Certified biodiversity

With us, you can offset your sealed surfaces and transform your surroundings into valuable nature areas. This is how it works:

You have your property analysed by us and acquire the ‘Get Nature Positive’ certificate for offsetting sealed surfaces. With your contribution, we create a valuable new nature area equivalent to 120% of your sealed surfaces. For example, if your residential or company building plus car park and access road cover a thousand square metres, 1200 m2 of meadow or fallow land will be upgraded to a dry meadow, orchard, wetland biotope or similar.  

We enter into a long-term contract with our land partners, the landowners and managers. This means that the biodiversity improvement will remain in place for the long term - at least for the next 25 years. Your certificate will tell you exactly where the improvement has taken place. What's more, it's always done here in Switzerland, not somewhere else. 

 


If you also upgrade your environment to a high-quality natural space, you will receive the ‘Get Nature Positive Premium’ certificate, the gold standard, so to speak.
Our certificates are based on a scientific methodology and are verified by an independent certification body.
