Canbury

What Canbury does

Canbury is an AI-native ESG analytics and advisory firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in London, serving asset owners (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds), asset managers, and operating companies across three integrated product lines: an ESG data platform, a proxy voting analysis service (ProxyPro), and bespoke advisory and research engagements. The firm reports 75 enterprise clients with combined AUM above $3 trillion and operates with 25 staff across seven global locations in London, Amsterdam, Madrid, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

The technology stack is built around proprietary agentic research pipelines that read filings, statements, registers, and news at scale and apply expert-defined ESG frameworks across nine thematic areas (climate, nature, water, human rights, labour, modern slavery, social harm, AI governance, and cybersecurity). An asset-location system uses six parallel agents with a critic-in-the-loop to assemble verified asset lists from sovereign registries, permits, operator publications, land records, and satellite imagery. Climate physical risk assessment uses CMIP6 projections bias-corrected against ERA5 reanalysis, with statutory sources prioritized over observed and modeled data. Every assessment carries full provenance — source quote, document, and page number — and named analysts review and sign off outputs at each stage. The platform delivers through SaaS access, API integration, and PDF reports.

Commercially, Canbury combines recurring subscriptions (data platform, proxy voting analysis) with bespoke professional services engagements scoped to specific client decisions. Pricing is quote-based, with multi-year contracts and a senior-led, consultative go-to-market. The firm holds ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and UK/EU GDPR compliance and operates an internal AI governance committee chaired by the CTO. It is privately held by its co-founders Will Martindale and Ben Wilmot with no disclosed institutional funding.
