In addition, BOPs can become places of relaxation and improve the well-being of employees and society. Discover the many possibilities!

EU LIFE Project

In the project LIFE BooGI-BOP seven European partners from Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Spain have teamed up to promote biodiversity-oriented design of business premises in Europe. Among other things, we support you by providing initial guidance that gives you a first impression of the design potential, the search for a suitable service provider for planning and implementation and credible communication.

The project EU LIFE BooGI-BOP (LIFE17 GIE/DE/000466) is funded by EU LIFE, the European Union’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action.
