Corporate Biodiversity Footprint

Iceberg Data Lab (IDL) is an environmental data provider for financial institutions, best known for its Corporate Biodiversity Footprint — measured in mean species abundance (MSA.km²) via a pressure-based, GLOBIO-style approach — and a Deforestation Footprint. It covers corporates, sovereigns and listed equities and bonds globally, supporting SFDR Article 29, CSRD and TNFD reporting, and complements biodiversity with climate metrics. Distinctive as one of the more established corporate-biodiversity-footprint datasets for investors, quantifying biodiversity impact in comparable physical units rather than qualitative scores.

Vendor methodology

Transparency Score

Beta

Public transparency, not model quality iThe Transparency Score (0–3) estimates public methodological transparency: the degree to which the vendor's analytical approach to modeling climate and nature risk can be assessed from publicly available sources. It is explicitly not a measure of vendor quality or accuracy.

Methodology-relevant: vendor websites or external resources explain methodological details.

Methodology-relevant: a public CBF methodological guide plus SB2A method document set out the approach reconstructably — environmental input-output modelling and LCA feeding the GLOBIO3 model to link five named pressure categories to biodiversity loss in MSA.km2 (CBD/IPBES-aligned), on named databases (IBAT, FAO, IMF).
