Managing our land assets and providing products to enhance biodiversity and facilitate wellbeing through engagement with nature.
Biodiversity Promotion
Why is this important?
Human wellbeing is sustained by access to ecosystem services such as crop pollination, fresh water, and soil fertility. Ecosystem services are weakened as biodiversity declines, reducing the availability of food, water and medicine.
Our ambitions for 2030
We will use the Biodiversity Net Gain metric to demonstrate a minimum 10% Biodiversity Net Gain is achieved or in progress, when averaged across our land assets, compared to a 2022 baseline.
Making this happen
- We have developed a strategy to promote biodiversity and increase employees’ engagement with nature.
- We will digitise our ecology and land asset management datasets and establish site-level baselines for future biodiversity enhancements.
- We will train employees to conduct Biodiversity Net Gain assessments and invite community members to join us in making habitat enhancements.
- We will partner with experts to improve land management decisions.

Building partnerships
We are partnering with other organisations to combine different skills, experience, and assets to solve complex problems and maximise the positive impact our biodiversity strategy will have. Our partnerships span science, product innovation, education, and advocacy.
Developing products and services
wienerberger’s nature-positive approach will consider the biodiversity impact of the company’s products across the whole lifecycle: from raw material sourcing, through the benefits in use, to end-of-life stage.
Enhancing the wellbeing
Good health and wellbeing is a fundamental human right, it is also a UN Sustainable Development Goal, and our biodiversity strategy can improve wellbeing outcomes for both our employees and communities.
Improving our land assets
We will manage our land assets with the aim of creating valuable habitats and promoting regional biodiversity by increasing connectivity with other biodiverse sites. Managing our land assets is central to our strategy.
Sharing data
wienerberger’s biodiversity strategy will result in an increase in both the quality and quantity of data that we collect and store.
What's next?
We will keep you updated on our collective progress with routine reports supplemented by case studies and news articles, sharing how our product portfolio is evolving and celebrating the partnerships we have formed.
