Glass Lewis and Clarity AI announced their combination, merging Clarity AI’s advanced technology, deep sustainability data, AI analytics, and strong European market presence with Glass Lewis’ global expertise across corporate governance, proxy voting and investment stewardship.
The strategic combination significantly expands the firms’ ability to serve European institutional investors and companies through enhanced local market expertise, broader sustainability capabilities and faster product development that addresses Europe’s evolving regulatory and stewardship requirements.
The integrated platform fills a solutions gap as institutional investors increasingly seek to bring together investment analysis, sustainability, governance, engagement and voting rather than manage them through separate systems, datasets and workflows. At the same time, companies are continuously seeking a better understanding of how their institutional shareholders view their governance and sustainability practices.
“This union brings together two highly complementary sets of capabilities to support clients across the full decision-making ecosystem, from portfolio construction and monitoring to research, engagement, voting and reporting,” said Bob Mann, Chief Executive Officer of Glass Lewis. “All of our clients will benefit from accelerated AI-enabled product development and deeper data-driven insights, while we are particularly excited to expand the range of products and services built specifically around our European clients.”
