Our Mission

Our Vision

We believe that institutional investors, asset managers, and other decision-makers need more than fragmented or opaque data to drive meaningful change. They need trustworthy, structured insights that reveal how corporate actions—across influence, operations, and commitments—affect progress toward global climate and biodiversity goals.

To meet this need, we are building a comprehensive and evolving data infrastructure that draws from vast, diverse sources and distills them into decision-ready formats. Whether by illuminating the scale of corporate influence, clarifying progress on net-zero alignment, or surfacing emerging systemic risks, our work helps to guide strategies rooted in long-term planetary and economic resilience.

Our long-term ambition is to support a financial system grounded in systemic stewardship—one that understands the complex feedback loops between company behavior, ecosystem integrity, and portfolio-wide value. By translating complexity into clarity, we enable capital to be directed toward outcomes that benefit people, planet, and future generations.

Danu Insight’s vision is to make systemic climate and nature-related risks visible, measurable, and actionable—empowering those with influence across the financial and policy landscape to accelerate a just transition.

The Need

At this pivotal moment, the world faces climate breakdown and environmental crises that imperil our global ecosystems, from rampant deforestation and eroding biodiversity to water scarcity and the impending collapse of oceanic systems due to pollution and overfishing. These environmental challenges signal potential ecological collapse and pose risks to human well-being, social cohesion, and economic stability.

There is a pressing need for policy recalibration—revising taxes, subsidies, and regulations on agriculture, fishing, and chemical use to safeguard ecological balance and ensure sustainability.

Corporate Lobbying Analysis

Comprehensive Data Aggregation: We collect vast amounts of data from multiple reliable sources, including government consultation repositories, corporate disclosures, and publicly available documents. Our automated tools systematically gather information from key jurisdictions, including the USA and the EU, with an aim to cover 40 identified global consultation repositories.
Net Zero AI Analysis: Utilising bespoke AI models, we process and analyse complex lobbying communications efficiently and accurately. Our AI models have been fine-tuned with specialised training datasets to interpret sector-specific lobbying activities, ensuring nuanced and precise analysis. This approach has provided us with unparalleled speed and agility, allowing us to create over 100,000 scored evidence pieces with a small team. We have demonstrated this capability in our online prototype.
Transparency in Lobbying Governance: Danu’s prototype analyses the effectiveness of companies' internal lobbying governance policies and oversight structures. We also assess the transparency of their lobbying activities, including their disclosure of the legislation they target, methods of influence, and desired policy outcomes. By creating a dataset currently unavailable in the market and making it publicly accessible, we aim to enhance scrutiny and transparency, which can, directly and indirectly, encourage companies and trade associations to improve their lobbying transparency and governance through investor pressure .
Financialising corporate lobbying impacts: Our analysis sheds light on how corporate lobbying can distort market conditions, disrupt regulatory frameworks, and ultimately impact asset valuations. By assigning financial metrics to the impact of corporate lobbying, we enable investors to identify companies whose practices could potentially harm their future returns. These practices may include opposing progressive regulatory frameworks or hindering ecological protective measures.

Expansion to Other Environmental Issues

At Danu Insight, we understand that climate change is connected to health of the entire biosphere. For this reason, we are committed to expanding our analytical framework to include issues such as biodiversity loss, land use changes, and impacts on marine ecosystems.

By broadening our focus, we aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how corporate actions affect not only the climate but also the health of terrestrial and aquatic environments.
