Our academically rigorous models give you the most detailed available insight into:
-
Atmospheric carbon stored: (tonnes CO2e/ha)
-
Atmospheric carbon sequestered:
(tonnes CO2e/ha/yr)
-
Soil erosion prevention:
(tonnes avoided soil loss/ha/yr)
-
Flood risk reduction:
(m3 surface runoff avoided/ha/yr)
-
Clean water: (tonnes nutrient runoff ha/yr)
-
Land for recreation:
(important areas - visitors/ha/yr)
-
Pollination: (important areas - ha)
-
Biodiversity: (important areas – ha; index of connectivity)
MEASURE, ENHANCE, REPORT
We have unrivalled expertise in natural capital modelling, accounting and valuation across many sectors from land management to utilities.
SETTING THE STANDARD
Our models are the most detailed, scientifically rigorous and scalable on the market. On top of this, our people are second to none.
HOW WE VALUE
Natural capital comprises assets-in-perpetuity. This means that they should not be depreciated, but rather that capital maintenance should be provided to maintain the assets at least intact.
MULTI-COUNTRY PROJECTS
With our bespoke projects, our models work across the globe, to a consistency and accuracy that is unrivalled.
