Green dots mark habitat bank and supply locations across England — where off-site units may be available. Positions and counts are illustrative during the Verdaq Pilot and do not represent live confirmed availability. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are shown for context only.

How live coverage works

Coverage combines verified habitat bank listings, active planning projects and public register data. It refreshes weekly during the pilot, then daily once banks start updating availability.

Why Verdaq

Environmental credit markets are growing. The infrastructure beneath them isn't.

Information is fragmented, supply is hard to find and procurement takes longer than it should. Verdaq is being built to make environmental requirements arising through planning easier to understand, source and manage — starting with Biodiversity Net Gain in England, alongside nutrient neutrality and water.

Better information
Supply, requirements, pricing and activity brought together in one place.
Easier procurement
One requirement, relevant providers invited, offers presented in a consistent format.
More investment reaching nature
A clearer route between development requirements and the land delivering the gain.
We hold no credits of our own, no provider pays for placement, and there is no Verdaq commission during the pilot.

Manage environmental requirements across your development pipeline.

One development can carry BNG, nutrient and water requirements at once. Verdaq is being built to hold them under the same project, across multiple sites.

Talk to us
Verdaq is currently in pilot
We’re working with a small number of developers, providers and other market participants before Verdaq opens more widely.
During the pilot, it’s free to take part. Tell us what you need — or what you can supply — and we’ll help identify potentially suitable matches. As more organisations join Verdaq, the choice of opportunities will grow.
