Ben Jobson

Principal Consultant @The Biodiversity Consultancy Ltd

Cambridge, GB

I primarily work with the renewables sector to apply biodiversity expertise to ensure ecologically sustainable renewable energy development and operations, working with financiers and developers to identify risks and pragmatic management solutions aligned with leading environmental practice. TBC provides ongoing guidance and capacity development to help businesses meet stringent lender and legislative requirements and deliver projects on time and budget. Clients span the entire renewable energy sector, including hydropower, solar, onshore and offshore wind, and geothermal energy. We apply our knowledge and practical experience to manage biodiversity risks through the project cycle, from Critical Habitat screening or assessment at the design stage, to scoping and coordination of field surveys, Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), design of mitigation within Biodiversity Action Plans, and the development of offset plans and review of offset progress.We also work at the corporate level to (1) conduct corporate biodiversity assessments fit for reporting in line with CSRD, TNFD, or SBTN, and (2) help developers design corporate biodiversity strategies and targets, such as those in relation to Net Positive Impact on biodiversity,
