Business and nature
We are biodiversity consultants with years of experience in evidence-based, effective nature strategies and metrics for businesses.
Nature strategies for business
Businesses that proactively manage how they interact with and impact on the natural world can support nature, for everyone’s benefit. Our 15+ years leading the field of business and biodiversity tells us that the most effective way to do this is through a science-led approach.
But science itself can’t solve the issues our clients face if the solutions are not workable in the business context. It’s the combination of business innovation and scientific insight that enables the successful integration of biodiversity and nature into an effective sustainability strategy.
From international performance standards for development projects, to nature-based solutions and science-based targets that reveal risks and opportunities across global value chains, we connect businesses with nature so you can understand your opportunities and risks, and design a pathway to achieve your sustainability ambitions.
Your business can transform its relationship with nature. We can help you make that happen.

Biodiversity credits are an emerging market proposition and, in the future, will be available to verify the positive outcomes of a project. While the mechanisms are evolving, there are multiple ways we support companies, projects and credit developers to create and demonstrate biodiversity value.

No deforestation and no conversion commitments are a critical component of both climate and biodiversity strategies, and a fundamental part of corporate approaches to nature positive.
