Environment Bank

Environment Bank delivers nature-based solutions in England. Its core service is Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), where it creates and manages habitat banks and sells biodiversity units to help developers meet planning conditions. It also offers environmental consenting, nature-based resilience projects for flood, water and heat risk, and bespoke corporate nature partnerships.

Customers include developers, nationally significant infrastructure and major development projects, corporates, and landowners and farmers who host habitat projects on their land. According to the website, developer contributions cover initial capital works and 30 years of habitat management, and Gresham House is listed as an investor backing the habitat banks.

The website reports 50+ habitat banks, 10,000+ biodiversity units, 3,000+ development projects and 4,000+ acres of land restored. It lists an office in York and three office hubs.
