Aligning financial markets with a sustainable future

Planet Tracker is a non-profit financial think tank producing analytics and reports to align capital markets with planetary boundaries. Our mission is to create significant and irreversible transformation of global financial activities by 2030.

By informing, enabling and mobilising the transformative power of capital markets we aim to deliver a financial system that is fully aligned with a net-zero, nature-positive economy.

Planet Tracker proactively engages with financial institutions to drive change in their investment strategies. We ensure they know exactly what risk is built into their investments and identify opportunities from funding the systems transformations we advocate.

Analysis of equity risk premia of 150 top corporates in the plastic value chain finds risk perception in industry is at its lowest level since 2011, despite a potential‘landslide of regulation’ including Global Plastic Pollution Treaty. Investors failing to forecast changes in risk profile means corporate liabilities and litigation costs in plastics could rise above USD 20 billion by end of the decade for the US alone, possibly USD 100 billion annually and beyond by 2030.
