Presentation of a biodiversity assessment methodology designed to assess the biodiversity performance of any land-owning entity. The methodology is based on the 'pristineness' of an organisation's land. The methodology can be applied to companies, nations, regions, or any organisation which owns land. It generates a normative biodiversity 'score' which can be used in annual reports, marketing strategies, to win new contracts, or as a component of another ecological indicator. The methodology is particularly relevant to raw materials sectors: oil, mining, farming for example, but can be used to assess any organisation's biodiversity performance.
