Adopting Geoverse 2.0 as Data as A Service: Scalable, Customisable Nature Risk Intelligence

For investment managers, banks, insurers, and sustainability teams, the integration of reliable, scalable, and up-to-date nature risk data into internal systems is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential for meeting regulatory requirements and aligning with nature-positive outcomes. That’s why Geoverse 2.0 is available not only as a powerful platform, but also as a flexible Data as a Service (DaaS) offering.

Geoverse 2.0’s DaaS model allows organisations to embed nature risk intelligence directly into their proprietary tools, platforms, and risk models, ensuring seamless alignment with internal workflows and decision-making processes.

At the heart of this offering is a comprehensive universe of over 11,000 entities, spanning global equities and fixed income instruments. The data includes 150+ individual metrics, and incorporates 8.5million asset locations, covering key nature-related indicators such as biodiversity impact, ecosystem dependencies, unmanaged risk scores, materiality rankings, and more. These metrics are available at both the entity and ISIN level, giving users granular visibility across asset classes and regions.

Whether you’re analysing nature risk exposure in an equity portfolio or stress-testing fixed income holdings, the dataset provides the depth and structure required for both quantitative analysis and regulatory reporting.

Our DaaS delivery is built for maximum flexibility. Data can be accessed via SFTP, API, or Snowflake, making it easy to integrate with risk engines, sustainability dashboards, nature and geospatial databases, or portfolio analytics platforms. This multi-channel access ensures that teams across investment, risk, and compliance can use the data where they need it most—without disrupting existing infrastructure.

Importantly, the dataset is updated monthly, reflecting both new nature risk data and changes in the MSCI ACWI IMI composition, ensuring coverage remains current and aligned with market benchmarks. This means users benefit from continually refreshed insights that reflect evolving company activities, policy changes, and ecosystem conditions.

By adopting Geoverse 2.0 as a DaaS solution, organisations gain the agility to customise, scale, and automate their approach to nature-related risk—embedding it directly into investment decisions, reporting processes, and sustainability strategies.

For those ready to future-proof their data architecture while advancing nature-positive goals, NatureAlpha’s DaaS is the smartest way forward.
