Natural Capital: Protect Your Supply Chain

As part of World Green Building Week 2026, join us for an immersive guided tour of a 22-hectare nature-based restoration project that demonstrates how investment in natural capital can deliver measurable environmental, social and business value.

Hosted by Green Belt Forestry, this unique event will take participants through the transformation of a commercial forest into a thriving nature sanctuary. Through carefully planned restoration, the site now supports native woodland regeneration, ponds, diverse habitats and wildlife, with every environmental improvement measured and verified.

Discover how nature-based solutions can strengthen supply chain resilience, improve biodiversity, enhance water quality, capture carbon, and create long-term value for organisations seeking to reduce their environmental impact.

During this interactive site visit, you’ll:

• Explore a restored 22-hectare nature-based project

• Discover how forestry and habitat restoration contribute to carbon sequestration and biodiversity
• Understand the role of nature-based solutions in improving water quality and ecosystem resilience
• Gain practical insights into how businesses can mitigate their environmental impact
