Let’s close the gap

Navigating corporate biodiversity and protecting ecosystems

As a company, how do you begin strategically working with biodiversity? Your journey starts by seeing nature as a partner, rather than an infinite resource.

Healthy ecosystems are our life source and loss of biodiversity has serious consequences. Currently, one million plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. By actively integrating nature-positive solutions, businesses can continue to flourish while protecting and restoring biodiversity.

To close the gap, we must leave nature in a better state than before as we shape tomorrow’s societies. We must design green spaces and create more room for nature in our cities to improve our health and the environment.

Let’s step up for nature.

Take action for better biodiversity outcomes

:
Nature positive
Each company and project should aim to be nature positive, meaning it leaves nature in a better state than how it was found. We help do this by enhancing and restoring the natural environment still while maintaining food, medicine supplies, and raw materials for manufacturing and essential infrastructure such as offshore wind farms, transportation routes, and cities.
:
Nature based solutions
The natural world can be used to improve human made solutions, such as blue-green infrastructure, which restores urban biodiversity whilst preventing flooding. Both require multidisciplinary skills and expertise to ensure solutions are tailored appropriately for local conditions.
:
Targets, action & monitoring
Our biodiversity experts work closely with clients to set science-based targets, and develop action plans and evidence claims through effective monitoring strategies to deliver on their nature-positive ambitions.
