Biodiversity is complicated, but assessing your biodiversity risks doesn't have to be. That's why we've developed a comprehensive, science-based approach to help your business assess its biodiversity risks and opportunities in line with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). With GIST Impact, you can: 🔍 Discover your business’ exposure to biophysical risks across 13 metrics, including Mean Species Abundance, Water Stress, and Temperature Variability.   📊 Quantify your business’ impact on natural capital, manage transition risks, and enhance outreach with affected communities. 📈 Benchmark results against 15,000+ global companies and explore trends from 2016. 🔩 Drill down into your business’ biodiversity footprint to identify the main impact drivers. But what if your company isn’t on our database? No problem—just send us your data, and we’ll run the analysis for you. Ready to assess your impact on biodiversity? 🌿 #Biodiversity #Sustainability #TNFD #NaturalCapital

When you think of biodiversity, what comes to mind? 🪸 It’s beautiful, 🌱 Delicate yet resilient, 🐝 And vital to sustaining life on Earth. So, you’d be forgiven for thinking it would be tough to accurately measure your impact on it!

We measure biodiversity impacts in terms of 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 of species (PDF). This academically-preferred metric quantifies the annual global species extinction risk resulting from a company’s operations. We also present PDF as 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁, measured in km²– think of it as the amount of pristine nature transformed into an urban area. 🖼️ What’s more, we evaluate a company’s dependencies on all 25 ecosystem services listed in the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) (e.g. Air Filtration and Pollination). We rank these dependencies using the widely-known ENCORE system, giving you a complete picture of how your company impacts biodiversity. ☝️𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹–𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮.
