Sustainability Mon, Dec 18, 2023 1:10 PM

In response to the UK government's Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirement and The UNDP’s Nature Positive by 2030 goals, Tunley Environmental has introduced a range of innovative biodiversity services designed to assist developers and organisations in understanding and enhancing their impact on biodiversity. Biodiversity plays a crucial role in ecosystem stability and function, and with the impending BNG requirement, businesses are seeking support to assess their impact on biodiversity and achieve the Net Gain targets.

Tunley Environmental's biodiversity services are aimed at helping businesses comply with net gain regulations, identify potential risks to both biodiversity and reputation of businesses, and understand and reduce their direct impact on local and global biodiversity. The services include:

  • Biodiversity Risk Assessment,
  • Biodiversity Footprinting
  • Biodiversity Net Gain

all of which are tailored to provide comprehensive solutions to meet the specific needs of clients.

Biodiversity Footprinting

Biodiversity Footprinting is a key offering that allows businesses to assess their current impact on global biodiversity. This process involves analysing the biodiversity value of a site or development and identifying opportunities for enhancement. By conducting a thorough Biodiversity Footprinting assessment, businesses can gain valuable insights into their current biodiversity impact and develop strategies to improve and enhance biodiversity within their projects. This assessment will also allow businesses to work towards more Nature Positive and sustainable practices.

Biodiversity Net Gain

Tunley’s Biodiversity Net Gain service is designed to support businesses in achieving the BNG targets set by the UK government. This service involves calculating the biodiversity value of a site before and after development or intervention to ensure a measurable net gain in biodiversity. By working closely with clients, the team of experts at Tunley Environmental helps identify appropriate measures to enhance biodiversity, thus ensuring business projects result in a positive net gain.

Biodiversity Risk Assessment

Tunley Environmental offers Biodiversity Risk Assessment services to help businesses identify and mitigate potential risks to biodiversity associated with their projects and how these risks impact their business reputation. This involves a thorough evaluation of the industry dependencies and impacts a business has on biodiversity and on the reputation of the business.

Tunley Environmental's team of scientists brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience in ecology, biodiversity, and conservation science. By leveraging their expertise, they are able to provide tailored solutions that align with the specific requirements of each client. This ensures that businesses receive personalised support in understanding their impact on biodiversity and implementing effective strategies to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain targets and align with guidelines such as Science-Based Targets for Nature.

The launch of these comprehensive biodiversity services underscores Tunley Environmental's commitment to supporting businesses in addressing the challenges associated with biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. By offering a suite of services that cater to the diverse needs of developers and organisations, Tunley Environmental aims to empower businesses to make informed decisions that positively impact biodiversity while meeting regulatory requirements.

As businesses across the UK navigate the evolving landscape of environmental regulations and sustainability standards, Tunley Environmental's biodiversity services emerge as a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their understanding of their biodiversity impact, reduce biodiversity impact, and ultimately achieve Biodiversity Net Gain targets. Through collaboration with Tunley Environmental, businesses can access the expertise and guidance needed to reduce their impact on the environment and biodiversity, but also contribute to the long-term health and resilience of ecosystems by reaching Nature Positive Goals by 2030.
