Unveiled on the eve of Nature COP 16, the tool provides investors with actionable insights to understand and manage their dependency on nature and the impact of their investments.<\/i><\/p>\n

The tool combines Bloomberg\u2019s best in class data with leading sources of nature and biodiversity data.<\/i><\/p>\n

Bloomberg announced today the launch of data and analytics designed to offer investors a comprehensive assessment of nature-related impacts and dependencies across a company and its value chain, for up to 45,000 companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among its most distinctive features, the offering is powered by a broad set of company-reported Bloomberg data with full transparency to source, and features biodiversity indicators underpinned by the Natural History Museum\u2019s Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII), water stress analysis using World Resources Institute data, deforestation risk analysis, as well as detailed insights on actions companies are taking to reduce nature loss. Furthermore, Bloomberg\u2019s ESG financial materiality scores now factor in biodiversity and natural capital data reported by companies, for sectors where this is relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost $1 trillion of annual financing will be needed by 2030 to sustainably manage biodiversity and maintain the integrity of ecosystems, according to analysis from research provider <\/span>BloombergNEF<\/span><\/a>. This pales in comparison to the anticipated economic cost of biodiversity loss, which the World Bank estimates could result in a decline in global GDP of $2.7 trillion annually by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

Available on the Bloomberg Terminal and via Data License, the new offering combines Bloomberg\u2019s trusted datasets on company revenue segmentation, supply chains and asset locations with nature and biodiversity-related geospatial data. The insights provided include: percentage of company revenue in high nature-risk sectors, involvement in commodities associated with deforestation, percentage of assets in pristine areas, exposure to areas with water stress, and management of nature-related risks such as governance and policies, sustainable sourcing of natural commodities, as well as pollution, waste and water management practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian O\u2019Dwyer, Nature Solutions Product Manager at Bloomberg said:<\/b> \u201cThe dependency of societies and economies on nature is widely recognized, but evaluating the nature-related risks of companies is complex and can not be reduced to a single metric. With Bloomberg’s new offering, users get a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of a company’s dependency and impact on nature, which can be integrated into decision-making through both Bloomberg Terminal and Enterprise Data Solutions. By collaborating with the Natural History Museum, we\u2019re able to provide science-based biodiversity metrics that better reflect the broader ecological context in areas where companies operate than other indicators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The offering helps investors assess their exposure to nature-related risks, make nature-aware investment decisions and align reporting with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, by answering the following questions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
