Planetary boundaries: An alternative analysis on Earth systems data for the STOXX Europe 600

Far from slowing, concerns about climate change and nature loss continue to grow for investors in 2025.

To understand the complex interplay of climate and nature, and minimize the risk of irreparable damage, a holistic approach is needed. The Planetary Boundaries Framework (PBF) is a valid framework at a global scale to conceptualize the ecological limits to preserve Earth’s viability. However, it is not translatable to the single-business level.

In this Perspectives report, we look at alternative indicators that can diagnose a company’s position toward certain processes that regulate Earth’s systems. We then run the STOXX® Europe 600 index through some of those metrics to better understand the standing of European companies on such aspects.
