Amid a rush of companies trying to better account for, and mitigate, their contribution to climate change, biodiversity is often overlooked. A French company has stepped in to fill that gap – with the backing of a leading impact-focused French investment group.
Paris-based biodiversity analytics startup Darwin has secured €1.5m in pre-seed funding from French impact heavyweights Astérion Ventures and several other prominent angel investors. Amid a 'biodiversity crisis' – with wildlife and flora populations plummeting around the world – as well as incoming EU legislation that will require a lot more ESG reporting, Darwin aims to give companies the oversight they need to limit their own impact.
