We are best known for the Lobby Map platform, which analyses corporate policy engagement activities on climate change and biodiversity loss. Our work has been featured in the media globally, used by hundreds of investors, and informed numerous climate campaigns. Other workstreams include the Finance Map platform - assessing the climate credentials of the financial sector, and the Carbon Majors platform – which tracks emissions from the worlds’ largest polluters.
