Understanding the basic science of biodiversity
Biodiversity is enormously complex. This presentation explains several foundational concepts that investors can use to build knowledge.
Our approach to biodiversity
We see biodiversity research as the next step in assessing the potential impact of climate change on markets and the economy. Consistent with our data-driven approach to ESG and climate research, our biodiversity work focuses on financial materiality across asset classes, regions, and securities over the long term.
Why investors should take note of biodiversity loss
Broad scientific consensus, along with our work to date with Woodwell Climate Research Center and the MIT Joint Program for the Science and Policy of Global Change, has helped us conclude that biodiversity loss may be a material and relevant financial risk consideration for companies and their investors. Here, were detail our views and share steps investors can take to learn more.
Engaging with companies on biodiversity
We believe engagement is our most powerful tool to achieve better investment outcomes while pursuing robust climate-risk management. Our ESG Research Team believes in prioritizing conversations with companies that, in our view, have material exposure to biodiversity-related financial risks.
Sharing knowledge on biodiversity
As with any rapidly evolving area, we continually strive to interpret changing client, market, and regulatory priorities around biodiversity — particularly for disclosure and risk management. We have joined several industry groups to learn from and contribute practitioners’ perspectives on developing policies and practices.
