Just two weeks before the official launch of the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) platform, CDC Biodiversité made waves at BIG 2025, the flagship event organized by Bpifrance. Arthur Campredon, Director of Biodiversity Footprint Measurement at CDC Biodiversité, led a masterclass on democratizing biodiversity impact assessment—now available in French
Key takeaways from the BIG 2025 Masterclass
- Biodiversity as a strategic lever: Like carbon accounting, measuring biodiversity impact is becoming essential for businesses and financial institutions. 75% of global GDP indeed depends on nature; companies unprepared for nature-related risks face financial instability and lost competitive advantage (due to supply chain disruptions, regulatory penalties, reputational damage, etc.)
- Science-based action: The session underscored the need for data-driven strategies to integrate biodiversity into corporate decision-making.
- Biodioversity footprinting as a strategic lever of action: understanding biodiversity footprint is the first step to building a resilient biodiversity strategy as it allows to identify where impacts and dependencies on biodiversity occur, across value chains; set science-based targets and track progress over time and align corporate strategies with international frameworks (CSRD, TNFD).
The Global Biodiversity Score platform: a game-changer for organisations
On October 7, 2025, CDC Biodiversité is launching the GBS SaaS platform, designed to:
✔ Simplify biodiversity footprint calculations with standardized metrics.
✔ Deliver actionable insights for immediate strategy implementation.
✔ Empower organisations to align with science-based biodiversity goals.
