### Relationship to Lemu

WBCSD is an important convening platform for business action on sustainability, including nature and biodiversity. Its guidance on corporate reporting, nature-positive pathways, and alignment with [TNFD](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/tnfd/), [SBTN](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/sbtn/), and [GBF](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/gbf/) provides a complementary space where Lemu’s Nature Intelligence can strengthen corporate action with verifiable, science-based insights.
