The Nature & Biodiversity Risk dataset assesses nature-related impacts and dependencies across a company’s direct operations that can be applied at the asset, company, and portfolio level. The dataset applies the Nature Risk Profile, a new methodology for analyzing companies' impacts and dependencies on nature, launched by S&P Global Sustainable1 and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in January 2023.

The Nature & Biodiversity Risk dataset supports companies, investors, and entities as they seek to understand, manage, and mitigate exposure of corporates and portfolios to nature-related risks and impacts. The dataset is in line with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) LEAP approach and can be leveraged by market participants for more transparent alignment with the TNFD recommendations.

This dataset includes:

• 130+ metrics to measure impacts and dependencies on nature & biodiversity
• Ecosystem Footprint metrics to measure impact, and Dependency Scores to measure dependencies across 21 Ecosystem Services
• Impact and dependency metrics for 20,000+ public and private companies
• Leverages database of over 1.6 million assets mapped to corporate owners, based on S&P Global and other third-party datasets
• Overlap with Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) and Protected Areas (PA) screening metrics and visualization
• Understand nature risk exposures using maps and results visualizations in desktop-enabled solution
