The significant impact that climate change will have on all our lives is leading to a fundamental reassessment of how natural resources are valued and managed. At Fisher German, our expertise spans agriculture, property development and sustainable energy, enabling us to expertly guide our clients, landowners, and developers.
Soil carbon
We support clients to manage their soil as part of regenerative farming practices and there are clear benefits of improving organic matter in soil.
A 1% increase in soil’s organic matter: raises waterholding capacity by around 224,000 litres per hectare provides sufficient food for around 1,000kg earthworm biomass increases crop available nitrogen by approximately 30kg/ ha per year

Delivering Net Zero
As the Government’s 2050 net zero target approaches, we’re here to help you meet your sustainability goals while optimising your return on investment.
The Government has recently reinforced its net zero ambitions by proposing updates to energy performance legislation, with a clear focus on improving sustainability standards in commercial real estate. In response, investors and occupiers are placing greater emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental performance in their decision-making.
As a result, integrating sustainability into property management strategies is essential for safeguarding asset value and enhancing long term returns.
We provide advice on:
• EPC’s and lodging

The Green Offset
In response to the growing demand for identifying suitable sites for natural capital services, The Green Offset, an innovative platform provided by Fisher German, seamlessly connects Offset Providers (landowners) with Offset Seekers (those looking for areas to site natural capital assets).
Offset Seekers: For Offset Seekers:
• Simple and affordable: Easily search for offset sites and other land requirements at a low cost
• Time efficient: Save time by quickly locating offset providers without the hassle of direct searches
• Flexible solutions: Evaluate whether multiple habitat requirements are best met through single or multiple sites
Case study:
We were instructed by NFC to investigate how it may be possible to stack public and private finance alongside the delivery of established schemes.
This project highlighted how a blended finance approach could be used to drive the delivery of multiple environmental outcomes. We conducted in-depth analysis of all public and private funding available. Outputs included several case studies to illustrate how this blended finance approach can be used to drive the delivery of multiple environmental outcomes.
The project culminated in a pilot site maximising the funding available for environmental benefits and achieving a viable investment prospect with nature at the core.
