A recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development suggested so-called eco-system services such as crop pollination and water purification were worth up to US$140 trillion a year.

Despite that, 55 per cent of respondents had not taken action to progress their commitments over the past year and 70 per cent did not assess the impact of their supply chain on biodiversity, CDP said.
