So they want to make sure that they are able to  also offset some of those negative impacts and create some positive  benefits as well. &nbsp; One of the main things that we&#8217;re hoping to do is  set the stage for a potential offset market. &nbsp;So what we&#8217;re trying to do  is make this tactical, make it something that the private sector can  easily access and incorporate ecosystem services assessments into things  like their corporate sustainability reporting system. &nbsp;It&#8217;s something  that a lot of companies are concerned about now for social license, but  also things like getting into new business opportunities. <br \/><\/span><br \/>Thanks today to<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> Alberta Innovates&nbsp;&nbsp;
