Supporting UK Nature Recovery as an EBN Nature Guardian
MEMS Power Generation is an EBN Nature Guardian, joining a growing collective of businesses committed to supporting the restoration and protection of the UK’s natural environment. Our involvement forms part of our wider sustainability commitment, complementing our work to reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of our temporary power operations.
Through the Environmental Business Network (EBN), we are helping connect the business community with independent farmers, landowners, estate managers and community organisations working to restore habitats, improve biodiversity and protect wildlife.
Supporting UK Biodiversity and
Habitat Restoration
Healthy natural environments are essential to the wellbeing of communities, wildlife and businesses. The decline of biodiversity affects the resources we depend upon and the long-term health of our natural ecosystems.
As an EBN Nature Guardian, our involvement goes beyond making a financial contribution. It reflects our commitment to responsible business, raising awareness of the importance of investing in nature and supporting the people working to improve the UK’s natural environment.
By bringing businesses together and directing investment towards practical restoration projects, the initiative supports a collective approach to protecting and rebuilding natural habitats.
Nature Recovery in Action
The return of the red-billed chough to Kent demonstrates how restoring habitats and supporting biodiversity helps rebuild natural ecosystems. After disappearing from the county for more than 200 years, these distinctive birds are returning thanks to conservation work by Kent Wildlife Trust, Wildwood Trust and their independent farming partners.
Choughs depend on healthy grassland habitats and a reliable supply of insects and other invertebrates. Conservation grazing by cattle, sheep and ponies helps maintain the short chalk grasslands they favour, while dung beetles play an important role in recycling nutrients, improving soil health and providing food for the birds.
The relationship between choughs, dung beetles and grazing animals highlights how different species depend on one another. Successful nature recovery involves restoring these connections and creating the conditions for wildlife to thrive.
Part of Our Wider Sustainability Commitment
At MEMS, environmental responsibility remains an important part of how we operate. We continue to focus on reducing the impact of temporary power through lower-emission equipment, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), efficient fuel management and intelligent monitoring through MEMS Connect.
Our involvement as an EBN Nature Guardian extends this commitment beyond our operational activities. By supporting efforts to restore habitats and improve biodiversity, we are contributing to a wider movement focused on protecting the natural environment for future generations.
We recognise that no single business can reverse nature loss alone. Through collaboration, responsible investment and a shared commitment to nature recovery, businesses have an important role to play in creating a healthier and more resilient natural environment.
