Through the free online platform - the WWF Risk Filter Suite - companies and financial institutions have easy and streamlined access to two distinct and complementary WWF Risk Filter tools - the Biodiversity Risk Filter and Water Risk Filter . This enables users to upload and manage their data in a central and secure platform for seamlessly assessing their biodiversity- and water-related risk assessments. The WWF Risk Filter tools are designed to be used as corporate and portfolio-level screening tools to help identify risks and prioritise corporate action for enhancing business resilience and contributing to a sustainable future. WHO ARE THE WWF RISK FILTER TOOLS FOR? The WWF Risk Filter tools are primarily aimed at companies and financial institutions who wish to understand, assess and respond to their biodiversity and water risks. Both tools include global datasets and allow assessments of any industry sector, so that users regardless of geographic location and industry can use the tool. As the Biodiversity Risk Filter and Water Risk Filter are both spatially explicit screening and prioritisation tools, they are best suited for organizations with 1) location-specific data available and 2) a large portfolio of sites/assets to analyse (e.g., company operational sites and supplier sites). Therefore, these tools are primarily used by medium to large-size companies that have robust value chain information available for analysis. While the tool is suitable for use by financial institutions, the needed input data is often not available, representing a key barrier for using the tools. To support financial institutions that want to assess a broad portfolio of companies, WWF published valuable guidance in the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter Methodology Documentation on: how existing datasets and approaches can be used as proxies for the required location-specific company and supply chain input data of the WWF Risk Filter tools how the output data of the WWF Risk Filter tools can be aggregated to the company and portfolio level.

WWF recommends using both the Biodiversity Risk Filter and Water Risk Filter as they are distinct but complementary tools . The Biodiversity Risk Filter tool covers broad aspects of biodiversity (e.g., freshwater, marine, forest, grasslands, wetlands) and includes some specific indicators from the Water Risk Filter (e.g., water scarcity, water quality, fragmentation status of rivers). While the Biodiversity Risk Filter provides general high-level assessment of biodiversity-related risks, the Water Risk Filter provides a more in-depth assessment of water-related risks (including operational risk assessment, higher resolution datasets and scenario risk assessment). Therefore, the tools are intended to be complementary and offer unique features for assessing and responding to biodiversity and water-related risks. As the two WWF Risk Filter tools...
