Corporate Biodiversity Footprint - Measure and Manage Your Biodiversity Impact

From boardrooms to sustainability reports, Iceberg Data Lab's Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) is a clear yet granular metric to quantify investment impacts on nature.

The CBF measures a company's impact on biodiversity in a region, comparing it to the natural state of that ecosystem before human intervention. The CBF is measured as:

To calculate the CBF, Iceberg Data Lab uses globally renowned scientific databases, including IBAT, FAO, the IMF and other key databases, measuring environmental pressures along the value chain.

Why Choose Our Solution?

Investment impacts on nature are complex to measure. The CBF offers both granular data on key environmental pressures at a commodity and upstream/downstream level and a high-level, easy-to-understand metric, meeting strategic and reporting needs.

• Compare companies and portfolios on a single biodiversity impact metric.

• Drill down by pressure, sector, and value chain stage to inform engagement.

• Use as a core KPI for biodiversity strategies and reporting.

Companies harm nature (impacts) but also rely on it (dependencies). Our scores reveal both.

CBF covers impacts. Iceberg Data Lab's Dependency Scores tackle dependencies—for a complete nature risk view.

Dependency Scores measure a company's dependence on ecosystem services in three categories: regulating services, provisioning services, and cultural services.

Why Choose Our Solution?

Our Dependency Scores are IBAT-aligned and cover a company's activities across all sectors and scopes (1, 2, and 3) of activity, allowing you to dig deep into supply chain dependencies and nature risks in your portfolios.
