Peatland Code Launch

We are delighted to announce that we will be launching the Peatland Code at the World Forum on Natural Capital. The Code, which has been developed to help businesses fund peatland restoration projects in the UK, has completed its pilot phase and now this innovative scheme will be shared with business leaders from across the world.

Following on from the networking event on the first evening of the World Forum, Paul Vaight, Chair of the Peatland Code, and Mark Wilson from Interface, will introduce the Code and explain why it deserves business backing.
