Regenerative practices

Companies working with UEBT are contributing to regenerating natural systems.  Regenerative practices are ways in which cultivation and wild collection activities contribute to the natural processes that take place in an ecosystem, such as carbon capture, climate regulation, water purification and food provision.

The UEBT standard’s principles on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity promotes regenerative practices such as:

• Maximising biodiversity

• Conserving or improving soil health

• Conserving or improving water conditions

• Preventing and mitigating the negative impact of the use of agrochemicals

Through our Biodiversity Action Plan approach, UEBT member companies in 2020 took steps to regenerate nature in their sourcing areas and beyond.
