WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter Methodology Documentation

This document describes the underlying methodology of the Inform, Explore and Assess Modules that have already been integrated in the WWF BRF tool, including a description of the risk assessment framework, underlying structure, data and limitations. In addition, WWF and Climate & Company developed guidances that has not been included into the WWF BRF tool at this point: Guidance A, B and C. Guidance A and B, on the one hand, provide support for companies and financial institutions on 
collecting the required input data for the WWF BRF and WRF Assess Modules. Guidance A supports financial institutions with collecting location-specific proxy data on companies’ operational sites. Guidance B supports companies and financial institutions with collecting location-specific proxy data on supply chain sites. On the other hand, Guidance C provides support for financial institutions on how the location-specific output data from the WWF BRF and WRF Assess Modules can be further processed and aggregated to the company- and portfolio-level.
