BPCA has joined the UK Business and Biodiversity Forum (UKBBF), a national network focused on helping businesses integrate biodiversity into their decision-making.
As the professional association for public health pest control, we know that managing pests in a way that respects and supports biodiversity is essential.
BPCA chief executive, Rosina Robson, has also joined the UKBBF steering committee, helping shape strategy and promote the Forum’s work.
Ms Robson said: “Pest management and biodiversity are not at odds – in fact, they go hand in hand. We’re looking forward to contributing to national conversations and bringing back the best insights to support our members’ work.
“By becoming a member of the UKBBF, we’ll be better placed to keep up with the latest UK and international policy developments, which will directly inform the sustainability resources and guidance we provide to our members.”
Ms Robson said the group is well-networked with the government, NGOs, and influential businesses, opening up new opportunities for BPCA to advocate for its members while highlighting the role pest management plays in protecting public health and the environment.
