The Biodiversity Impact Analytics powered by the Global Biodiversity Score™ (BIA-GBS) allows to measure the biodiversity impact of companies. Investors can identify biodiversity hotspots in their portfolios and use biodiversity impact data for decision making and to engage with key stakeholders. By offering large-scale biodiversity data, BIA-GBS™ supports the transition of the financial sector to align with international targets and reduce the impact from multiple pressures on biodiversity, including Climate Change.


CDC Biodiversité is a private subsidiary of the Caisse des Depôts Group, the largest French public financial institution. Besides having a history as a biodiversity offset operator, CDC Biodiversité is involved in a leading biodiversity institution, focusing on biodiversity economics, biodiversity financing mechanisms and natural capital. CDC Biodiversité expertise and Carbon4 Finance climate data naturally complement each other.

Biodiversity Impacts

We consider 11 major terrestrial & aquatic biodiversity pressures, including land use change, wetland conversion, hydrological disturbances, climate change, encroachment. Those 11 pressures cover 4 out of 5 drivers of biodiversity loss identified by the IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services).

Covering 4 out of 5 IPBES drivers of biodiversity loss 

In line with reporting on climate change and GHG emissions, we distinguish the biodiversity impact on Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect, energy consumption) and Scope 3 (indirect, others upstream and downstream).


Bubble.png

Impact for each scope (1, 2 and 3)

Measure your impact in MSA.km2 for each biome (aquatic and terrestrial). MSA.km2 is a surfacic biodiversity intactness indicator, which is used to evaluate static (historic) and dynamic (year-on-year) impacts. Static and dynamic impacts are aggregated in MSAppb* for easier comparison amongst portfolios and constituents.

We provide impact intensities expressed in MSAppb* per EURm of revenue, or MSAppb* per EURm invested in the portfolio or individual constituent.

We provide a comprehensive database of carbon footprints based on our Carbon Impact Analytics (CIA) methodology, thus measuring contribution to the transition towards a low-carbon economy, and the inherent exposure to transition risks. Precise metrics enhance investment decisions, climate risk management, alignment with the low carbon transition and sustainable finance reporting.


In addition to induced emissions, we calculate emissions savings - which comprise reduced emissions based on process efficiency improvement over several years, and avoided emissions resulting from the company’s activities or products.


Carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 & 3 ) and emissions savings

Quantitative and qualitative analysis, based on physical flows and climate change strategy, relying on public corporate information. To ensure reliable results, each company is assessed by a climate data analyst, then reviewed by a sectoral expert.


Holistic view on a company’s performance

Developed by in-house experts, our sectoral methodologies are designed to best capture climate leaders and laggards at industry level.

Transition Risks

Climate Risk Impact Screening (CRIS) is a method developed for financial service providers to assess the exposure of their portfolio to climate-related physical risks. This method, designed to flag potential risks and inform investment strategy, is a function of location-specific climate hazards and sector-specific vulnerability.

Our methodology is based on geographic and sectorial breakdowns of each company’s activity, resulting in an in-depth assessment of portfolio’s physical vulnerability to climate change.


Combining Climate Hazards & Vulnerability Profile

 Our methodology uses a sector specific value-chain vulnerability assessment, enabling comprehensive risk assessment at entity level.


Value chain approach

The three IPCC scenarios used, which describe GHG emissions trajectories and their respective global warming levels (low, moderate and high), are universally recognized and provide a consistent foundation for scenario testing. 


Science-based methodology, based on IPCC Scenarios

At entity level, ratings calculated for each activity and geographic region are then aggregated in order to quickly identify the differences in risks incurred by companies. At portfolio level, scores of each underlying entity are ultimately aggregated, helping to understand and manage the portfolio's level of risk.


Physical risk rating at entity & portfolio level

We align with leading frameworks (TCFD, article 29).


As well as the savoir-faire of Carbone 4, a leading French low carbon strategy consulting firm, with a confirmed expertise in physical risks and climate adaptation.


We ensure you handle perfectly our solution thanks to a technical training provided by a dedicated analyst.
