Research and Whitepaper

Digital visualization representing environmental research

EcoMap is a research organization and open platform, developed in collaboration with MSCI Sustainability Institute and leading academic institutions. The platform provides quantified and monetized environmental costs (also labeled externalities) through impact accounting — starting with greenhouse gas emissions and integrating these values into financial analysis. Developed and operated without a profit motive, EcoMap provides accessible, transparent, and academically rigorous analysis of environmental impacts. By enabling stakeholders across industry, academia, government, and civil society to understand the total economic impact of corporate activities, EcoMap ensures that environmental considerations are actionable, comparable, and free from commercial influence.

Roadmap

EcoMap is planning to expand the scope of the data coverage on the platform to include other environmental costs, such as air pollution, water consumption, waste generation, land use and conversion, and water pollution. This is subject to data availability, which is expected to improve in the coming years due to reporting requirements imposed by CSRD.
