ESG.ai, a Canadian-European ESG analytics platform and London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) data partner, and Rho Impact, a climate data infrastructure company specialising in forecasting the decarbonisation potential of emerging climate solutions, have announced a strategic partnership to advance climate investment analytics across European financial markets.
This partnership integrates Koi’s asset-level climate impact data directly into ESG.ai’s analytics platform, giving European companies, banks and asset managers access to auditable, investment-grade data on the decarbonisation potential of climate solutions and low-carbon products. As EU regulatory frameworks including SFDR 2.0, CSRD, VSME and CBAM increase scrutiny on climate claims, this collaboration addresses a critical gap: structured, traceable data that supports not just disclosure, but the investment decisions behind it.
Through this collaboration, ESG.ai clients will be able to quantify the forward-looking emissions reduction potential of specific climate technologies, compare impact across solutions and portfolios, and strengthen embodied carbon reporting and associated disclosures, backed by auditable methodology.
As Europe advances its ambition to become the global centre for sustainable finance, this partnership directly addresses the challenges of climate-related data quality, structure, and auditability that financial institutions across the region face.
“The EU has led the global movement toward a sustainable, resilient economy for years,” said Kelly Kirsch, Director General of ESG.ai Europe. “As regulatory requirements across SFDR, CSRD, and CBAM raise the bar on what climate claims must be able to withstand, our clients need data that is not just comprehensive but auditable and traceable. Rho Impact brings exactly that.”
“Europe is where climate data requirements are most sophisticated and where the cost of opaque, unauditable data is highest,” said Noah Miller, Co-Founder and Chief Advisory Officer at Rho Impact. “ESG.ai has built the client relationships and platform presence to meet that market. We are proud to bring Koi’s asset-level forecasting into that ecosystem and help European institutions make climate investment decisions they can genuinely defend.”
