Most businesses want to do better for nature - but it feels vague, complex, and hard to measure.

But what if it wasn’t so confusing? What if you knew exactly where to begin, with practical steps that actually made sense for your business?

What if you could make decisions that don’t just do less harm, but actively restore nature - creating projects that give back more than they take?

  • Construction sites that begin with planting, not just excavation.

  • Buildings that become part of the ecosystem.

  • Projects measured by what they restore - not just what they deliver.

  • Architects, builders, and designers recognised as stewards of biodiversity.

That’s where BoB comes in - a practical, tiered framework that helps businesses take real steps to support nature.

BoB starts simple. You make a public commitment, then choose from a curated set of nature-positive practical actions that suit your business. Go at your own pace, tap into a supportive community, and build your impact - without the overwhelm.
