N2 - This paper examines the evolving landscape of biodiversityreporting standards, describes their underlying rationale andanticipated effects, and highlights unresolved issues thatimpede the provision of ‘good’ information to markets and otherreport users. While a variety of reporting regulations exist, theydo not point to a common ground for reporting. They addressdifferent aspects of corporate biodiversity impact and adoptdifferent conceptions of assurance and materiality. Given theearly stage of this field, further research is needed on what bestpractice informational governance may entail.
