Biodiversity is a critical issue for all businesses at every stage of their operations and supply chains.
The continued loss of biodiversity represents a major risk to businesses, economic growth and local communities.
With global goals and targets to reverse the loss of biodiversity, and increasing international and national polices and regulations, biodiversity is an issue that all businesses will want to address.
The UKBBF was set up to support UK businesses understand biodiversity, what needs to be done and the actions they can take to integrate biodiversity into their decision making.
With a growing community of business leaders and biodiversity experts, we are on a mission to help companies prioritise and integrate nature into their decision making and put biodiversity at the heart of their business.

From conferences to expertise, and advice from UKBBF Directors and Steering Committee, plus access to the latest research, the benefits of UKBBF membership are many.
Businesses, large or small, have an impact both positive and negative, and a dependency on biodiversity. While the impact and dependencies vary from company to company, sector to sector, biodiversity is core to business activities, value chain and reputation.
A key purpose of the UKBBF is to support UK businesses understand and integrate these motivations into their decision making by being kept informed of the latest developments and opportunities.
