We are a team of experienced scientists, researchers, communications experts and journalists at the intersection of financial services and sustainability.
By unleashing the power of data and insight to bring clarity to a complex world and illuminating complex issues and options, Lantern Insights provides a critical service to sustainability decision-makers and marketers in the financial services industry.
At Lantern, we’re dedicated to helping businesses explore and discuss their latest insights regarding sustainability issues and innovations affecting them and their clients.
The world faces a number of massive environmental challenges, including the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss. This means the next generation of businesses will need to identify what these challenges are and to articulate how they are going to help solve them. Shifting to more sustainable ways of doing business is one of humanity’s biggest challenges.
The finance sector has the power to deliver momentous change for good.
We believe that the next generation of global businesses are going to have to play a bigger role in creating a world that we all want to live in. These businesses must be able to adapt their business models, mitigate their impacts, harness the latest technologies and ideas. They also need to attract customers, make money and be profitable. If you agree, we want to work with you.

Through our collaborative approach, we deliver bespoke projects for our clients’ communications, marketing and commercial activities.

We understand the crucial value of transparent, evidence-based research and actionable insights that: Build trust, demonstrate expertise, cut through noise and help financial organisations to communicate about sustainability. Shape credible and authentic sustainability narratives and stories that chime with audiences, differentiate businesses from their competitors, drive revenue and deliver impact.
