Nature means business: an executive dinner with Bupa & Patch

7th May, 2026 | 6:15 - 10 PM BST

Hear how Bupa is turning nature into business value over dinner in London

About the event

Nature isn’t a cost centre, it’s a growth strategy.

Patch is hosting an executive dinner in conjunction with Bupa in London to unpack the business case for investing in nature: from ecosystem restoration and biodiversity to high‑integrity carbon markets.

Kaya Axelsson, Head of Policy and Partnerships at Oxford Net Zero, will open with the case for investing in nature: why leading companies are backing restoration, biodiversity, and high‑integrity carbon as core risk management and strategy. Bupa will then talk through their nature-first strategy, how it's built into their business, and how they are using carbon removal credits toward their net‑zero goals.

We’ll explore the frameworks, procurement approaches, and governance models that turn nature from a narrative into a balance‑sheet asset.
