Project description

Helping global investors ensure maximal social impact

Much as consumers are increasingly interested in the environmental and social impact of the goods they buy, investors are in search of sustainable investments to build their wealth. Clarity AI is a sustainability technology platform that uses machine learning and big data to deliver environmental and social insights to investors, organisations, and consumers. As of May 2022, Clarity AI’s platform analyses more than 30 000 companies, 220 000 funds, 198 countries and 188 local governments. In the EU-funded CLARITY project, the platform's social ratings and algorithms will be improved and scaled up to meet the requirements of the global market.
