Institutional investors face growing pressure to integrate environmental risk into portfolio strategy in ways that are transparent, explainable, and investment-relevant. To support this, GIST Impact is partnering with Integrum ESG as its Nature and Biodiversity data and intelligence provider of choice.
Through this collaboration, GIST Impact’s leading nature and biodiversity datasets will be available via Integrum ESG’s analytics platform – strengthening sustainability intelligence for investors navigating rising regulatory and market expectations.
Moving Beyond Simplified Biodiversity Metrics
While climate risk frameworks have matured significantly, nature and biodiversity risk integration is still evolving. Many market solutions rely on sector-level approximations or composite scores that lack transparency or methodological rigour.
GIST Impact’s approach is grounded in asset-level intelligence, ecosystem integrity analytics, and academically robust biodiversity footprinting. Embedded within Integrum’s transparent and auditable analytics environment, financial institutions gain specialist nature intelligence within established investment workflows – without sacrificing explainability.
GIST Impact’s nature and biodiversity intelligence, seamlessly integrated within Integrum ESG’s analytics platform.
What This Means for Investors
For asset managers, asset owners, and wealth managers, this collaboration delivers:
- Robust nature and biodiversity intelligence integrated into ESG workflows
- Audit-ready data supporting alignment with TNFD, EU SFDR, TCFD, and UK SDR
- Forward-looking climate and nature risk visibility
- Enhanced portfolio benchmarking and impact integration
Integrum ESG’s Climate Value at Risk (CVaR) analytics quantify the financial impact of climate transition and physical risks. GIST Impact’s complementary Nature Value at Risk (NVaR) module estimates potential declines in operating capacity from nature degradation, drawing on NGFS-aligned methodologies and dependency pathways – rather than simplified biodiversity scoring.
Together, they represent a meaningful step toward comprehensive environmental financial risk intelligence.
“As investor focus on biodiversity accelerates, it is essential that the data underpinning those decisions is transparent and methodologically robust. We chose to partner with GIST Impact because their asset-level approach and openness around methodology closely mirror our own ‘Glass Box’ philosophy” says Shai Hill, CEO, Integrum ESG
Looking Ahead
Nature and biodiversity are set to become central pillars of investment strategy. By combining Integrum’s platform capabilities with GIST Impact’s datasets, financial institutions can integrate environmental intelligence in ways that are measurable, auditable, and financially relevant.
“We’ve spent close to two decades building robust, science-based nature intelligence that we’re genuinely proud of, and holds up under scrutiny. Partnering with Integrum ESG means our world-class data can reach a whole new set of asset managers through Integrum’s user-friendly workflows” says Mahima Sukhdev, Chief Growth Officer, GIST Impact.
