Analysis of the impact of a Stoxx Europe 600 portfolio on biodiversity

Detalles

In 2021, CDC Biodiversité partnered with Carbon4 Finance, a pioneer and leader in climate data and methodologies, to create the Biodiversity Impact Analysis Database powered by the Global Biodiversity Score (BIA-GBS). BIA-GBS assesses the impacts and dependencies of portfolios of listed assets on biodiversity, using the GBS, a biodiversity footprint measurement tool that measures the impact of companies on biodiversity throughout their value chain.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of the results provided by BIA-GBS for €1 billion in turnover, divided among the components of the STOXX Europe 600, according to their weighting in the index. The aim is to answer several questions: which key sectors are driving portfolio trends? Why do these sectors have such an important weight in the results of the portfolio? What pressures are responsible for most of the impacts?
