site preparation and planting suitable native species to ensure resilience and biodiversity. As sustainability is key (remember that 30-year BNG duty), there’s also a five- year plant defect period to replace failed plantings and ongoing monitoring and adaptations as needed to ensure the habitat succeeds over the long-term.


4. Natural capital asset management Combining ongoing habitat maintenance with detailed analysis and reporting, this gives you robust, quantifiable data to demonstrate the success of your nature impact investment and to verify biodiversity gains. To relieve the pressure of ESG reporting burdens, OUTCO can make it all simple by compiling evidence for every site across your portfolio into an annual nature impact report.


Making meaningful change Biodiversity supports ecosystems that provide cleaner air and water, carbon capture, and soil fertility. Protecting these natural assets requires positive action across society to abate habitat loss and environmental degradation - and new regulations place this ball firmly

into the court of landowners and businesses managing outdoor spaces.


This represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Developing sustainable habitats is an investment, but one that can pay dividends in terms of better environmental performance and material value through BNG credits. In some cases, attractive and biodiverse habitats such as wildflower meadows can actually require less ongoing maintenance and help to reduce grounds maintenance budgets. However, like any investment, getting it right is all about experience, insight and working to match insight and strategy to effective delivery. At OUTCO we can help you take on this challenge, identifying opportunities for habitat improvements, delivering long-term management plans, and making reporting and monitoring simpler. With OUTCO, investing in biodiversity is more than compliance - it’s about creating healthier, more sustainable landscapes for the future.
