The five members of the Independent Expert Panel, set up through the IUCN-Holcim partnership agreement, have finalized their proposal for a BMS and presented it to the conservation community convened in Nagoya. The principal purpose of the BMS is to include biodiversity systematically in all planning and operational processes of the company. It is expected that the BMS will encourage others to follow the IUCN-Holcim model of collaboration.
