RÉSUMÉ
Using the Biodiversity Impact Analytics powered by the Global Biodiversity Score database, this study analyses the impact of 1 b€ in turnover, divided between the STOXX Europe 600’s components.
In 2021, CDC Biodiversité partnered with Carbon4 Finance, a pioneer and leader in climate data and methodologies, to create the Biodiversity Impact Analytics powered by the Global Biodiversity Score (BIA-GBS) database. BIA-GBS assesses the impacts and dependencies of listed assets portfolios on biodiversity, using the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS), a biodiversity footprinting tool that measures the impact of companies on biodiversity across their entire value chain.
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the results provided by BIA-GBS for 1 billion euro in turnover, divided between the STOXX Europe 600’s components, based on their weighting in the index. The aim is to answer several questions: which key sectors are driving portfolio trends? Why do these sectors weigh so heavily in the portfolio’s results? Which pressures are responsible for the majority of impacts?
