About Environment Bank

Part of the Gresham House Sustainable Infrastructure Fund portfolio, providing £240M Environment Bank are establishing a network of high-quality, landscape-scale Habitat Banks nationwide. With over 6,000 acres of habitat creation currently underway, they are pioneering a new mechanism for nature recovery through private investment.

Working in close collaboration with Natural England and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), Environment Bank have helped shape nature recovery policy and guidance in the UK leading to the successful implementation of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), one of the most essential pieces of environmental legislation passed in the UK.

Most recently, the Environment Bank team has been working alongside the leading biodiversity-related organisations and policymakers, such as TNFD, SBTN and UKBBF, and are now offering high-integrity nature-based solutions enabling businesses to deliver on their positive goals with meaningful and robust results for nature and communities.
