Amsterdam, 22 May 2026 – On World Biodiversity Day, Seenons, together with ISS Facility Services and PwC, introduces a new biodiversity dashboard within the Seenons platform. The dashboard gives organisations insight into the impact of waste streams on biodiversity and ecosystems, adding a new layer to existing reporting on waste streams, operational performance, CO₂ impact and financial insights.

The dashboard has been developed as part of the collaboration between Seenons, ISS and PwC, which started in October 2025 and covers 10 PwC office locations across the Netherlands.

A shared ambition around circularity and transparency

The collaboration between ISS, PwC and Seenons was built around a shared ambition: making waste management smarter, more circular and more transparent.

ISS is responsible for integrated facility services across PwC’s Dutch office locations, while Seenons supports the waste management operation through its platform, data insights and broad wastepartner network. Together, the organisations are working towards ambitious sustainability goals, including Zero Waste, circular operations and reducing environmental impact across PwC’s offices.

From the beginning of the collaboration, the parties created a roadmap focused on improving waste separation, increasing circularity and gaining deeper environmental insights into waste streams and processing methods.

“Within this partnership, we wanted to look beyond operational waste management alone,” says Sustainability Lead Christel Simmelink from ISS/PwC. “By combining data, innovation and collaboration, we are continuously exploring how we can better understand and reduce our environmental footprint.”

PwC has long positioned itself as a frontrunner in sustainability and circularity, making the partnership a strong environment for testing and developing new sustainability insights.

What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth – including plants, animals, insects, fungi and microorganisms – and the ecosystems they form together. Healthy biodiversity is essential for clean air, water, food production and resilient ecosystems.

Human activity, including the extraction of raw materials, waste generation and pollution, can negatively impact biodiversity by disrupting ecosystems and reducing the variety of plant and animal life.

“Sustainability reporting often focuses heavily on carbon emissions,” says Bram van de Putte, Data Analyst at Seenons. “While CO₂ reduction remains important, the environmental impact of waste goes beyond global warming alone. Waste processing and material use also affect ecosystems, land use, toxicity and natural resources. It is important to look at the bigger picture.”

From waste data to biodiversity insights

The biodiversity dashboard was developed to translate waste data into broader environmental impact insights.

Powered by biodiversity impact metrics provided by TAUW, the dashboard helps visualise how different waste streams and processing methods affect ecosystems and biodiversity. The lower the score, the lower the environmental impact.

For example, the dashboard can show how the processing of one kilogram of residual waste compares to alternative waste streams in terms of biodiversity impact.

Using these insights, organisations can better understand:

• which waste streams have the highest environmental impact;
• how processing methods compare;
• where the biggest improvements can be made;
• how environmental impact develops over time across locations.

Alongside biodiversity insights, the dashboard also includes Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI) insights. The ECI is based on the Dutch Milieukostenindicator (MKI) methodology and translates environmental impact into environmental cost values.

The ECI helps make environmental impact more tangible and easier to compare. It shows the environmental value of damage from waste processing methods and avoided environmental damage from raw material extraction and energy production.

“The goal is to make environmental impact more understandable and actionable,” says Casper Rietman from TAUW. “By combining waste data with environmental indicators, organisations can make more informed decisions about circularity, material use and waste processing.”

The dashboard is added alongside the three existing dashboards already used by ISS and PwC to monitor their waste management on operational excellence, CO2 impact and financial insights.

Better decisions through broader insights

One of the key benefits of the dashboard is that it helps organisations make more informed sustainability decisions.

In some cases, a waste stream that initially appears more sustainable may actually create a higher impact on biodiversity or ecosystems than an alternative option. By visualising these differences, organisations can better evaluate trade-offs and prioritise actions with the greatest environmental benefit.

The dashboard is intended not only as a reporting tool, but also as a conversation starter around broader sustainability impact.

“We are still learning how biodiversity can be measured and applied within waste management,” says Rob Klinkert from PwC. “But we believe these kinds of insights are important to help organisations make more conscious and future-proof decisions.”

Looking ahead

The biodiversity dashboard marks another step in the broader development of sustainability reporting within waste management.

While CO₂ reduction remains an important metric, the collaboration between ISS, PwC, Seenons and TAUW shows how organisations are increasingly exploring additional indicators to better understand their total environmental footprint.

Over the coming period, the parties will continue exploring how biodiversity and environmental impact insights can further support reporting, circular strategies and operational decision-making.

Because what you measure, you can improve.
