Business Overview
BiosphereViewer
®
Biosphere-Viewer® is our proprietary approach to supporting your nature-positive initiatives. This approach seamlessly integrates “current state assessment → issue identification → plan formulation → implementation support → monitoring.” Biosphere-Viewer® analyzes and evaluates ecosystems across various business sites—including agriculture, food, construction, and real estate—using our core technology, which integrates multiple scientific fields, and survey methods employed in ecology. We then design new ecosystem models that balance business productivity with sustainability. We support the implementation of our clients' Nature Positive initiatives by providing the biological resources needed for ecosystem reconstruction and expertise in utilizing ecosystem functions. We monitor both the functions of the reconstructed ecosystems and the value of the services these ecosystems provide to society, using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
■Our Approach
Analysis and Assessment: We analyze and assess ecosystems from the perspective of their impact on society and business. This goes beyond a simple survey of species numbers.
We do not stop at ecosystem analysis and assessment. Depending on client requirements, we also design, implement, and monitor ecosystems tailored to specific business objectives.
