Our work is deeply rooted in steadfast ecological integrity and guided by the leading biodiversity frameworks.
The land for every project is carefully selected for its potential to offer the greatest possible sustainable gain. But we also put in place the resources to guarantee our projects deliver more than just uplifts in local biodiversity.
To meet our core project criteria, and to assess our wider impact, we measure the potential for carbon sequestration, water quality regulation, air quality regulation, and community enrichment.
Through this extensive data collection, project partners can witness their investment in nature positive actions materialise as tangible biodiversity uplifts, all evidenced through our smart data platform and comprehensive annual reports.
Monitoring, reporting and verification
All our projects are underpinned by the Statutory Biodiversity Metric for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) as established by the UK Government Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
We also exceed the monitoring requirements for BNG in England, using the latest collection methods and innovative technologies to gather a broad variety of extensive data sets. This allows us to capture the complexity of natural systems and anticipate the needs of future reporting framework standards.
Each project is verified through one of Environment Bank’s associated, industry-approved third-party partners to ensure our reported results withstand rigorous auditing.
