The built environment

We support better biodiversity management in the built environment, which has a large footprint but unrivalled opportunities for people to connect with nature. Our services for cities span all scales – sites, their surrounds and the supply chain. We see an opportunity for the wider built sector to take transformative action, set science-based targets for climate and nature, and ensure biodiversity is at the foundation of sustainability now and going forward.

Our services in the built environment include:

• Site-based services – critical habitat assessment, environmental impact assessment, net gain planning and biodiversity management plans
• Science-based targets for nature – road maps and target-setting to become nature positive
• Nature connectivity policy and programmes for connecting people with nature
• Supply chain screening for building materials and consumables
