Environmental Risk Data

Organisations are coming under pressure to determine how they interact with nature, both in terms of their impacts, but also how much their operations, investments, and strategies depend on natural capital. Both regulators and investors are asking for data-led reporting related to complex areas, including biodiversity, deforestation, water pollution, air quality and waste generation. At the same time, businesses need to successfully anticipate, manage and mitigate disruptions to operations and supply chains from the growing impacts of natural hazards. The amplifying role of contextual factors such as climate change, geopolitics and evolving legislation is also increasingly on the agenda.

Our Environmental Risk Data provides organisations with a global view of their exposure to nature risk and natural hazards, comparable across 198+ countries. Granular subnational data enables screening of assets, suppliers, and portfolios for 22 risk factors covering the state of the natural environment, the legislative situation, and physical threats. The Data enables companies to assess their risk exposure, highlight resilience gaps, identify opportunities to reduce impacts and dependencies, and report those risks and exposures in line with international benchmarks such as the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Science Based Targets Network.

Other factors, such as governance, corruption, poverty or indigenous peoples’ rights, can be integrated from other datasets to provide further understanding into the overall environmental risk landscape, while our Climate Risk Data offers powerful geospatial insight into how climate change will evolve over time.
