🌱 About CDC Biodiversité and the GBS

After five years of development, CDC Biodiversité launched in May, 2020, its biodiversity footprint assessment tool: the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS), which makes it possible for companies or financial institutions to evaluate their impact on biodiversity. The GBS has been developed with the Businesses for Positive Biodiversity Club (B4B+), a group of about 10+ financial institutions and 30+ companies, benefiting from extensive road-testing. About 40+ biodiversity footprint assessments of companies have already been completed with the GBS.
