BREEAM Ecological Report by XNatura Experts
The qualified ecologist team at XNatura develops the Land Use & Ecology credits (LE 01–05) for you. Supported by the XNatura platform, we centralize data, speed up analysis, and generate professional reports for BREEAM assessments.
BREEAM Land Use & Ecology: a key category
The Land Use & Ecology category can account for up to 10% of the BREEAM score. The XNatura team covers assessment issues LE 01–05, using XNatura technology to make survey, analysis, and calculation processes more efficient, traceable, and communicable.
How do we prepare your BREEAM report?
Our team of experts uses XNatura, the platform that has digitized biodiversity. This way, we enhance ecological analyses for credits LE 01–05, ensuring professional, fast, traceable, and communicable reports.
For credit LE01, our team uses XNatura to analyze satellite imagery and historical maps to verify the site's previous use and its ecological value. For BREEAM In-Use, our experts monitor changes in the surrounding landscape to provide valuable context for ecological management.
Our Suitably Qualified Ecologist (SQE) leads the assessment of the site's ecological features. Using XNatura, they cross-reference survey data with biodiversity databases to define the 'zone of influence', identify protected species, and map risks and opportunities according to the GN34 checklist.
Our experts focus on minimizing impacts. For New Construction, we use XNatura to model potential impacts on habitats and species, applying the mitigation hierarchy. For In-Use, we analyze operational data to suggest effective mitigation strategies.
The goal is to increase the site's ecological value. The XNatura team uses its platform to simplify and accelerate the calculations of Guidance Note 36 (Route 2), processing pre- and post-development data. We model different enhancement scenarios to maximize the final ecological gain.
To ensure long-term management, our consultants draft the Landscape and Ecology Management Plan (LEMP). We leverage XNatura to define and automate KPI monitoring, tracking habitat health through analysis of satellite imagery and sensor data.

Our expertise, enhanced by technology
Our team of ecologists uses the XNatura platform to conduct rigorous and professional BREEAM assessments. The combination of human expertise and automation ensures traceable reports, reduces errors, and maximizes the quality of the final result.
Digital vegetation surveys
Our experts conduct professional field surveys (quadrats, transects) with XNatura, ensuring geo-referenced photos, assisted identification, and a complete audit trail, in line with CIEEM best practices.
Professional transect surveys
The XNatura team creates repeatable sampling designs (GPS tracking) and belt transects. XNatura supports us in analyzing the collected data for Route 1 (GN34) and Route 2 (GN36), ensuring statistical quality checks.
BREEAM calculations and supporting indicators
Our ecologists use XNatura to automate the calculation of the 'change in ecological value' (GN36 – Route 2), managing distinctiveness, condition, and strategic significance for an accurate and fast result.
BREEAM: our international coverage
XNatura's consulting service, powered by the XNatura platform, supports BREEAM International and the main European national schemes (NSOs).
How XNatura Solves BREEAM Ecological Assessment Challenges
We digitize the entire workflow: from field surveys to GN36 (Route 2) calculations and SQE-ready reports.
Slow and error-prone manual surveys
Typical issues:- Non-standardized data
- Slow species identification
- Poor traceability
- Time-consuming data analysis
Complete digitalization of surveys
Real-time validated forms, assisted identification, GPS, and geo-referenced photos. Immediate export in GIS formats; support for quadrats, transects, and permanent plots; audit trail for QA.
The Platform for BREEAM
Monitor and document your project's environmental performance traceably for BREEAM. We integrate IoT sensors, AI, and geospatial analysis to support the evidence required by the issues.

The issue of biodiversity has always been central to the strategies of Mutti, whose business revolves entirely around a product of the earth, a symbol of Made in Italy in the world: the tomato. Precisely for this reason, within our Green Strategy, we have initiated a program of ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation, which starts from the very land where we have our production facilities. The collaboration with XNatura is therefore essential for us, in order to give scientific validation to our projects and help us in building a long-term strategy that will help us grow and bring increasing value to the environment.
