Environmental and energy data analytics company Kayrros announced today the launch of its Nature Impact Platform, designed to enable financial institutions to measure biodiversity risks and environmental impacts at the asset level and reduce biodiversity loss.
Founded in 2016, Paris-based Kayrros develops environmental intelligence platforms that help financial institutions, corporates, governments and traders monitor activity such as emissions, energy production and supply chain dynamics on a global scale.
According to Kayrros, the new platform aims to address the finance sector’s biodiversity “blind spot” typified by fragmented and incomplete data that limits investors’ ability to assess nature-related risks and meet evolving regulatory requirements. As biodiversity regulation accelerates, including TNFD, SFDR, CSRD and France’s Article 29, financial institutions are facing growing pressure to integrate measurable biodiversity metrics into investment decision-making.
The company said that its platform is designed to address this gap by utilizing machine learning, satellite imagery and geospatial data to deliver nature impact insights at the individual asset level. The platform provides up-to-date metrics, enabling investors to integrate biodiversity risks into due diligence, portfolio construction and reporting.
Antoine Rostand, President at Kayrros said:
“Biodiversity risk is financial risk — yet until now, it has been largely invisible to markets. By combining satellite data, artificial intelligence and financial expertise, we are making nature measurable at the asset level. Together with BNP Paribas Asset Management, we are turning biodiversity from a blind spot into a strategic decision factor for global finance.”
The company said that its new platform was developed over the past year and piloted by BNP Paribas Asset Management across Europe on a range of real asset classes, including solar farms, data centers and energy utilities. According to Karryos, the pilot project resulted in faster biodiversity impact analysis, improved project selection and capital allocation, and the identification of ecologically sensitive zones surrounding assessed projects.
Thibaud Clisson at BNP Paribas Asset Management said:
“Integrating biodiversity into investment decisions requires data that is robust, precise, and actionable. The Nature Impact Platform allows us to move from fragmented datasets to asset-level intelligence. It strengthens our risk management, enhances regulatory compliance, and enables us to direct capital toward projects that are aligned with both performance and lower nature-impacts.”
