Clarity AI and CDP partner on environmental data

Mar 15, 2023 By Nicholas Pratt

sustainable, environmental, Clarity AI, CDPUK-based sustainability tech platform Clarity AI has teamed up with CDP, the non-profit responsible for running the global disclosure system for environmental impact.

The partnership is designed to spur more product development in a market where challenges over data availability and quality have been widely cited by asset owners and asset managers alike.

“As CDP holds the world’s largest self-reported environmental dataset, this partnership will ensure Clarity AI clients have access to the most comparable, science-based and comprehensive environmental data available,” said Laurent Babikian, global director data products and distribution, CDO.

“When greenwashing in ESG must be tackled with robust data, we look forward to working with Clarity AI to ensure their clients have the best possible products for building net-zero portfolios and rapidly align their investment flows with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris agreement and our planet’s limits,” added Babikian.
