Building thriving nature markets: UK biodiversity policy as a blueprint

As nature-related risks become an urgent priority across corporate and policy agendas, there is a growing demand for robust, scalable models to measure and manage biodiversity impacts. 

England’s Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy is one of the world’s most developed examples of a regulated biodiversity market, providing a structured framework and metric for assessing habitat losses and quantifying positive gains made through nature restoration. 

But we will explore how successful compliance models like BNG have laid the essential foundations for voluntary nature markets now emerging around the world – markets through which we're able to exceed regulatory frameworks and biodiversity metrics to deliver more for businesses and nature. 

We will introduce the Americas Biodiversity Metric, a voluntary model developed by Ramboll using the BNG framework already being adopted by companies across the Americas to strengthen their nature-related disclosures (such as TNFD and SBTN). 

We’ll also explore how Nature Shares, Environment Bank’s innovative product now launched for the voluntary biodiversity market, is enabling businesses to invest in large-scale nature projects like Bog Hall Habitat Bank at England's iconic Castle Howard Estate. 

With practical insight from the UK’s leading BNG provider, this session will explore...  

• How the UK biodiversity metric is guiding impact avoidance and compensation  

• How habitat banking enables us to deliver nature-positive outcomes at scale  

• How the UK metric has been adapted to create the Americas Biodiversity Metric  

• How companies are already using this new voluntary metric (with examples)  

• How biodiversity data can be leveraged to show gains in natural capital value  

• What is working, what needs to evolve, and what is next on the horizon  

This is an exclusive session designed for senior leaders...  

• From companies that are looking for credible and measurable approaches to nature  

• From public sector organisations that are developing their nature or land use policy  

• In sustainability roles where they are responsible for nature-related disclosure  

We may need to decline registrations from those outside these parameters if capacity is reached.
