Businesses are increasingly looking for practical ways to reduce their environmental impact, but biodiversity can often feel harder to measure, understand or act on than carbon emissions.
That is where New Ground Impact+ comes in.
New Ground Impact+ is a new conservation subscription designed to help businesses become biodiversity positive by funding real, on-ground restoration projects for Australian flora and fauna, including koala habitat. Rather than acting as a carbon offset or a development approval offset, the initiative is focused on helping businesses actively contribute to better outcomes for nature through measurable, evidence-backed conservation work.
The offering has been developed by New Ground Environmental, a specialist ecological planning consultancy, which means the projects are scientifically designed, transparent and supported by reporting. Subscribers receive updates on the conservation actions they are helping fund, as well as access to the New Ground Impact+ Trust Mark to help communicate their biodiversity-positive commitment.
The process is simple. Businesses choose the plan that best suits their operations, use the Impact Calculator to estimate their biodiversity footprint, and then subscribe to support practical restoration work. Plans are available for a range of business types, including corporate operations, commercial and industrial development, residential development, retail, accommodation providers and travel-related impacts.
The Impact Calculator is a quick and easy way to understand the types of everyday business activities that can contribute to biodiversity impact, from travel and commuting through to energy use, water use, waste generation and building activity.
