At CDC Biodiversité, we combine scientific excellence with practical tools to drive biodiversity action worldwide. As creators of the GBS, we provide training, guidance, and a robust platform that empowers organisations to integrate biodiversity into their strategies. Our community approach ensures that every user benefits from shared expertise, collective innovation, and a proven, science-based methodology.
Pioneering biodiversity impact measurement for a sustainable future
We developed the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) and built a global ecosystem to help companies, financial institutions, and consultancies measure and reduce their biodiversity footprint.
Our Mission
Science-based solutions for real-world biodiversity challenges
Our mission is to provide decision-makers with a reliable, transparent, and actionable way to measure and manage biodiversity impacts and dependencies, directly based on their own activity data. By turning complex science into a single recognised metric, we enable consistent reporting, alignment with global frameworks, and strategic insights, where the precision of your data drives the depth of your decisions.
Our Ecosystem
A global network committed to halting biodiversity loss
GBS Developers
We created and continuously improve the GBS, ensuring its robustness, improving the level of detail and accuracy of impact and dependency assessments, alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and compliance with regumatory and voluntary frameworks (TNFD, CSRD, SBTN, GRI).
Trainers & capacity builders
We train companies, financial institutions, and consultancies to perform biodiversity footprint assessment with the GBS effectively, from beginners to certified GBS assessors, and support them beyond training in measuring their biodiversity footprint, setting objectives and targets, and monitoring their trajectories over time.
Enablers for consultants
We equip consulting firms to conduct biodiversity footprint measurements on behalf of their clients, extending the reach and impact of the GBS.
