Companies and their trade associations must align their lobbying activities with biosphere integrity.", the U.K.-based think tank InfluenceMap examined over 750 pieces of evidence related to a dozen business associations. Members of the groups"include some of the world's largest and most powerful companies," the report states, such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Bank of America, ExxonMobil, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Samsung, Saudi Aramco, and Toyota.

"The research showed that these industry associations are opposed to almost all major biodiversity-relevant policies and regulations, with 89% of the policy engagement analyzed found to be aimed at blocking progress on addressing biodiversity loss," the report says.
