What can we help with?
Alignment with Lender Standards and Good International Industry Practice
The Biodiversity Consultancy has played a significant role in shaping and applying the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standard 6 (PS6) since 2012, giving us a deep, in-depth technical knowledge of the standard and a unique skill set to support clients wishing to fulfil PS6 requirements. Our extensive portfolio and detailed working knowledge also include other lenders' standards such as the Equator Principles, EBRD's PR6, ADB's ESS6, and AfDB's OS3.
Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD)
Our experts undertake bespoke and stand-alone biodiversity due diligence, or as part of an environmental and social due diligence (ESDD). We have particular expertise in challenging projects in highly biodiverse areas or where there are threatened species.
Corporate Biodiversity Strategy
Our experts support global renewable energy developers and mining companies to develop leading biodiversity strategies that drive real‑world impact. Building on deep sector experience across renewable energy and metals and minerals, we help corporate clients set clear and credible levels of ambition that position them as leaders among their peers.
Biodiversity Sensitivity and Risk Mapping
We support our clients to avoid biodiversity impacts through data-driven sensitivity and risk mapping to guide low-risk site selection. Applied early, this approach helps regulators, developers and investors spot potential threats, understand mitigation needs and reduce project and investment risk.
Technical Advisory
TBC's experts leverage their knowledge and experience to help clients tackle some of the thornier technical aspects of alignment with corporate targets, good international industry practice and lender standards. We can support with a range of technical challenges from metrics and methods to demonstrate biodiversity outcomes to mitigation strategies for projects or species.
