Are there any legislative requirements for a company to have a biodiversity policy or Biodiversity Action Plan?
A. While there are no specific legal requirements for companies to have Biodiversity policies or Biodiversity Action Plans, business is seen to play a central role in the conservation of biodiversity in the UK. The UK is party to many other international biodiversity initiatives and frameworks, some of which have already been enacted in UK law. Specific laws which businesses need to be aware of and comply with are listed in UK Legislation.
