  4. Respondents by type

  5. Which factors limit scaling up? No Limitation Major limitation

  6. Majorlimiting factors for scaling up? • View that SMB is unlikely to bring business benefits (ie. weak business case) 70% • Government policies do not encourage SMB 52% • Lack of values assigned to ecosystem services 50% • Lack of knowledge in business on the importance of biodiversity 46%

  7. Any other barriers we missed? “plain English is needed” “no penalties for disregarding biodiversity” “people fear change” “politicians… lack a sense of urgency” “shortage of existing accreditation schemes that cover the products we buy” “lack of pressure from investors” “absence of senior management leadership”

  8. The single solution?

  9. Categorisation of solutions

  10. In their own words…. “Legislate it” “True understanding of the value of ecosystem services” “..compulsory labelling system” “A progressive biodiversity impact tax” “Actions by govt for better land use allocation especially in frontier expansion areas” “..end perverse subsides”
