SUPPLY CHAIN BIODIVERSITY FOOTPRINT
WHAT VALUE DOES SCBF ASSESSMENT PROVIDE?
Our comprehensive supply chain biodiversity footprint assessment (SCBF) goes beyond mere observation and delves into your supply chains activities that have an impact on biodiversity.
Evaluating biodiversity implications of sourcing raw materials, production processes, transportation and other supply chain activities. By evaluating these, we are able to provide you with a clear understanding of the extent to which your company affects the delicate balance of life on our planet.
WHAT WE WILL DO
We employ the innovative tool known as the Biodiversity Input-Output for Supply Chain & Operations Evaluation. We conduct a comprehensive analysis to quantify the biodiversity footprint of organisations supply chains by implementing the species.year metric. This assessment provides insight into which areas pose the greatest threat biodiversity.
Dive deep into your supply chain, evaluating all activities that impact biodiversity. The SCBF assessment provides deeper understanding on how supply chains impact biodiversity regarding factors such as land use changes, resource extraction, pollution, and habitat restoration initiatives, among many more important environmental factors.
STANDARDS AND METHODOLOGIES
This assessment will help us see how economic activities affect biodiversity. It shows how a company can have a measurable impact on nature. This impact is determined in two steps:
- Tunley will figure out how economic activities contribute to the pressures on biodiversity.
- Followed by looking at how these pressures affect nature and measure it in the species.year metric. This helps to understand the health of ecosystems and the area they influence.
These Methods adhere to Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN).

Our assessments align with Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) which enables companies to identify their impact on biodiversity in a quantifiable manner, also enabling companies to reduce their impact.
BIODIVERSITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that over 50% of the world's GDP, equivalent to 44 trillion USD, significantly depends on nature and the services it provides.
KEY DRIVERS OF BIODIVERSITY LOSS
- 01 Habitat Loss
- 02 Climate Change
- 03 Over-Exploitation
- 04 Pollution
- 05 Invasive Species
HABITAT LOSS
Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation, driven by industrial activities and agriculture, are major drivers of the biodiversity crisis.
CLIMATE CHANGE
The alteration of global climate patterns due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases, leads to rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and sea-level rise.
OVER-EXPOLITATION
This involves the unsustainable use of resources such as overfishing, illegal hunting, and logging. It depletes populations and disrupts ecosystems, leading to the loss of species and their habitats.
POLLUTION
This includes air, water, and soil pollution caused by industrial activities, agricultural runoff, and waste disposal. Pollutants can directly harm species and their habitats, affecting their biodiversity.
INVASIVE SPECIES
Non-native species that are introduced to new environments can out-compete native species, disrupt ecosystems, and cause their decline or extinction.
