The  International Finance Corporation, the private arm of the World Bank, 
launched  this Web-based guide to help companies operating in emerging markets 
understand,  manage, and benefit from biodiversity. The guide provides an 
overview of issues  surrounding biodiversity, including its importance to society 
and the  relationship of biodiversity to business. Through examples and links 
to other  information, this tool shows users how they can manage the business 
risks from  biodiversity issues, and how they can capitalize on business 
opportunities --  such as new markets -- that are associated with biodiversity 
maintenance and  protection.

The guide also features sector-specific biodiversity issues  for ten major 
industry sectors, as well as several case studies on how companies  (including a 
number of IFC clients) have addressed biodiversity issues in their  business 
operations.
