Overview
Canbury is a sustainability consultancy and data provider that bridges the gap between raw data and investment action. Based on its own description, the firm combines deep subject-matter expertise with proprietary AI tools to extract insights for asset owners, asset managers and companies, worldwide. The organization positions itself as a “third generation” data provider, curating AI-enhanced datasets to specific client problems in the required format.
Mission and focus areas
We built Canbury to close the gap between sustainability data and the decisions it should inform. The organization focuses on four key areas: providing data at scale for listed and unlisted companies; curating datasets for regulatory reporting, thematic benchmarks, and investment insights; applying investment expertise built around the financial materiality of ESG issues; and maintaining proven client relationships.
Structure and governance
The organization operates with 25 staff across seven locations and serves 75 clients globally with a combined AUM of over $3tn.
Programs and offerings
The organization offers three main service areas: a data platform, proxy analysis, and advisory and research. The data platform provides ESG data and analysis, including live controversy analysis, financial materiality drivers, and thematic benchmarks covering climate, water, nature, AI governance, cyber, human rights, modern slavery, and social harm. Its proxy analysis service provides voting analysis aligned to house policies with research and rationale for every management and shareholder resolution. The advisory and research division delivers bespoke work including climate physical risk analysis across assets, climate scenario analysis, reporting support (TCFD, ISSB IFRS S2, ASRS, CSRD and ESRS, SFDR, PRI, Stewardship Code), and custom research.
