Learn How BIOaudit™ Can Strengthen Your Program [![ACRT-1865](https://info.acrt.com/hubfs/ACRT-1865.jpg "ACRT-1865")](https://info.acrt.com/hubfs/PDF%20Downloads/UAA%20Newsline%20-%20Fast%20Tracking%20UVM%20Without%20Sacrifice%20-%20Sean%20Donegan%20and%20Troy%20Ross%20-%2012.1.2021.pdf) ### WHY BIOaudit™ MATTERS More than ever, utilities and associated organizations are being called upon to explain their efforts in promoting pollinator and vegetation health in order to determine ROI and support ESG goals. Historically, this has been difficult to quantify — making it even harder for utilities to justify IVM efforts and communicate value. That’s why ACRT Services launched the BIOaudit™ assessment — to evaluate ROW corridor health and biodiversity over time and provide quantifiable data that vegetation management leaders can act upon and communicate with the world. ### BIOaudit™ EMPOWERS ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS TODAY’S CHALLENGES A BIOaudit™ assessment program delivers value across four key areas: ![BIOaudit Icons-05](https://info.acrt.com/hubfs/BIOaudit%20Icons-05.png "BIOaudit Icons-05") ### Cost Savings If your environment is thriving, related maintenance costs are reduced.
