BIODIVERSITY CREDITS

OUR BIODIVERSITY CREDITS

With global biodiversity declining at a faster rate than at any time in human history, our ecosystems are in a state of crisis. The World Economic Forum estimates over 50% of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature, meaning the very survival of businesses is under threat.

The consequences of biodiversity loss pose more than a mere financial liability. Around the world, businesses are now undergoing rising pressure to disclose their dependencies and impacts on biodiversity, with voluntary frameworks becoming increasingly mandated worldwide.

Significant impact is already being seen throughout every stage of the supply chain, adversely affecting business operations across all industries globally. No business can avoid the ramifications of biodiversity loss unless they act now.

To become truly nature positive, businesses must go beyond simply reducing further impact, but also invest in restoring biodiversity already lost.

Biodiversity Credits

Biodiversity Credits are Environment Bank’s newest natural capital asset class, built upon the same robust principles that underpin the biodiversity net gain (BNG) statutory frameworks in England. Biodiversity Credits offer a high-integrity solution that provides businesses with a mechanism to achieve their nature positive targets, making meaningful and legitimate actions that net measurable, nature-positive outcomes.

Our Biodiversity Credit projects holistically deliver impactful uplifts for biodiversity and natural capital in a way that can tangibly be quantified for stakeholders. They also provide a measurable social impact, including improving job opportunities, boosting rural economies, offering better access to nature, and providing equitable economic outcomes for all.
