The WWF BRF is a free-of-charge, web-based, spatially explicit corporate- and portfolio-level screening and prioritisation tool for biodiversity-related risks. It allows companies to understand and assess the biodiversity-related risks of their operational locations and their suppliers and to prepare an appropriate response plan. By the same logic, financial institutions can assess biodiversity-related risks for all companies in a given portfolio. The current version of the WWF BRF tool consists of three key modules: the Inform Module, which provides an overview of the industry-specific dependencies on ecosystem services and impacts on biodiversity; the Explore Module, which is a collection of spatially explicit maps of the importance and local integrity of biodiversity; and the Assess Module, which contains a tailored physical and reputational risk assessment for which users need to input location-specific company and/or supply chain data.
