“Establishing a Comprehensive and Granular Analysis That Integrates Localization Issues”

The working group dedicated to the biodiversity theme “Establishing a Comprehensive and Granular Analysis That Integrates Localization Issues”, stands out for its depth in addressing biodiversity-related impacts and dependencies in relation to the geographical context and ecological surroundings of a business’s operations.
Co-founded by Candriam, this working group aims to develop a practical guide for investors, regulators, and other stakeholders, focusing on existing analysis methodologies and potential enhancements. These improvements are particularly directed toward conducting a tiered analysis of both positive and negative impacts on biodiversity, with an emphasis on the importance of localizing corporate activities to provide an accurate assessment of biodiversity impacts and dependencies. This guide will enable investors and asset managers to shape their biodiversity strategies by considering the localization of corporate activities as a fundamental factor. Additionally, the group seeks to explore recommendations for a more ambitious regulatory framework to strengthen biodiversity protection measures.
