Our Methodology

The Mitigation Hierarchy

BWC applies the Mitigation Hierarchy to ensure projects achieve No Net Loss (NNL) or Net Positive Impact (NPI) for biodiversity.

Avoid

Identify sensitive ecosystems early and redesign projects to prevent impacts before they occur.

Minimize

Apply best-practice engineering and mitigation measures to reduce unavoidable impacts.

Restore

Rehabilitate degraded habitats and restore ecosystem functionality after project activities.

Offset

Implement biodiversity offsets where residual impacts remain to achieve NNL or NPI outcomes.

Our approach ensures development projects remain bankable, compliant, and environmentally responsible.
