Decoding Biodiversity.
Discover our latest news and insights.
The selection of biodiversity metrics is widely debated. The answer depends on the role the metrics are intended to play.
How to design nature-positive strategies
Many companies invest significant time and money in conducting a biodiversity footprint, yet struggle to turn it into operational decisions. In this article, we explore how to make a biodiversity analysis truly actionable.
Biodiversity is fast becoming a material issue for fashion: we break down how fashion brands can measure their biodiversity footprint and what steps they can take to align with SBTN and nature strategies.
For decades, economic growth was seen as the ultimate marker of progress — but what if that model no longer fits the world we live in?
How easy it is for companies to meaningfully reduce their impacts & dependencies on biodiversity? How should one go about developing a robust, comprehensive nature strategy?
How can businesses set nature and biodiversity targets? Are we stuck with vague, qualitative goals, or can we leverage science-based objectives similar to the CO2 landscape?
How to assess nature-related impacts & risks
We explore how biodiversity should be integrated into ESG due diligences and how investors can turn these assessments into actionable insights. We have illustrated two different cases: high-level ESG due diligences integrating biodiversity and in-depth biodiversity due-diligences.
Carbon looks at emissions, biodiversity at five broader pressures on nature. Bridging the two helps companies turn carbon data into actionable insights for ecosystems.
Explore the role and limitations of LCA for biodiversity, and how Darwin can help bridge the gap from product-level assessment to a scalable, organisation-wide biodiversity footprint.
Marine biodiversity assessment lags behind land-based tools, with impact and risk methods still in early stages. Why is this the case and how can we close the gap?
The selection of biodiversity metrics is widely debated. The answer depends on the role the metrics are intended to play.
Invasive alien species (IAS) are among the most destructive yet overlooked drivers of biodiversity loss. Explore how IAS spread and how can one leverages trade exposure as a proxy for assessing IAS risks.
What do we mean by biodiversity-related risks? And how should corporates go about assessing current biodiversity risk exposure?
Emerging technologies are critical to tackling the biodiversity’s “data challenge.” Discover how Earth Observation (EO) and AI are revolutionizing biodiversity measurement, making analysis more accessible and scalable.
How to report against nature frameworks
In the race to integrate biodiversity into business and investment decisions, location matters. Discover what leading frameworks recommend on the matter.
The CSRD requires companies to report their biodiversity impacts and dependencies, giving it the same importance as CO2 emissions. However, ESRS E4 is quite technical. In this article, we clarify what the standard covers.
The nature reporting market remains fragmented, but some corporate frameworks are quickly gaining momentum for biodiversity assessment. Let’s take a closer look at which ones are leading the way.
How to understand Nature & Biodiversity
The planetary boundary framework is highly valuable as it identifies key environmental limits, including biodiversity loss, within which humanity can safely operate. Discover how we think about it at darwin.
How is location taken into account in nature reporting?
In the race to integrate biodiversity into business and investment decisions, location matters. Discover what leading frameworks recommend on the matter.
CSRD: what are the key requirements on biodiversity (ESRS E4)?
The CSRD requires companies to report their biodiversity impacts and dependencies, giving it the same importance as CO2 emissions. However, ESRS E4 is quite technical. In this article, we clarify what the standard covers.
What are the main corporate reporting frameworks on biodiversity?
The nature reporting market remains fragmented, but some corporate frameworks are quickly gaining momentum for biodiversity assessment. Let’s take a closer look at which ones are leading the way.
