ESG Financial Intelligence
The money behind ESG, every 72 hours
We scan global ESG, carbon-market and sustainable-finance news and keep only the stories that carry a defensible monetary value. Each figure is labelled, sourced and explained: who pays, who gains and how much capital is really moving.
How to read a figure
Every number in the brief carries one of these labels, so a pledge is never mistaken for money spent.
- Directly reported The figure appears in an official announcement, filing or primary report.
- Scenario range The price was not disclosed. We calculate a range from reported volume and a stated price benchmark.
- Reported estimate An estimate made by a named party, such as an industry chief executive or a think tank.
- Financial context A real number that frames a story but is not a transaction value.
- Market signal A price premium or spread observed across a market rather than in one deal.
What the brief is, in 20 seconds.
