What are biodiversity credits?

Biodiversity credits provide a financial mechanism to incentivise and support conservation initiatives, creating a market-based approach to funding and valuing biodiversity protection and restoration efforts. In today's rapidly changing world, businesses face many challenges, including resource scarcity and evolving consumer demands. Biodiversity credits offer a transformative approach to address these challenges and unlock new opportunities for your business.

A new economic instrument

Biodiversity credits enable the trading and monetising of biodiversity and ecosystem services to incentivise the conservation and restoration of nature and ecosystems.

Biodiversity is vital and valuable

Biodiversity and ecosystem services' importance cannot be overstated. They are crucial for human wellbeing, enhance production systems, and create value for businesses. 

Biodiversity is essential for life and the long-term future of businesses
