Today’s society has much more of a social conscience and in order to maintain and win new business Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities have grown in importance and are now more than just a tick-box exercise. They have become central to the long-term success of businesses large and small.
Whether you’re a land agent, developer, planner, or working on national infrastructure developments, aligning your projects with ESG goals is vital. What if your environmental consultancy partner could not only help you meet those goals but also contribute to wider environmental gains that go far beyond your own project?
That’s exactly what EMEC offers.
A Unique Partnership with Purpose
EMEC is proud to be part of a unique network of 24 ecology consultancies across the UK that are connected to the Wildlife Trust movement. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust (NWT) – yet we operate as an independent ecological consultancy.
What sets us apart? While other consultancies may use profits to benefit shareholders, EMEC reinvests all surplus revenue back to NWT and subsequently nature conservation. That means when you work with us, you’re not just achieving regulatory compliance and improving your own business goals – you’re actively supporting environmental regeneration.
Supporting ESG with Integrity
Businesses today are under increasing pressure to demonstrate real-world impact through their ESG strategies. Working with EMEC means your organisation can align with these goals in a way that is transparent, credible, and deeply rooted in local environmental expertise.
Our team provides best-practice ecological advice tailored to the landscapes and habitats we know best – backed by the collective knowledge of the wider Wildlife Trusts movement.
Making a Measurable Difference
By partnering with EMEC, your investment in ecological services goes further. Revenue generated from our work directly supports Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust’s flagship projects, such as:
- Bringing Beavers Back to Nottinghamshire: After a 400-year absence, beavers have returned to our county, creating wetland habitats and helping improve flood resilience.
- Three Rivers Restoration Project: Our support has helped reactivate a water source that has lain dormant for over 70 years – revitalising natural habitats and improving water quality.
These projects are not just good for wildlife – they help tell a powerful story about our commitment to sustainability and social value.
Helping You Navigate Biodiversity Net Gain and ISO Accreditations
We understand the legislative landscape. EMEC works with developers to comply with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) legislation, helping you quantify and offset impacts with credible mitigation strategies.
By integrating nature-based solutions into your developments and showing how your project contributes to local conservation efforts, we support your compliance with ESG frameworks – and help build the evidence base for ISO accreditation requirements.
Set Your Project Apart
In a competitive landscape, EMEC offers something few other consultancies can – the opportunity to meet your environmental obligations while funding lasting change. Working with us isn’t just good for your project. It’s good for the planet.
So, if you’re planning a new development or infrastructure scheme and want to ensure your environmental impact is a positive one, choose EMEC – and join us in building a legacy that benefits both people and wildlife.
Let’s create impact, together.
