Biological Diversity Protocol (BD Protocol)

The BD Protocol aims to enable any organisation, from any sector, to identify, measure and account for its impacts on biodiversity. Companies can now develop their biodiversity impact inventory and the associated Statements of Biodiversity Position and Performance for various applications, from site or project management to disclosure. For instance, it can be instrumental to companies working on voluntary, biodiversity commitments or targets for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, adhering to the accounting and reporting principles of the BD Protocol helps ensure that biodiversity impact data is presented in a standardised, comparable, credible and unbiased manner.
