Go beyond carbon and support nature directly
The biodiversity crisis is just as critical as the climate crisis. That's why we are proud to offer high-quality, voluntary biodiversity credits (VBC) as a way for businesses to support nature directly.
By supporting biodiversity projects, you will be contributing to the restoration and preservation of our planet's most valuable ecosystems with a focus on healthy soils, clean water and recovering species.
How voluntary biodiversity credits work to support nature
Businesses from any sector can voluntarily invest in nature and help support high-impact biodiversity projects. Much like carbon credits, businesses are able to financially support off-site projects that are best positioned to protect and restore threatened or degraded habitats and the wildlife within them.
A voluntary biodiversity credit represents an area of land within a project where actions being taken could include: the removal of invasive species improving water flow, sustainable land management, tree planting and even the reintroduction of species. In return, businesses receive the ‘credit’ for their support of this portion of the biodiversity project.
Our UK solution emulates the government-approved Biodiversity Net Gain methodology but fractionalises restoration into areas of 3m squared, providing an easier price point for businesses to offer their support.
Working with nature, not against it
Companies and governments are stepping up their commitment to nature, and you can too. In many industries, it can be hard to take action to protect or improve nature. Investing in trusted biodiversity credits shows that your business is committed to sustainability and is actively taking steps to combat the biodiversity crisis.
Investing in biodiversity credits is not just about doing good for the planet; it's a smart business strategy that can boost your reputation, protect your assets and contribute to a brighter future.
