Aquantix, a Montreal-based technology company that develops and delivers property-level climate risk data services for the real estate and mortgage lending industries and whose AI-powered models quantify the impacts of climate change on half a billion residential and commercial assets in 180 countries, was acquired by Morningstar Sustainalytics.
Combined with technology and analytics from Aquantix, Morningstar Sustainalytics will offer a range of market-leading climate solutions to empower investors, banks, lenders, and companies to make more informed climate-related decisions.
Morningstar Sustainalytics will also benefit from Aquantix's strategic partnership with Teranet Inc., a global leader in modern registry solutions, real estate ecosystem platforms and data and analytics.
