Nature Exchange Group: Integrating the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter into MSCI Data

In the third session of the Nature Exchange Group, WWF Switzerland and MSCI will explain how the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter is now integrated into MSCI data and the implications this has for financial actors and companies within their portfolios. The session will feature an explanatory presentation and the perspective of both, financials and companies. Financials will learn how to interpret the MSCI data, while companies will learn how to use it for their suppliers and understand the potential implications for their business with the financial industry, including investors gaining access to more detailed data.

In the second half of the session, participants have the possibility to ask questions and share their thoughts, followed by an interactive discussion with a hands-on case study so participants get a first sense on how to use the data.
