Imagine your business is a passenger on a ship, and nature is the ocean. If the ocean gets sick, your ship might sink, even if you aren't the one polluting it. This project builds a giant map and a guidebook to help companies see exactly how they rely on the environment and where they are causing damage. It helps them fix those leaks before they become expensive disasters.
Companies often ignore their dependence on nature because the risks are invisible until a crisis occurs. There is a lack of standardized tools to measure how biodiversity loss creates financial instability across different sectors.
An updated ENCORE knowledge base and a toolbox for measuring and monitoring business impacts and dependencies on biodiversity.
If you are a crop producer dealing with soil degradation and pollinator loss — this project developed a database of dependencies and impacts that helps you identify which ecosystem services are critical to your yield and how to protect them.
If you are an investment bank dealing with unpredictable nature-related financial risks in your portfolio — this project developed a toolbox to measure and monitor biodiversity impacts that allows you to better price risk and identify sustainable opportunities.
If you are a retailer dealing with complex supply chains and pressure for public accountability — this project developed methods to reduce biodiversity risks and indicators to monitor progress across your entire value chain.
Based on available project data, pricing information is not provided as the project focuses on developing the knowledge base and toolbox.
The project is currently developing a database and toolbox intended to function across all economic sectors and value chains, but full-scale deployment evidence is not yet detailed.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project aims to promote public accountability and inform regulatory agencies.
It provides a toolbox to measure, assess, and monitor impacts on biodiversity, which helps companies inform regulatory agencies and meet reporting requirements.
The project provides a database of dependencies and impacts and a set of indicators that can be used to monitor progress and report on nature-positive outcomes.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward non-profit and research entities, with 5 'Other' organizations and 3 research institutes. With only 1 industry partner and 2 SMEs (a 9% industry ratio), the project is driven by scientific validation and policy alignment rather than immediate commercial product development.
