About Biodiversity Benchmark
Every organisation, regardless of size, sector or location depends in some way on the natural environment and those with responsibility for land management have a direct impact on biodiversity.
The Biodiversity Benchmark provides a framework within which an organisation can ensure that its impact is as positive as it possibly can be by providing robust, independent verification of planning and implementation of land management practices.
Biodiversity Benchmark can complement existing environmental management systems such as ISO14001 and EMAS by integrating biodiversity into the systems of an organisation. Alternatively it can operate as a stand alone system.
Biodiversity Benchmark assesses an organisation’s performance in relation to it’s landholdings in four key areas:
Commitment
Planning
Implementation
Monitoring and Review
