Environment Bank is an England-based company that creates and manages a network of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Habitat Banks. It transforms low-biodiversity farmland into ecosystems such as meadows, woodlands, and wetlands, generating Biodiversity Units for developers required to meet ecological obligations and providing income for landowners. The company has established over 45 Habitat Banks, generating more than 8,500 Biodiversity Units across over 3,500 acres of restored land.
The organization operates at the intersection of ecology, land management, and planning regulation. Its team comprises specialists across technical domains including ecology, habitat management, geospatial analysis, planning advisory, digital creatives, and legal. This multidisciplinary structure supports its role in biodiversity offsetting and environmental restoration within England's real estate development and agricultural sectors.
Environment Bank partners directly with local landowners to implement hands-on restoration work. The business model connects the regulatory needs of developers under BNG requirements with land-based habitat creation, operating as a commercial entity within the biodiversity offsetting market.
