BIODIVERSITY FOR FUTURE CITIES

Biodiversity is the heartbeat of thriving cities. With Sempergreen green roofs and living walls, we transform grey surfaces into habitats for bees, butterflies, and birds. Every project helps restore urban ecosystems, creating healthier, greener, and more resilient places for people and nature to thrive. 

NATURE POSITIVE PROJECTS

Add measurable value to your project: create habitats for pollinators and birds while enhancing urban biodiversity.

BIODIVERSITY AS A STEPPING STONE

Serves as a stepping stone in urban planning, aiding projects in meeting biodiversity targets and certification requirements.

MEET GREEN STANDARDS

Sempergreen biodiverse roofs and walls assist your project in meeting BREEAM, LEED, and DGNB standards, enhancing its sustainability performance.

Our Solutions

Building for Biodiversity

Biodiversity loss is one of today’s biggest challenges. Urbanization has replaced meadows, wetlands, and forests with concrete, leaving little room for nature to thrive. Cities are becoming ecological deserts, where pollinators, birds, and plants struggle to survive. Without healthy ecosystems, urban areas lose resilience – against heat, heavy rainfall, and even food security.

"Here we adhere to the principles of working in harmony with nature."

From climate-neutral to climate-positive: Kuchlbauer sets a new standard with its logistics center.

Revitalize the City!

At Sempergreen, we transform dull rooftops and walls into lively habitats. By introducing vegetation to the built environment, we return space to bees, butterflies, and birds. Our solutions enhance urban biodiversity, connect fragmented green spaces, and fortify the city’s ecological network. Each project contributes to a healthier equilibrium among people, nature, and the urban landscape.

CONSTRUCTING BIODIVERSE ROOFTOPS

Every roof can enhance biodiversity. From small bus stop roofs serving as stepping stones throughout the city to large-scale developments, Sempergreen provides the appropriate green roof system for every project.

A standard Sedum roof already benefits local ecology and can be enhanced with biodiversity packages. Biodiverse roofs with a variety of flowering plants and herbs further enrich nature and add visible ecological value to your project. The right system always depends on the roof load capacity and project goals.

LIVING WALLS
FULL OF LIFE

Green walls are more than a design feature, they are vibrant, living ecosystems. Through a diverse selection of plants, they create a haven for bees, butterflies, birds, and countless other species. Offering food, shelter, and nesting opportunities,

SemperGreenwalls help restore biodiversity right where it’s needed most: in our cities. Each façade becomes a thriving habitat that enriches the urban environment, supports local ecosystems, and brings visible life back into buildings, turning grey into green and nature into part of everyday life.

LIVING INFRASTRUCTURE

The space around infrastructure is packed with green potential. Think traffic islands, roundabouts, embankments, tram tracks, and railway lines, all waiting to be transformed. While rural railway verges already bring a touch of green, cities often miss out. But the space between tram and train rails offers a golden opportunity to add nature and biodiversity back into the urban landscape. With sedum ground cover, even the busiest infrastructure can become a living, vibrant part of the city.

Everything about biodiversity

Find answers to the most common questions about how green roofs and walls improve biodiversity, comfort, and energy savings. 

Which plants are best for biodiversity on a green roof?

Besides Sedum, herbs, native flowers, and host plants significantly enhance ecological value. A diverse mixture attracts more pollinators and supports various life stages of insects.

How do you maintain a biodiverse green roof?

A biodiverse roof typically requires 3–4 maintenance visits per year. This includes fertilizing, removing weeds, and checking drainage. Regular care keeps the vegetation diverse and healthy.

Can a biodiversity roof be combined with solar panels?

Yes, perfectly. Green roofs cool the panels naturally, increasing efficiency and energy yield. Biodiverse vegetation attracts insects without reducing solar performance.

How do green walls support urban wildlife?

These living walls act as stepping stones for mobile arthropods, helping them migrate through urban environments. They also support the broader food web—arthropods feed birds, and naturally occurring predators maintain ecological balance.

How Biodiverse is a SemperGreenwall?

Extremely. A study by Utrecht University found over 2,000 arthropods from 125 species on SemperGreenwalls in just 10 days—compared to only 500 on ivy-clad walls. That’s a 4x increase and proof that the rich plant diversity turns buildings into vibrant ecosystems.

Which animals benefit from a green roof?

Green roofs offer food and shelter to bees, butterflies, hoverflies, beetles, and even birds. Adding features like insect hotels, gravel borders, or logs further increases species diversity.
