Input Data
The data Darwin uses for biodiversity assessment: organisation structure and data points.
What data does Darwin use?
A Darwin assessment is built from two complementary layers of input data:
- Organisation — the structure being assessed: the organisation units that make up the company and the sites where it operates. This defines who and where.
- Data point — the activity data attached to those entities: financial, product, commodity and pressures data, positioned along the value chain. This defines what the organisation does and how strongly it interacts with nature.
Organisation
Organisation units and sites — the entity model that structures the assessment and drives scope consolidation.
Data points
The activity data types Darwin handles, their value-chain position, and how heterogeneous data is reconciled.
Both layers share the same models. The organisation structure determines how each data point's results are consolidated into company-level scopes, while the data points carry the activity that is converted into biodiversity impacts and dependencies.
