Supporting young companies in New Aquitaine to build a biodiversity strategy
Context
Accelerating biodiversity strategies for businesses in New Aquitaine
The regional project call "Nature and Transitions," led by the New Aquitaine Region with the support of actors like Soltena, aimed to accelerate the consideration of biodiversity in the projects of territories and businesses. Its objective was clear: to support concrete actions that both reduce impacts on ecosystems, restore nature, and develop solutions based on living systems. It was aimed at a wide variety of stakeholders (local authorities, businesses, associations) with a logic of experimentation and action.
Beyond funding, this initiative primarily encouraged structured and replicable approaches capable of sustainably transforming practices. Soltena played a key role in helping businesses understand their dependencies on nature and in building operational biodiversity strategies. The challenge was therefore not just to act occasionally, but to develop models capable of scaling up.

Experimenting with a support method for 9 young companies
The pilot operation "Business and Biodiversity" was selected as part of this regional project.
It allows for the experimentation of a methodology to support a group of 9 pioneering companies in developing an engaging biodiversity strategy and implementing an ambitious action plan.
The operation guides the winning companies through an individual and collective journey of 18 months to develop an adapted and replicable support approach.
Vertigo Lab was directly involved in supporting 4 of them.
BENEFITS
From understanding impacts to operational implementation
Initially, this experimentation supported the companies, through an individualized diagnosis, in understanding their links to ecosystem services, perceiving their impacts, and identifying their levers for action.
This allowed them to define and prioritize their main issues and their strategy, which is outlined in a multi-year action plan.
In a second phase, the companies engaged in the operational implementation of their action plan by involving their stakeholders.
The + Vertigo Lab
An expertise in strategic and operational support for companies on biodiversity, designed to be replicable at the territorial level.
