Abstract The increased of consumerism stimulated by the growth of world population increased the agricultural, industrial and energy sectors productions. Thus, environmental resources were explored quickly, leading to biodiversity loss and climate change. Intent to reduce these problems, several international multi-sectoral agreements developed as an attempt to mitigate and minimize the environmental impacts suffering by the planet. Due to high economic relevance and their activities causing recognized environmental damage, the agrarian, energy and industrial sectors are at the centre of the environmental discussion. These sectors have already been developing mitigations of environmental damage, but it still exists little debate about whether the actions developed are enough to supply the stock of natural resources provided by ecosystems. In this context, the project FAPESP #2017/24013-5 ongoing in Brazil are investigating the mechanism that explains the association with interference between sustainability practices and biodiversity conservation actions in natural areas. The leading Brazilian project was divided into four stages, being this research internship abroad will develop the stage (3), looking to evaluate the ecosystem services provision rate from natural areas surrounding companies analyzed in the stages developed in the lead project. So, unifying results of both projects (Brazilian stages [1, 2 and 4] and stage [3] the UK), will possibility infer how much organizations consume from natural areas and how much they should stimulate by environmental conservation actions to restock ecosystem services.
