Our Mission

We are Germany’s leading Sustainable Finance Think Tank - and we decided to do “whatever it takes” to make financial markets work for the sustainable transition.

We accompany agents of change in politics, finance, business, science and environmental action on their way to shifting investments towards sustainable development. Be it for biodiversity protection and restoration of ecosystems, tackling the climate crisis, or halting deforestation - with sound data evidence, solid regulatory analysis and strategic policy recommendations we help decision makers in connecting the dots and bridging the gaps between finance, policy and the environment.

„ It is obvious that gigantic sums of money are needed to reach our climate and sustainable development goals. Yet, politicians, authorities, industry and the financial market rarely speak the same language. If we want to make the green transformation happen, we need to stop thinking in ‘finance’ and ‘environment’ silos. We need to team up. Ingmar Juergens Co-Founder and CEO of Climate & Company

More about our story

Challenges you will tackle with our support

Financing sustainable land use to protect biodiversity

Closing the "ESG data gap": we develop data solutions for financial institutions to understand and manage biodiversity, climate and other environmental risks and impacts in their investment decisions.

How to finance the green economy?

Governments are tasked with reaching ambitious climate, biodiversity and sustainable development goals. We help policy-makers to get the most out of sustainable finance for real "green" impact on the ground.

Our Portfolio

Our Approach

We help you see "the big picture" on sustainability, finance and policy.

The sustainable transition is not only about climate change, but also about biodiversity loss, land-use, forest and water protection, human rights and social justice. With our 20+ years of insider knowledge from the corridors of national governments, the EU, the OECD, the UN, public banks and leading think-tanks, we help you understand what drives regulators, politicians, finance experts and entrepreneurs in the sustainability challenge. In our seminars, policy briefs, recommendations and guidance documents, we develop solutions for the breadth of the systemic crisis we are facing – backed up with data, analysis, context - and loads of positive energy.
