Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

As the construction industry continues to evolve, the spotlight on sustainability grows brighter, with biodiversity conservation becoming a key priority. Understanding and implementing BNG practices is not just a regulatory requirement but a commitment to safeguarding our natural environment for future generations.

Biodiversity Net Gain isn’t a new concept, but its prominence in construction projects has surged in recent years. Originating from the Environment Bill 2020, the BNG policy mandates that developers must leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than before. This means enhancing habitats, promoting wildlife corridors, and fostering ecological resilience. According to recent figures, England aims to achieve a 10% net gain in biodiversity for all new developments, underlining the government’s dedication to environmental preservation.
