The FAIRR Initiative is a collaborative investor network that raises awareness of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in the global food sector. Our mission is to build a global network of investors who are aware of the issues linked to intensive animal production and seek to minimise the risks within the broader food system. With over 350 members globally, we are the world’s fastest-growing ESG network, representing over $68 trillion in combined assets. We engage in proactive dialogues with investors, companies and stakeholders to address the most material issues, including climate change, deforestation, working conditions, and global human and animal health issues linked to intensive animal farming. We also help investors identify and prioritise these factors through cutting-edge research, which can be integrated into their stewardship and decision-making processes.

Iceberg Data Lab develops science-based environmental data solutions enabling financial institutions to measure the impact of their investments on climate and biodiversity and thus, better manage ecological risks and opportunities.
Main strengths:
- Comprehensiveness: The Corporate Biodiversity Footprint performs an analysis based on products and assesses their impact throughout the value chain (scope 1, 2 and 3 upstream and downstream) of a corporate/asset/Sovereign’s, using reported data from company reports (data collection from analysts) and other publicly available information.
- Granular: Physical flows and environmental footprints are mapped for more 2,000 products and services from 1,200 sectors and 259 countries and regions.
- Scalable: The tool is suitable for assessing performance at corporate level over multiple asset classes and aggregated financial portfolios, comparing issuers within sectors and for comparing individual incremental impact.
- Transparent: clients have access to methodological guides and to the ESG analysts’ team. The Corporate Biodiversity Footprint indicator is supervised by a scientific committee to ensure the quality and the relevance of the approach.
- Actionable and recognized: Our data is compatible with international frameworks (French ‘Article 29’, TNFD, SBTN…). The data provided allows to differentiate past, present, and future impacts and gives the possibility to represent the impacts per pressure, per products and per scopes.
