Figure 2 . Company-level ecosystem service and
biodiversity impacts vary across and within sectors. Impacts are shown
for three ecosystem service metrics (coastal risk reduction, nitrogen
retention, sediment retention) and four biodiversity metrics (habitat
for endemic species, habitat for threatened and endangered species,
total species richness, and Key Biodiversity Areas). The top row shows
the total impact per company, which is affected by the number, size, and
location of each companies’ physical assets. The middle row shows impact
adjusted by company revenue. The bottom row shows total impact adjusted
by the total area (km2) of physical assets. A higher
impact per km2 indicates a company’s assets are
located in areas with great ecosystem service or biodiversity values.
The values for each metric should be interpreted as indices; values are
comparable within a metric but not between different metrics. For each
boxplot, the midline indicates the median, with boxes extending from the
25th to 75th percentiles and whiskers extending to 1.5 times the
interquartile range. Outliers beyond 1.5 times the interquartile range
are indicated as dots. Note the log scale of y-axes.
