One global standard

One biodiversity standard, applicable and comparable in every country

Score a site in Nairobi like a site in Lille, under the same rule — and aggregate the result across an entire global estate.

The gap to fill

Today, nothing measures this everywhere, the same way

Existing tools are local and heterogeneous. There is no way to score a site under one common rule across countries, nor to aggregate a score across a portfolio. That gap creates three concrete risks:

Fragmentation

Scores that do not compare from one country to another.

Greenwashing

An unmanaged figure becomes a legal risk.

Unmanageable cost

Verifying hundreds of sites with no common method.

The architecture

An invariant core + country annexes

Core standard

Invariant: method, weightings, A+ to G scale.

Country annex

Local: seasonality, biome calibration, legal frameworks.

Result

A BPS applicable AND comparable.

We localise the inputs, never the output. The core method never changes; the country annex carries the local parameters. That is what guarantees a score obtained in Mumbai compares to a score obtained in Lille.

How localisation works

Locally relevant, globally comparable

Seasonality reset

Diagnostic windows follow the local climate — monsoon in India, reversed seasons in South Africa, harmattan in Ghana.

Biome recalibration

The key ecological indicators are re-established for the local context, from South African fynbos to Sahelian savanna.

Local legal frameworks

Every regulatory reference has its national equivalent, built into the country annex.

Comparability

An A means an A, everywhere

The A+ to G scale and the weightings are common to every annex. A BPS rated A in India means exactly the same as an A in South Africa. That is what lets you steer and communicate across your entire global estate — one common language, one indicator.

The proof

Already built for priority countries

Not a concept — country annexes already written, each mapping local ecology and regulation to the invariant core:

Country / zone	Legal reference built in
India	Wildlife Protection Act
South Africa	NEM:BA
Kenya	EMCA
Egypt	Environmental Law
Ghana	Environmental Protection Act
European Union	CSRD · ESRS E4 · EU Taxonomy
France	Loi Climat & Résilience (art. 35)

Further annexes follow, with a regional third party as an interim option where needed.

Verification

Remote verification, at scale

Delivery is verified without systematic travel — cost-controlled and scalable across the whole estate.

Assessor-directed video call

A dedicated web app: the assessor directs the visit remotely, live from the field.

Geolocated, timestamped evidence

Every finding carries GPS, date/time and an integrity seal — supported by satellite imagery.

A pooled assessor network

Checks run without systematic travel; a local third party steps in on a risk-based sample.

Governance

Scientific, defensible governance

Framework approved by the Biodiversity Standard Council (BSC) — independent scientific governance.
A score, not a label: objective, reproducible, traceable — defensible under the EU Green Claims Directive.
Designed to feed CSRD & ESRS E4, TNFD and the EU taxonomy: an obligation becomes structured data.
Operated by IRICE, an independent third-party evaluation body, with a trained Biodiversity Partner network.

Scientific, globally comparable, deployable and defensible — one biodiversity standard for an entire international estate.
