If our common objective is to halt the decline of biodiversity and even to regenerate it, then we must create the tool that will allow companies to measure the impact of their local actions in this area, an essential first step for them can then finance large-scale projects. Biodiversity certificates and the associated market are this tool. This is why aDryada wanted to create OBC.

Mirova’s mission is to support activities that preserve and restore ecosystems amongst others. We’ve been providing finance to nature-based projects aiming at restoring biodiversity for nearly 10 years. While carbon credits have historically been the main tool to make such projects viable, it’s time they can also be valued for the significant other benefits they generate – on nature, beyond climate. Hence we are convinced that biodiversity certificates are an interesting mechanism to build - and we are pleased to contribute to their development
