日本語
本研究は、生物多様性に関するエココストを売上高で除した「エココスト強度（ECI）」を提案。2024年のサステナビリティ報告書を用いて3社のテクノロジー製造企業に適用し、電力調達が生物多様性影響の主要因であることを示した。また、材料代替における規制上のトレードオフを指摘し、企業戦略やグリーンファイナンスへの示唆を与える。
English
This study introduces Eco-Cost Intensity (ECI), a firm-level metric dividing biodiversity-related eco-costs by revenue. Applying it to three technology manufacturers using 2024 sustainability reports, it finds electricity sourcing as the dominant driver of biodiversity impact and reveals regulatory trade-offs in material substitution. Implications for corporate strategy and green finance are discussed.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Biodiversity risk has rapidly evolved from a peripheral environmental concern into a core strategic challenge for firms, yet operational metrics that translate ecological impacts into decision‐relevant indicators remain limited. Responding to recent calls for more comparable corporate biodiversity accounting tools, this study introduces Eco‐Cost Intensity (ECI), defined as biodiversity‐related eco‐costs scaled by firm revenue. The metric translates life‐cycle assessment data into a tractable firm‐level indicator that can be computed using publicly available sustainability disclosures. Applying ECI to three major technology manufacturing firms using their 2024 sustainability reports, the analysis reveals substantial within‐sector heterogeneity in biodiversity exposure. The results highlight that electricity sourcing is the dominant driver of biodiversity impact, indicating that geographic variation in energy systems plays a critical role in shaping firm‐level risk profiles. In addition, the findings identify a regulatory trade‐off in material substitution, where compliance‐driven changes may unintentionally increase biodiversity pressure. The three firm‐level ECI values are computed directly from audited 2024 disclosures; the credit‐spread and policy results are reported as ex‐ante predictions for empirical testing, not as established findings. Beyond measurement, the study develops implications for corporate strategy and green finance by demonstrating how biodiversity exposure can influence risk differentiation and sustainability‐linked financial instruments. Overall, the paper contributes a practical and scalable metric for integrating biodiversity considerations into strategic management and sustainability decision‐making.
