Business and Biodiversity Initiative

The following checklists should serve as an implementation tool in combination with the Corporate Biodiversity Management Handbook - A guide for practical implementation. 

The detailed checklists are a useful addition and reinforcement for the handbook. Together they offer ideas on individual implementation possibilities for the recommendations described in the handbook, while orienting themselves on the various corporate fields of action, each with specific direct (e.g. soil sealing) and indirect (e.g. supply chain) impact factors on biological diversity.

The German organisation B.A.U.M. (Bundesdeutsche Arbeitskreis für Umweltbewusstes Management) developed these tools.

With the checklists' various fields of action you will be able to assess your company's situation.  For each field of action, there is a quick check along with multiple other detailed checklists.  Fill in the relevant checklists one after the other.  At the end you can print out and send or email us the completed questionnaire.

Note:

The entries are meant to aid you in your self-evaluation and will not be saved or used by us or any other third party organisation.
