BNGAI™ for UK Water Utilities

Meet Your Ofwat Biodiversity Performance commitment

Move beyond reactive compliance. BNGAI™ empowers water companies to meet biodiversity performance commitments and unlock long-term natural capital value across their entire estate.

Navigate the modern regulatory landscape

UK water utilities face mounting pressure from the regulator, Ofwat, to demonstrate environmental stewardship across vast, complex landholdings. 

Regulatory &
Compliance Burden

The need for annual no deterioration assurance, robust BNG reporting, and achieving ambitious ODI targets demands accurate, repeatable, and auditable data at scale.

Scale & Cost
Inefficiency

Traditional boots on the ground surveys are impractical and prohibitively expensive for entire estates covering thousands of dispersed sites, from large reservoirs to small pumping stations.

Fragmented & Inconsistent Data

Relying on multiple contractors often leads to a patchwork of data in varying formats with different methodologies, preventing a unified, strategic view of your natural assets.

The BNGAI™ Solution:

A unified, data-driven approach

Our platform provides a single source of truth, empowering you to meet compliance obligations efficiently and unlock the strategic value of your natural capital.

Rapidly generate a complete, auditable habitat baseline for your entire portfolio in months, not years, using high resolution satellite imagery and advanced AI.

Optimise ecological resources. Pinpoint high priority areas for targeted boots on the ground surveys and seamlessly integrate field data to enrich and validate the AI model.

Effortlessly meet annual assurance requirements with flexible, multi year monitoring. Track change, demonstrate no deterioration, and report on ODI progress with confidence.

Go beyond compliance. Quantify Natural Capital value alongside biodiversity and empower capital planning teams with the data to make environmentally sound decisions from the start.
