WWF – Biodiversity Risk Filter
Global
What is it?
The WWF is an independent conservation organization active in nearly 100 countries, working to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife.
What is it?
Launched in January 2023, the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter is a free online tool that can be used by companies and investors across a wide range of industries – including food and beverage, textile, retail, mining, manufacturing, and finance – to understand, assess, and respond to their biodiversity risks and opportunities within their operations.
Users need to register for free to use the tool, but unregistered users have access to the inform and explore modules.
The tool provides risk maps on multiple biodiversity and environmental risks covering physical, regulatory, and reputational risks for both terrestrial and marine regions. For example, tree cover loss, protected/conserved or key biodiversity areas, and limited marine fish availability, as well as national and sub-national level risk profiles all based predominantly on freely available external, peer-reviewed datasets.
These allow registered users to identify risks and potential improvement actions based on the location of their operations or sourcing region.
