History and work
Planet Tracker was founded in 2018 as a sister organisation to Carbon Tracker.[2]
The think tank works across sectors including food, oceans, textiles, plastics, and petrochemicals. Its research has been credited with helping to “align capital markets with planetary boundaries”.[3]
According to the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association, “Planet Tracker is seeking to build upon the growing recognition by many in the finance community that they do not have the information necessary to assess environmental or social risk within investment portfolios, including planetary tipping points and the objectives of international Sustainable Frameworks / transition dynamics Planet Tracker’s initial focus is on global industry sectors defined by significant investment flows and revenues in the context of the planetary boundaries that are most threatened.”[4][AI-retrieved source]
Planet Tracker co-leads the Technical Advisory Group of Nature Action 100, an investor-led engagement initiative promoting stronger corporate action on biodiversity loss.[5] In 2023, its seafood traceability research was incorporated into an investor campaign launched with FAIRR, UNEP FI, World Wide Fund for Nature, and the World Benchmarking Alliance.[6]
In 2024, Planet Tracker coordinated a Petrochemical Investor Statement backed by 88 investors with $7.48 trillion in assets under management, including Legal & General Investment Management, Pictet Group, Nordea Asset Management, and Achmea Investment Management.[7] The statement urged major petrochemical companies such as ExxonMobil, Chevron Corporation, TotalEnergies, PetroChina and Saudi Aramco to support a legally binding plastics treaty and to avoid obstructive lobbying.[8]
Planet Tracker has also proposed financial innovations such as the Deforestation-Linked Sovereign Bond.[9] Its 2021 report recommended linking bond coupons to deforestation outcomes; Uruguay’s subsequent sovereign bond framework adopted this approach, tying interest payments to climate and forest-related targets.[10]
In the media
Planet Tracker’s research has been featured in major outlets including the Financial Times, The Guardian, Bloomberg L.P., and Reuters.[11][12][13][14][15][16] Its work has also been cited by financial institutions such as Rockerfeller Asset Management and BNP Paribas Asset Management.[17][18]
Investor coalitions have drawn on Planet Tracker’s analysis when filing shareholder resolutions. For example, ShareAction and others referenced its Fixing Nitrogen report in a resolution at Yara, calling for science-based Scope 3 emissions targets.[19]
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has profiled Planet Tracker’s methods as giving investors “the tools and sector knowledge they need to drive long-lasting change in their portfolios and in the broader economy”.[20] The World Benchmarking Alliance has described its analytics as redefining “how financial and environmental data interact” to improve decision-making.[21]
A 2025 report by the European Parliament’s environment committee cited “High and Dry: How Water Issues Are Stranding Assets” – a 2022 analysis by Carbon Disclosure Project and Planet Tracker – as evidence of burgeoning water-related financial threats.[22]
