Our Commitment to Natural Resources

At Bionua, we understand that our business and the planet depend on healthy ecosystems. To ensure resilience and growth for both, restoring and protecting these ecosystems is essential.

Embracing a Nature Positive Approach

A nature positive business is one that generates more benefits for nature than adverse impacts. At Bionua, we integrate biodiversity protection into our sustainability practices, processes, and policies. Our goal is to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem services throughout our value chains while maintaining high environmental standards within our operations.

Supply Chain Responsibility

We prioritize biodiversity in our supply chain management. We are committed to preventing deforestation and demand the same from our suppliers. We actively avoid converting habitats with valuable biodiversity for biomass production, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout our industry.

Nature Positive Value Chain

Our nature positive value chain approach focuses on avoiding and minimizing biodiversity impacts. Any negative impacts are restored and compensated for within our value chain or elsewhere, ensuring that our business activities create more benefits than harm to ecosystems.

Achieving Net Positive Impact

Net Positive Impact (NPI) or ‘net gain’ refers to a state where positive biodiversity outcomes exceed any losses due to business activities. This requires not only avoiding and minimizing negative impacts but also engaging in additional positive actions to enhance biodiversity.

Biodiversity Best Practices for Sustainable Businesses

To drive meaningful change, we urge business leaders to thoroughly understand and meticulously evaluate their company's impact on nature throughout their value and supply chains. This in-depth assessment will inform and guide effective biodiversity initiatives.
