Biodiversity Stress Test: Assessing the Resilience of the CAC 40 to the Ecological Crisis

This EthiFinance study examines how biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation can translate into financial risk for CAC 40 companies. Based on a biodiversity stress-test methodology, it assesses how biodiversity-related shocks may affect companies’ value chains, sector exposure, and potential credit resilience.

Inside the study

• How biodiversity-related risks can affect the financial resilience of large listed companies
• Why exposure to biodiversity risks varies across sectors and value chains
• The role of water stress as a key transmission channel for biodiversity-related risk
• How credit quality can influence companies’ ability to absorb biodiversity-related shocks
