In 2024 the Royal Warrant Holders Association launched its Nature Recovery initiative, in collaboration with Planet Mark, to identify and promote member companies’ projects to enhance nature’s capital and create significant improvements in biodiversity. By sharing knowledge of the work of companies in this field, we aim to encourage others to follow suit. Examples have included:
- Barbour - Supporting Wildlife on an Industrial Estate: Implementing initiatives to protect wildlife on their industrial estate.
- Fortnum & Mason - Nature Corridor across London: Using insect hotels, green spaces, and beehives to support pollinators, biodiversity, and local communities.
- Halcyon Days - Graveyards as Places of Wellbeing & Biodiversity: Partnering with churchyards to re-establish them as spaces for quiet reflection, wellbeing, and biodiversity at the heart of local communities.
- Hillier Nurseries - Uncover & Recover: Creating Biodiversity Net Gain by removing hard surfaces and planting to promote a biodiverse environment.
- Hypnos - Wildflower Regeneration Project: Creating a habitat for nature at their headquarters and helping protect local chalklands in partnership with Chiltern Rangers.
- Sanderson Design Group - Mini Wildflower Meadow: Establishing a nature corridor on their manufacturing site to encourage biodiversity.
- Barbour - Biodiversity Workshops for Farming Communities: Partnering with The Royal Countryside Fund to deliver workshops that help farmers protect and enhance biodiversity on their estates.
The Association is grateful for its valuable partnerships with Natural England and The Wildlife Trusts in delivering this initiative.
