Biodiversity mapping & Analysis

Impact/dependency screening.

Start your biodiversity journey by identifying and assessing the double materiality of your nature-related impacts and dependencies.

This screening offers a data-driven and structured starting point for for understanding the material importance of biodiversity in your organization. It lays the groundwork for strategic direction, actionable initiatives and accurate reporting.

Biodiversity in the value chain (off-site).

Act where it matters the most.

We perform hotspot analyses to identify high-impact areas, assess data needs – including gaps – and develop sourcing criteria. Our approach mobilizes initiatives that effectively address material impacts and risks in your value chain.

This field can be tailored in various ways, but leveraging data and targeting low-hanging fruit are often central themes.

Nature-Positive potential analysis

Discover nature-positive opportunities tailored around your business model and existing sustainability initiatives.

This analysis draws on technical research and insights from the market and competitors to provide actionable recommendation.

By identifying synergies between sustainability goals and business objectives, we help you position your organization for success in a nature-positive future.

Biodiversity footprint/baseline.

Establish a biodiversity footprint/baseline using best-practice software.

While ESRS 4 reporting focuses on compliance, a biodiversity footprint takes you further by providing a detailed measurement of your actual biodiversity impacts – not just the material ones.

This is essential for tracking your progress towards a nature-positive balance, ensuring that positive actions outweigh negative impacts.

Why start with Biodiversity mapping & Analysis?

  • To identify high-impact areas for intervention that can serve as a foundation for effective biodiversity action.
  • To reduce negative impacts and risks associated with biodiversity while enhancing future resilience and market potentials.
  • Because business ecosystems are increasingly demanding biodiversity data from their suppliers and customers in response to the CSRD.
  • Because consumers are increasingly seeking transparency regarding the impact of products on nature and biodiversity.

Opportunities:

The level of detail required can vary depending on where you are in your biodiversity journey.

If you are entering uncharted territory and compliance is not the primary concern, it typically makes sense to start with a screening using recognized tools and methodologies such as SBTN, ENCORE and/or WWF Risk Filter.

By leveraging these methodologies, we can quickly identify, qualify, and prioritize the most significant impacts and dependencies that your core business and value chain have on nature and biodiversity.

If you are already on this path and seek a more comprehensive foundation for engaging stakeholders and securing compliance, we can assist you in preparing documentation for ESRS 4 (CSRD compliance). This is further described in the service “ESRS 4 & Biodiversity Reporting.”

The opportunities are vast, and our services can be tailored to your specific situation and budget.
