Biodiversity Performance Score (BPS)

Assessing the biodiversity of your real estate projects: an independent, evidence-based approach
Biodiversity Performance Score
In a context where biodiversity is becoming a strategic issue, but where declarative scores and sectoral labels are still dominant, the BPS offers another way forward: measure, document, prove.
A rigorous, independent, evidence-based assessment to structure your biodiversity commitments and secure your approach in the eyes of funders, local authorities and investors.

Why is measuring not declaring?
Many existing systems are based on declarative or self-assessment approaches, sometimes carried out by the very players they are assessing.
The BPS stands out for its methodological requirements: an independent assessment, with no confusion between consulting, design and measurement.
