This discussion paper explores the growing urgency for stronger social impact measurement amid rising expectations around ESG, Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), and sustainability reporting. Through the lens of Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA), the paper highlights how businesses can move beyond reporting activities toward understanding and measuring social outcomes across the value chain.

The publication examines the evolution of corporate sustainability approaches, the growing challenges surrounding the “S” in ESG, regulatory developments, and practical examples of S-LCA implementation in business and supply chain contexts.

Developed by the Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD) in collaboration with Business for Nature and informed by extensive consultations with private sectors and relevant government stakeholders, KIRANAS serves as an implementation roadmap to help businesses integrate biodiversity considerations into corporate strategies, operations, investment decisions, and supply chains. The roadmap is designed to ensure alignment with Indonesia’s national priorities and global frameworks, including the Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP) 2025–2045, FOLU Net Sink 2030, Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF).

As biodiversity increasingly shapes business resilience, supply chain stability, market access, and long-term competitiveness, KIRANAS provides businesses with strategic guidance, priority action areas, and practical pathways to move from commitment to implementation. Through a nature-positive approach, the roadmap encourages businesses to not only reduce environmental impacts, but also actively contribute to ecosystem protection, restoration, and sustainable economic transformation in Indonesia.

Download the document to explore how businesses can strengthen biodiversity action and accelerate collective impact toward a more resilient and nature-positive future.

The global “take-make-waste” economy is driving unsustainable resource use, contributing to 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. With global waste projected to soar to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050, we are consuming resources 1.75 times faster than Earth can regenerate. Waste management companies have a vital role to play in reversing this trend by promoting prevention, reduction, recycling, and circular economy practices. By transforming operations and value chains, the sector can help reduce pressure on nature and contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework’s goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 through more sustainable resource and waste systems.

The agri-food system, which spans from input supply to food disposal, sustains 2.5 billion livelihoods and feeds the global population. However, it heavily depends on—and simultaneously threatens—biodiversity and ecosystems. Agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, impacting 86% of species at risk of extinction. Despite these challenges, the sector holds immense potential to drive nature-positive change. To ensure food security, human health, and ecological balance, a rapid transformation in how food is produced, sourced, and consumed is critical. Sector-specific actions guide businesses in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework’s mission to reverse nature loss by 2030.

As demand rises, the cement and concrete sector must act now to align with nature-positive and net-zero goals. While some companies already operate under strict regulations and industry-led sustainability efforts like those by the Global Cement and Concrete Association, the sector still contributes to nature loss through emissions, water use, and quarrying. To support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission, sector-specific actions have been developed to guide companies in transforming their practices and reducing environmental impacts across the value chain.

The energy system, including oil, gas, and utilities, plays a critical role in both driving and addressing nature loss. It encompasses all aspects of energy production, conversion, storage, delivery, and use. With high greenhouse gas emissions and intensive land and water use, the sector significantly impacts nature and faces risks to business continuity. However, it also holds vast potential to support nature-positive outcomes, as energy is essential across industries and households. A guideline of Energy sector actions has been developed to align energy systems with the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission to halt and reverse nature loss.

Forest companies, managing around 30% of the world’s forests for wood production, are key players in achieving a nature-positive and net-zero future. Their operations rely heavily on healthy ecosystems, especially for long-term wood fiber supply. However, long harvest cycles make them vulnerable to climate and nature-related risks. To address these challenges and meet rising demand sustainably, the forest sector must transition to an inclusive circular bioeconomy, using wood from responsibly managed forests. A new guidance report outlines sector actions needed to transform business practices and support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 goals.
