Our Solutions
Customizable tools and data at your fingertips
With our expertise in spatial data analysis, we can provide unique insights into the environmental, economic, and political landscape. Our core offering analyses supply chain risks, infrastructure resilience, climate impacts and biodiversity loss. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, we equip our clients to stay informed about the risks and opportunities in their sphere of operations, and to respond timely and strategically.
GeoSChEMES
Geopolitical Supply Chain Exposure to Macroeconomic and Environmental Shocks
GeoSChEMES provides insightful perspectives on how environmental, economic, and geopolitical risks can cascade through supply chains in our intersectorally and internationally connected world. It further identifies potential impacts on businesses and society, and offers mitigation opportunities in a one-stop data suite.
GeoSChEMES is built upon a detailed "Leontief" input-output model, climate projections and state-of-the-art risk indicators to compute the direct, indirect and induced effects of potential shocks across 26 sectors and 190 countries. Our supply chain risk analysis identifies potential disruptions and cost increases for any sector-country pair due to: > Environmental shocks (e.g., extreme events, climate policy changes) > Geopolitical shocks (e.g., wars, economic sanctions) > Macroeconomic shocks (e.g., introduction of tariffs) Our supply chain footprinting analysis allows clients to: > Quantify greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation along a product's value chain > Gain insights into environmental and social impacts of their supply chain GeoSChEMES also evaluates opportunities to provide clients with unique strategic insights, for example: > Metrics to reduce risk exposure > Resilience potential index for each sector-country pair > Measures to reduce footprints
GeoSPREAD
Geographical Species Presence, Richness and Extinctions, and their Annual Dynamics
We are committed to supporting businesses and governments in safeguarding our planet. GeoSPREAD provides detailed spatio-temporal data and analysis on biodiversity loss and its drivers to inform responsible decision-making. It can further be deployed to assess physical and transition risks to firms and society.
GeoSPREAD models biodiversity loss using satellite imagery technology, scientifically backed species data, and predictive methods at the forefront of academic research. The resulting data is available annually, spanning the period 2001-2022, and presented at global scale with a resolution of 500m x 500m. Biodiversity indicators include: > Presence maps for tens of thousands of terrestrial vertebrate and plant species > Richness maps categorized by species groups (plants, mammals, birds, amphibians, or reptiles) Quantified drivers of biodiversity loss include: > Maps illustrating areas where biodiversity loss is attributed to agricultural expansion, urbanisation, habitat degradation and deforestation > Assessment of the extent to which domestic and foreign commodity demand contributes to biodiversity loss Economic risk metrics include: > Physical risk: Reduction in ecosystem service value associated with biodiversity loss > Transition risk: Supply chain impacts of policies protecting habitats and biodiversity
GeoSECURE
Geographical, Systemic Exposure of Civic Assets and Utilities to Risks of the Environment
Our GeoSECURE suite is dedicated to safeguarding critical infrastructure by conducting comprehensive analyses of their vulnerability to climate hazards, including assessments of the socioeconomic costs of service loss and adaptation options. From roads and power plants to schools and hospitals, we focus on a wide array of essential assets that form the backbone of our society.
GeoSECURE combines high-resolution spatial data of assets, climate extremes, and socioeconomic variables with detailed construction and adaptation cost information to derive unique insights into infrastructure vulnerability and resilience. > Analytical focus: We assess the vulnerability of infrastructure to climate hazards and the resulting socioeconomic costs using state-of-the-art spatial techniques and GIS software. > Asset scope: Our analysis covers diverse infrastructure assets and networks such as roads, power plants, schools, and hospitals. > Hazard types: We consider both chronic hazards (e.g., sea-level rise) and acute events (e.g., storms or flooding) in our evaluations. > Prioritization criteria: Our approach prioritizes assets based on expected impact, weighing the costs of potential service loss against the necessary investment for climate-proofing. > Adaptation options: We propose tangible adaptation options, including both engineering and nature-based solutions, to enhance the resilience of the identified infrastructure assets.
