Encouraging green investment portfolios

Background

Analytics Engines are supporting a data-driven not for profit organisation that targets the market forces destroying nature. The client does this by providing innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments, and campaigning organisations worldwide to help them make better decisions about nature, forests, and people.

The market intelligence product combines the best available data tracking corporate performance on deforestation to help financial institutions better understand their exposure to deforestation within their investments and move towards deforestation-free portfolios.

The client required a supplier capable of delivering innovative products to support them in developing the second generation of their market intelligence product. This required an alignment with their existing Corporate Performance Database product; rearchitecting the solution to future-proof it and ensure they can easily support and onward develop it; ingesting new datasets for supply chain and food production; recalculating their core metrics reporting on deforestation performance; and developing APIs to enable their customers to use this data to make informed investment decisions with sustainability in mind.

The solution

Analytics Engines are supporting the client through the delivery of a solution capable of unifying data sets for multiple locations into a single source and providing metrics calculated on corporate performance within their market intelligence product. The solution will provide financial institutions and governments with an understanding of their exposure to deforestation within their investments and move towards deforestation-free portfolios.
