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.

Absolute biodiversity impact 

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