We bring societal impact to markets. How do we do that? We add clarity so that you can choose sustainably.

Founded in 2017, we are a sustainability company that empowers measuring progress towards a more sustainable future, which is a complex, multi-dimensional, cross-border, and cross-industry task. We firmly believe harnessing the power of technology, specifically machine learning and Natural Language Processing, is the best way – at scale – to produce viable answers to big questions like “How will we get to net-zero?” and “Which paths can we take to actually live in a more equitable world?” Moreover, we believe technology is singularly positioned to produce answers that are unbiased and wholly scientific- and evidence-based.

To that end, we offer a customizable and scalable sustainability tech kit, which anyone can integrate directly into their existing day-to-day way of working, investing, researching, or shopping. Anyone can switch on their computers or phones, open their usual applications or platforms, and find Clarity AI built right in. This is true whether you are a professional investor in the public or private markets, an executive at a company of any size, or a consumer considering an online purchase of any size. We are integrated into the full sustainability ecosystem in order to deliver as broadly as possible on our mission in markets of all kinds – from investment exchanges to e-commerce platforms.
