By now, many people in construction are used to thinking about cutting CO2 emissions.
But the industry’s impact on nature – the planet’s and our life-support system – has been largely overlooked.
That is until this year when, in February, it became mandatory for developers in England to deliver a “biodiversity net gain”, or BNG, of 10% on sites that are half a hectare or more in size.
In this episode, we explore the practicalities and business implications of this new requirement to protect and enhance nature, asking, can construction really be nature’s friend?
On hand to guide us is our experienced panel:
• Stephanie Wray, consultant and former Chief Sustainability Officer for RSK Group;
• Julia Baker, Head of Nature Services at Mott MacDonald;
• Helen Nyul, Group Head of Biodiversity at Barratt Homes.
