WHY A BIODIVERSITY FOOTPRINT?
The biodiversity footprint enables ASN to answer the following questions:
✓ Where in the bank’s investment portfolio can we expect the highest impact? ✓ What is the impact on biodiversity of company A? ✓ What is the expected impact on biodiversity of project B? ✓ What are the drivers of this impact (climate change, land-use, etc.)? ✓ Do we address these drivers in investment criteria and engagement efforts? ✓ What actions will effectively contribute to minimising our (negative) impact? ✓ How can we reach the 2030 objective?
