The pressure to report on nature keeps rising

New and stricter rules such as CSRD and ISSB keep increasing the pressure to report comprehensively and transparently, and questions from a wide range of stakeholders are getting harder to answer. The data behind the answers sits in many different sources, and few teams have the time and people to gather it. Biodiversity and Nature Risk Edition brings it together in one place.

Biodiversity importance

Combines threatened species prevalence, based on IBAT’s STAR metric, with the distance to protected and conserved areas, Key Biodiversity Areas and biodiversity-sensitive areas.

Threatened species within 5 kmProtected and conserved areasKey Biodiversity AreasNatura 2000 and UNESCO sites

Ecosystem integrity

Reflects the current level of ecosystem integrity in the area, after taking human impacts into account, using the Natural History Museum’s Biodiversity Intactness Index.

The index estimates the percentage of the original number of species that remain, and their abundance.

Integrity decline

Categorises the average yearly decrease in the Biodiversity Intactness Index from 2000 to 2020.

2000Past levels of intactness for multiple time horizons

Water risk

Exposure to river flood, flash flood, storm surge or drought, with water scarcity and the condition of local waterways based on 10 quality indicators.

Ecosystem services

Shows how essential an area is for nature’s benefits to people, such as flood protection, pollination, fisheries and fodder production.

One overall score to prioritise

The Overall Ecological Sensitivity Score incorporates the maximum of the five scores, to support prioritisation of sites worthy of closer examination.

The five scores follow the five types of sensitive location in the TNFD recommendations.5

Questions ESG teams ask first

Biodiversity and Nature Risk Edition is a data edition within Location Risk Intelligence, Munich Re’s advanced SaaS platform for managing physical risks from natural hazards and climate change. Munich Re’s natural hazard expertise is joined by datasets from the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT), and the Natural History Museum’s Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII). Its insights are aligned to TNFD, CSRD, EU Taxonomy, among others.

The solution aligns with disclosure requirements across TNFD, CSRD, CSDDD, and EU Taxonomy. Alignment to sector-specific frameworks include EBA Pillar 3, ECB climate and environmental risk guidance, NGFS nature-related risk frameworks, SFDR Biodiversity PAI indicators, and EIOPA/Solvency II biodiversity risk requirements for insurers.

The LEAP process (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) is the TNFD’s recommended methodology for identifying and disclosing nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities. Biodiversity and Nature Risk Edition helps you to operationalise the Locate and Evaluate steps at scale, mapping where business activities interface with nature and evaluating their significance.

Direct access to IBAT or BII delivers raw scientific data that requires significant technical capability to consolidate and harmonise. Biodiversity and Nature Risk Edition integrates all sources into a single structured platform, delivers scores in a consistent format, and links biodiversity and nature risk data to Munich Re’s natural hazard and climate risk models.

Banks, asset managers, and insurers use the data for portfolio risk assessment, Pillar 3 ESG disclosure, and PAI reporting. Corporates use it for CSRD and EU Taxonomy compliance, CSDDD supply chain due diligence, and water risk and ecosystem services dependencies. Real estate investors screen for ecologically sensitive locations and reputational risk.

Biodiversity and Nature Risk Edition is integration-ready via API. Because all data sources are harmonised and delivered in an identical format within the Location Risk Intelligence platform, you can automate disclosures and scale nature risk management without custom data engineering.
