Cemex UK is launching its Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) offering to the industry, to help support organisations achieve their own Biodiversity Net Gain requirements following the changes to UK.

BNG is an approach that aims to ensure future UK developments create a positive lasting impact on our natural environment by implementing a minimum target for new developments to achieve a 10% uplift in the biodiversity of a site.

It is now a condition of planning permission in the UK, requiring developers to assess and enhance biodiversity before work begins. Recognising the complexity of these requirements, Cemex has created a dedicated service that guides organisations through the full BNG lifecycle—from baseline assessments and unit purchases to long-term habitat management.

Steve Redwood, Land Development and Property Director, explains: “Cemex’s BNG offering can help organisations who are new to biodiversity enhancement projects, those who may not have the inhouse skills or knowledge, and companies working with sites where biodiversity net gain targets will be difficult or costly to achieve. Cemex’s Biodiversity Net Gain service will help guide businesses through the entire lifecycle approach from initial assessment to unit purchase and long-term habitat management with no further input required, ensuring a hassle-free approach to the management and realisation of biodiversity net gain. For developers, Cemex’s offer will help to deliver biodiversity net gain without the pain; that may otherwise be associated with challenging or difficult to deliver sites.”
