Sustainability Sentiment Score

The SSS is down this week after market drops on February 5th following hints from the Fed that rates will not be lowering in the near future.

The Mature Climate market recovered from Monday's drop healthily and continues to follow market trends upwards.

Despite a lower score compared to last week, there appears to be less volatility in the markets, particularly the Voluntary Carbon and Regulated Carbon markets.

Here's how it works:

• The team and I analyze how companies' actions affect the environment.

• We assess how openly companies share their sustainability journey.

• We combine these factors to give you a clear, actionable score.

You can use this score to make informed decisions and champion companies that truly care about our planet. 

Venture Building Note of the Week

Building your company is like planting a tree.

You need the right seeds (innovative ideas), fertile soil (a supportive team culture), and plenty of sunlight (funding).

But remember, even the mightiest oak started as a tiny acorn. 

Be patient, nurture your growth with resilience, and don't be afraid to branch out.

And when the storms come (and they will), let your roots hold you firm. 

Your mission is vital, so keep your eyes on the horizon and innovate like the planet's future depends on it—because it does.
