Financial institutionsBrief description of the data offering
Iceberg Data Lab has developed a comprehensive model designed to track the deforestation impact at a commodity level across its entire value chain, encompassing scope 1 and scope 3 emissions.
IDL’s model assesses 7 commodities across 22 high-risk countries.
This model leverages advanced data integration and analytical techniques to assess direct impacts (Scope 1), such as land-use changes, and upstream and downstream impacts (Scope 3), such as supply chain activities and product use. By offering a granular view of deforestation drivers and emissions across all stages, the model provides actionable insights for businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders to implement effective mitigation strategies and ensure sustainability compliance.
Metrics provided:
Gross Deforestation (km²)
Deforestation intensity (km²/M€ .year)
Deforestation by commodity (km² /tons of commodity)
Deforestation Reduced Impact (km²)
Deforestation Avoided Impact (km²) (coming 2026)
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.
