Environment Bank

EvoInfra provided financial modelling support in developing a new corporate financial model for Environment Bank Limited (EBL).  

EBL is dedicated to tackling the critical issue of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse through the development of Habitat Banks that turn landscape-scale areas of non-arable farmland into mosaics of woodlands, wetlands, and species rich grasslands in accordance with the Government’s biodiversity net gain metrics (BNG). BNG units are generated from these assets and sold to developers requiring planning permission – delivering strong financial returns by driving positive environmental and societal impact.

EBL offers developers across the UK a fully funded, one-stop solution to the challenges posed by the BNG requirements, providing legal and financial certainty. EBL is the only national scale operator and already has a network of Habitat Banks across England ready to meet the needs of developers. This new strategy will allow them to continue to scale to meet rapidly growing demand.

The new corporate model will support with the tracking of historic performance, reporting, and forecasting activities, as well as provide the ability to run sensitivities across the portfolio, and individual classifications, of Habitat Banks.
