Our take

With the need for climate awareness and sustainability being brought to the forefront of decision making within large corporations, the question “how do I make more sustainably conscious decisions?” arises. VIDA is a leading software solution working to manage climate risk in infrastructure investment.

The company uses a dashboard of analytics for a clear view on business ESGs to risk assessment data, a feature also helpful to show to stakeholders for investment decisions. Bringing a data-led approach to its clients goals, the company is working toward its own goal of a decentralised world. Vida’s efforts has led it to be included in 30 of the top global leaders working toward climate solutions and nominated for an The Earthshot Prize by the PDIE Group.

The World Bank and RTI International are two of the many organisations using VIDA's platform. And some serious funding means the company is on its way to pursing its goals of accelerating growth, expanding to new markets, and building out more unique climate risk and impact assessment tools.
