Amey, one of the UK’s leading infrastructure and public services providers, has today launched its first Nature Positive Strategy, a landmark commitment to place biodiversity and ecological resilience at the core of its operations.
The strategy sets out how Amey will design, deliver, and maintain infrastructure that actively supports nature, helping clients meet their sustainability goals while building a greener, more resilient future for the UK. It aligns with the Government’s Industrial Strategy 2025 and national priorities to restore nature and accelerate the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
With operations spanning transport, defence, and justice, Amey manages a vast network of roads, highways, buildings, and bridges across the UK and has an increasing presence internationally. Many of these assets offer wildlife connectivity and habitat ‘stepping stones’ within intensively managed or developed areas, giving the company a unique opportunity to enhance biodiversity while delivering essential public services.
Collaboration is central to the approach. Amey has signed the Nature Positive Business Pledge, a peer-reviewed framework for transparent reporting and measurable action. The company also supports Rebuilding Nature, an alliance recognising nature as critical infrastructure, and partners with the Supply Chain Sustainability School to drive knowledge and innovation across the value chain.
Emily Davies, ESG Director at Amey said: “Protecting biodiversity has always been important to us, but this strategy gives Amey a clear framework to deliver measurable impact. As one of the UK’s largest infrastructure providers, we have a responsibility to design and deliver projects that enable nature to thrive. By embedding nature-positive principles into everything we do, we can create infrastructure that serves communities, protects the environment, and is fit for the future.”
The Nature Positive Strategy also underpins Amey’s focus on decarbonisation and climate resilience, embedding sustainability across the company’s long-term ambitions.
