ESG-focused software analytics platform provider Datamaran announced the launch of Harbor, a new networking platform aimed at enabling sustainability professionals to connect with peers, access expert insights, and navigate the rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
Founded in 2014, London-based Datamaran provides an AI-powered software analytics platform enabling companies to identify and monitor external risks, including ESG factors, offering real-time data on strategic, regulatory, and reputational risks, specific to users’ businesses and value chains. In 2024, Datamaran received a $33 million investment from Morgan Stanley’s late-stage growth equity private investment platform Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital.
According to Datamaran, the new platform comes in response to increasing pressures on professionals, including mounting regulatory demands, rising stakeholder expectations, and a growing backlash against ESG. To help them cope, Harbor provides a space to engage with global peers, access weekly updates on regulation and policy developments, and a monthly newsletter on key sustainability trends and topics, as well as a calendar of free, virtual, and in-person events across major global hubs, and a job board, the firm said.
Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran, said:
“Today’s sustainability leaders are driving change under intense scrutiny. With Harbor, we’re creating a place where they can feel understood, supported, and empowered to lead with confidence.”
