The Compleat Nature Community

We want to rebalance the relationship between business and nature. In August 2023, Compleat Nature was launched across the Group, and fully established by 35 enthusiastic nature-lovers across Compleat by October, with the aim of promoting and protecting biodiversity at all of our sites.

The group will be working within the local community on a range of projects, including litter picking, and will be increasing biodiversity around sites by planting for pollinators, installing bird boxes, bug and bee hotels, and spreading awareness on the importance of nature recovery and conservation.

In 2024/25, we plan to have a champion based at each site to help drive local initiatives and encourage more colleagues to get involved. As part of this we’ll be creating a regular newsletter and updating the group’s new community page with useful information and inspirational reminders of the value of nature and our shared responsibility to look after it.

It’s been fantastic to have the support from Compleat to build this community group. Together with colleagues throughout the business, we want to create biodiverse habitats and wildlife corridors for nature and wildlife. Pollinators desperately need our help to recover, and we’re excited to see what can be achieved on our Group sites.
