Screening investments
Screen securities, develop best-in-class portfolios, and create funds or indices with our biodiversity, climate and regulatory solutions
Iceberg Data Lab’s Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) Score enables investors to screen companies based on their biodiversity impact, delivering a more biodiversity-conscious and nature-positive strategy.
HSBC Asset Management use our CBF Score to screen their HSBC World ESG Biodiversity Screened Equity UCITS ETF by excluding companies with a CBF score of 5 or 6.
HSBC also use our data to provide insights on the biodiversity impact in km² of the ETF compared to a market benchmark.
Screen your portfolio/fund for high-climate impact issuers using our SB2A tool
Use our Science-Based 2°C Alignment (SB2A) metric to evaluate the climate alignment of companies with the Paris Agreement, screening out those with a projected warming trajectory above 2°C.
The chart shows the initial portfolio, including high-carbon emitters. The companies under the threshold can be included in a Paris agreement-aligned portfolio. Only companies on a sustainable 2° pathway remain, ensuring lower climate risk and stronger ESG compliance.
Risk management
Enhance your risk management processes by identifying current and future environmental risks
Use Iceberg Data Lab’s Dependency Score module to identify high-risk sectors in your portfolio.
Aviva use Iceberg Data Lab to identify drivers of overall scores – including positive and negative impacts.

In 2023, AXA IM undertook engagement activities using Iceberg Data Lab’s Corporate Biodiversity Footprint.
Iceberg Data Lab’s Corporate Biodiversity Footprint helped AXA IM to select and prioritise sectors and companies which present a significant biodiversity footprint.
From there, engagements with the issuers were shaped by considering a company’s main pressures on biodiversity, illustrated by its biodiversity footprint.
As a result of the program, over a third of the engagements carried out referenced biodiversity pressures.
Regulatory compliance & reporting
Iceberg Data Lab offers comprehensive corporate climate and biodiversity impact datasets to enable compliance with key regulations, including the SFDR, EU Taxonomy, TNFD, TCFD and Article 29 (FR).
Iceberg Data Lab allows asset managers to integrate granular biodiversity and climate data into sustainability reporting and benchmarking.
Improve your climate reporting
Amundi use Iceberg Data Lab to report on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions – allowing them to analyze the highest-emitting sectors within their portfolios.
Improve your biodiversity reporting
In their 2024 Group Climate and Biodiversity Report, AXA IM uses the Corporate Biodiversity Footprint (CBF) to analyze, at a portfolio level, the biodiversity-related impact of investment activities following a similar logic to the calculation of an investment portfolio’s carbon footprint.
Here AXA has reported that, for every million euros invested in listed equity, 0.02km² of pristine nature has been artificialized in a year as a result.
