Kayrros has announced the official launch of its Nature Impact Platform, a pioneering biodiversity intelligence solution that leverages satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to map environmental risks. The platform is designed to provide financial institutions with asset-level precision, allowing for the measurement of ecological impacts with unprecedented speed and geographical coverage.
For years, biodiversity has remained a significant blind spot for the financial sector due to fragmented and incomplete data. This lack of transparency has often left ecologically harmful projects undetected. However, as global regulatory pressure intensifies through frameworks such as the TNFD, SFDR, CSRD, and France’s Article 29, investors are now facing a mandatory shift toward integrating nature-related metrics into their core processes.
The Nature Impact Platform bridges this data gap by employing advanced machine learning and geospatial data. This technology provides up-to-date environmental metrics, enabling investors to incorporate nature-related risks directly into due diligence, portfolio construction, and corporate reporting.
The platform arrives on the market following an extensive one-year pilot programme conducted alongside BNP Paribas Asset Management. The trial spanned various European infrastructure assets, including solar farms, data centres, and energy utilities.
The pilot yielded significant operational improvements, including a marked increase in the speed of biodiversity impact analysis and a more sophisticated understanding of project selection and capital allocation. Detailed results of the collaboration were presented at the Principles for Responsible Investment annual conference in November 2025.
Thibaud Clisson of BNP Paribas Asset Management highlighted the strategic value of the tool, stating, “Integrating biodiversity into investment decisions requires data that is robust, precise, and actionable. The Nature Impact Platform allows us to move from fragmented datasets to asset-level intelligence. It strengthens our risk management, enhances regulatory compliance, and enables us to direct capital toward projects that are aligned with both performance and lower nature-impacts.”
The ultimate ambition of the platform is to drive a tangible reduction in global biodiversity loss by making nature-related risks measurable and comparable. By providing clear insights into ecologically sensitive zones surrounding specific projects, Kayrros aims to shift capital flows away from destructive activities and toward regenerative initiatives.
“Biodiversity risk is financial risk — yet until now, it has been largely invisible to markets,” said Antoine Rostand, President at Kayrros. “By combining satellite data, artificial intelligence, and financial expertise, we are making nature measurable at the asset level. Together with BNP Paribas Asset Management, we are turning biodiversity from a blind spot into a strategic decision factor for global finance.”
