Impact Assessment
About this working group
The Impact Assessment working group members share case studies, developments on data and tools, and best practices on various biodiversity measurement approaches.
Objective:
Ensure well-informed investment and financial decisions through better biodiversity measurement and standardised use of data.
Our work:
The working group are currently developing the 5th Edition of the Biodiversity Measurement Approaches Guide in collaboration with the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform (see the 4th Edition here). In addition, we continue to develop the FfB Biodiversity Data Platform and have initiated the construction of the new Measurement Decision Trees by Asset Class. The working group continues to engage and contribute to different market initiatives and publications related to biodiversity measurement and data, such as the TNFD, UNEP, NPI and others.

Subgroups
Impact assessment decision trees
Develop and define practical decision trees (flow charts) by asset class to help financial institutions confidently conduct and disclose their impact assessment results. The objective is to clarify the step-by-step process required for each asset class and specific assessment purpose.
Biodiversity data platform
Develop a digital data catalogue tailored to financial institutions, designed to support the selection of the right data point for the right purpose. The catalogue organises, describes, and classifies nearly 2,000 nature-related data points from over 20 data providers and tool developers, structured across 40 criteria and filters.
Join a working group
All working groups are jointly coordinated by co-chairs representing member institutions and the FfB Secretariat. This co-chair model forms the cornerstone of the Foundation’s bottom-up approach, ensuring strong member ownership and collaborative leadership.
