What they do

Inside MSCI Carbon Markets

MSCI provides investor-grade ratings for more than 4,000 carbon projects, demand analysis across 15,000+ companies, and multiple price indexes with AI-generated prices for over 30,000 credits.

The capability came from Trove Research, whose acquisition MSCI completed on 1 November 2023, folding carbon-market intelligence into MSCI’s wider climate analytics.

Data, ratings and pricing reach institutional investors through MSCI’s established distribution into the capital markets.

Climate & nature use-case

MSCI sits at the financial altitude above issuance: strong MRV evidence can strengthen a project’s investor-grade rating, while MSCI’s pricing and ratings connect a project to institutional demand.
