Brief description of the data offering
The Dependency score is the mean dependency across all 26 ecosystem services weighted by sector revenues. It refers to direct dependencies (Scope 1 only). IDL provides separate data points for the total mean dependency, provisioning dependency, regulating dependency, and cultural dependency.
Cultural Services:
Non-physical benefits that people obtain from ecosystems.
Provisioning Services:
Tangible resources or goods that people obtain from ecosystems.
Regulating Services:
Natural phenomena moderating natural cycles.
IDL also offers another data point embedded into the dependency score called The Dependency at Risk; which is the percentage of the total revenues that are exposed to a High or Very High dependency.
Where and how do you source your data?
Company-reported data and sustainability reports, when available and reliable. If company data is not available or incomplete, IDL models the data using sector, commodity, and geography-specific parameters.
Open-source databases provided by governments, central banks, and scientific organizations.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) databases and financial/environmental datasets for product-level impacts.
Physical flows and input-output models (such as their proprietary Wunderpus model) to estimate emissions through the entire value chain, covering scopes 1, 2, and 3 for high granularity and sector comparability.
Independent scientific studies and internationally recognized frameworks (e.g., IPCC, IEA, SBTi, TNFD, PBAF) for methodologies and benchmark data.
