BBGI Global Infrastructure

Building biodiversity awareness across an infrastructure portfolio

CHALLENGE

BBGI wanted to better understand how its infrastructure assets interact with nature and biodiversity, including potential impacts and dependencies. The challenge was to develop a practical, scalable approach that could raise internal awareness, identify sensitivities, and support informed dialogue with public sector and asset-level stakeholders.

SOLUTION

BBGI partnered with Natcap’s science and advisory teams to conduct the analysis.

The approach included:

  • Assessing potential nature impacts and dependencies using satellite imagery, BBGI’s centrally collected asset data (e.g. water, waste) and scientific literature.

     

  • Evaluating location sensitivity of asset locations (e.g. proximity to biodiversity sensitive areas).

     

  • Refining results into illustrative actions to support discussion at asset level.

"Natcap’s tailored approach, backed by strong scientific expertise, made the outputs both credible and practical for our portfolio."
