The Company and Ecosystemic Services
Ecosystemic goods and services are indirect or direct contributions that eco-systems make to human wellbeing and its activities. These contributions can be resources or processes and provide benefits that can be divided into three types: ecological, socio-cultural and economic. It is noteworthy that a specific resource can generate several specific services. For example, fishing provides us with food and also a cultural identity (fishermen), and leisure and entertainment. In the same way, there are individuals and companies that often benefit from ecosystemic services without noticing them or appreciating their value.
