About Equator

Data for doing good

Most of us want to make sustainable choices. But knowing what those choices are has become difficult for businesses and overwhelming for consumers.

Information is often buried in academic articles and research reports. Few of us have the scientific expertise to sift through and analyse hundreds of pages of complex charts, or the budgets to hire people who do.

We started Equator to make this important information more accessible, and easier to understand.

We're building a world where sustainability data is a universal resource for everyone

Our platform offers companies practical, simple insights about their products and industry at the fraction of the cost of consulting.

We navigate through thousands of different datasets and bring you the information you need. Not with complex language and confusing charts, but with simple, personalised stories that will set your business on a path towards a more sustainable future.

We'll help you make data-driven decisions that improve the impact of your products and show you the good choices you're already making.
