Closing Insights

Matter was founded in 2017 to address what its founders saw as a lack of transparency in conventional ESG ratings, developing data that can be traced back to original company disclosures and analysed at a much greater level of detail. The platform has become particularly relevant for institutional investors seeking evidence-based sustainability analysis that extends beyond aggregated ESG scores. Its customers include organisations such as BNP Paribas Asset Management, while its data is also available through major investment platforms including Nasdaq eVestment, SimCorp, and BlackRock Aladdin.

A significant milestone came in October 2025, when Matter became part of Diginex following a US$13 million acquisition. Diginex has positioned Matter as its investor intelligence and ESG data business, complementing its broader ESG reporting platform. Since the acquisition, Matter has continued to operate under its own brand and management while benefiting from Diginex's investment in AI-driven data extraction. In 2026, the company announced that it had increased automation in carbon data extraction from 25% to 80%, accelerating the delivery of validated sustainability datasets for institutions representing more than US$20 trillion in assets under management and administration.
