The Nature Intelligence Platform
Built Different.
See how Darwin compares to other approaches for measuring, managing, and reporting on nature risk.
BOOK A DEMO
Darwin is the only platform that covers the full nature strategy journey — from data capture and footprinting through risk quantification in €, scenario modeling, target-setting, and automated TNFD/CSRD reporting — in a single self-serve SaaS. And unlike survey-based tools, it measures your full supply chain — Scope 3 included — without sending a single supplier questionnaire. Other tools cover fragments of this journey.

How Darwin stacks up.
Deep dive
For companies currently using GBS via consultants
Darwin vs GBS / Traditional Biodiversity Footprinting
GBS laid the foundations. Darwin makes them operational.
- GBS is a brilliant methodology — but executed in Excel by consultants: 3–6 months per assessment, €50–150k per engagement.
- Darwin is a calculation engine inspired by GBS (created by Antoine Vallier, co-creator of the GBS at CDC Biodiversité), but 10x faster, self-serve, with scenarios + risk + reporting built in.
- Darwin covers all 5 IPBES pressures (GBS covers 4 out of 5).
- Darwin adds: financial risk quantification, scenario modeling, no-survey supply chain, AI co-pilot, auto-generated TNFD reports.

For asset managers & PE firms
Darwin vs Data Providers (NatureAlpha, Iceberg Data Lab)
Scores are no longer enough. Your portfolio companies need to act.
- NatureAlpha / Iceberg Data Lab excel at top-down portfolio screening and SFDR reporting.
- But: no operational workflows, no reduction scenarios, no supply chain engagement tools.
- Darwin is the platform your portfolio companies use to turn scores into action plans.
→Use NatureAlpha for portfolio-level reporting. Deploy Darwin in your portfolio companies so they reduce their footprint.
For sustainability teams already equipped on carbon
Darwin vs Carbon Platforms (Sweep, Watershed, CarbonMaps)
Carbon was chapter 1. Nature is chapter 2.
- Sweep / Watershed are best-in-class for carbon, but nature ≠ a carbon extension.
- Biodiversity is multi-factorial (5 pressures), location-specific (spatialized), and requires specific datasets.
- Adding a "biodiversity module" to a carbon platform is cosmetic.
- Darwin is purpose-built for the complexity of nature, from day one.
→Keep your carbon platform. Add Darwin for nature.
For teams drowning in supplier questionnaires
Darwin vs EcoVadis / Supplier-Survey Platforms
Supply chain insight — without the questionnaire treadmill.
- EcoVadis and supplier-survey tools rate suppliers one questionnaire at a time — coverage depends on who responds, and response rates rarely clear 50%.
- Darwin measures your full Scope 3 / value-chain footprint from spatial, transactional and sectoral data — no questionnaire to send, no response rate to chase.
- Surveys capture self-declarations; Darwin computes quantified, location-specific pressures (water, land, GHG, pollution) you can actually act on.
- Get a portfolio-wide view in hours, not the months a survey campaign takes.
→Keep supplier surveys for procurement scoring. Use Darwin to quantify and act on nature risk across your entire value chain.
