What is the Environmental Platform of XNatura?

The Environmental Platform of XNatura is the first integrated platform that allows companies, natural parks, and municipalities to define and implement a comprehensive strategy on biodiversity, nature, and climate. The platform enables monitoring and evaluating risks, impacts, opportunities, and dependencies, establishing clear objectives and tracking metrics, all in one tool.

How does the Environmental Platform of XNatura work?

The Environmental Platform of XNatura is based on an integrated approach grounded in scientific data, which allows for prioritizing risks across various company sites. This way, it is possible to identify the most critical areas, define intervention priorities, and develop targeted environmental mitigation and regeneration strategies at the corporate level. After an initial assessment phase, the Biodiversity & Nature Strategists come into play, professional figures from the XNatura team trained to guide partners in defining a strategic action plan. Based on the data obtained, specific targets are set to be achieved through targeted actions, in order to align with global objectives regarding biodiversity, nature, and climate. The platform provides structured reports, ready to be integrated into corporate sustainability reports in compliance with the transparency and compliance standards set by European regulations.

Is the Environmental Platform of XNatura compliant with ESRS standards?

Yes, the Environmental Platform of XNatura allows for monitoring and analyzing environmental impacts and risks through thematic Suites in line with ESRS standards for sustainability reporting: Climate Change, Pollution, Water Resources, and Biodiversity and Ecosystems. Each Suite focuses on specific indices, providing a clear view of the impacts, dependencies, risks, and environmental opportunities related to production activities and business operations.

Why monitor biodiversity in the infrastructure sector?

Infrastructure has a direct impact on biodiversity, influencing habitat continuity and land use on a large scale. Monitoring these impacts allows for the reduction of environmental criticalities and the development of solutions that integrate nature and infrastructure.

Enhancement of natural habitats

Soil conservation

Biodiversity protection

Fragmentation analysis

Enhancement of natural habitats ensuring their continuity

Threat
The development of roads, railways, and other infrastructure can disrupt ecological corridors, hindering species movement and fragmenting ecosystems.
Opportunity
Integrating dedicated solutions that allow for the maintenance of ecological continuity helps mitigate the impact on habitats and promotes biodiversity.

Soil conservation and sustainable land management

Threat
Infrastructure occupies vast areas of land, altering the landscape and reducing the natural spaces available for flora and fauna.
Opportunity
Planning targeted interventions allows for the preservation of strategic natural areas, reducing habitat loss and promoting coexistence between infrastructure and biodiversity.

Large-scale biodiversity protection

Threat
The impact of infrastructure is not limited to a specific area but often extends regionally or nationally, altering ecosystem balances on a large scale.
Opportunity
The use of advanced monitoring tools allows for the assessment of long-term effects, supporting effective mitigation strategies and more biodiversity-conscious design.

Fragmentation analysis

Roads, railways, and transport networks often disrupt ecological corridors, isolating habitats and species.
A fragmentation analysis assesses where and to what extent infrastructure breaks up the natural landscape, identifying critical points for wildlife crossings or green bridges.
Integrating these insights into planning and maintenance ensures vital connections for flora and fauna.
