Senior leaders and managers at infrastructure consultancy Amey will go through biodiversity training as part of a new ‘nature-positive strategy’ for its operations and projects.
Executive staff will receive training on “nature-based solutions, enhancing ecological connectivity and long-term ecosystem resilience”.
The company will also appoint biodiversity champions to share success stories and promote best practices.
Other priorities in Amey’s strategy include investment in biodiversity research and digital tools for monitoring, and invasive non-native species management to improve the company’s incorporation of biodiversity into project lifecycles.
Amey will also assess the biodiversity impacts of its supply chain to ensure its suppliers meet its nature commitments.
Amey said its strategy aligns with the government’s Industrial Strategy and its national priorities to restore nature and accelerate the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
Emily Davis, ESG director at Amey, said: “Protecting biodiversity has always been important to us, but this strategy gives Amey a clear framework to deliver measurable impact.
“As one of the UK’s largest infrastructure providers, we have a responsibility to design and deliver projects that enable nature to thrive. By embedding nature-positive principles into everything we do, we can create infrastructure that serves communities, protects the environment, and is fit for the future.”
