Johannesburg, South Africa | London, United Kingdom
Risk Insights, Africa’s leading ESG data science and intelligence firm, today announced the signing of a strategic collaboration with GB2B Publications Pvt Ltd (Global Business2Brands), a UK-based ESG advisory and activation platform operating globally.
The collaboration establishes a governed intelligence-to-activation framework, designed to bridge the growing gap between ESG analytics and real-world execution.

Using Risk Insights proprietary tool and platform A-Cubed™, Risk Insights will provide ESG diagnostics, benchmarks, and performance signals, while GB2B will serve as the Advisory Activation Partner, translating approved intelligence into structured ESG implementation outcomes.
The collaboration will support organisations across multiple ESG priorities, including but not limited to:

- Climate transition and decarbonisation strategies, including CBAM-related exposure
- ESG governance, controls, and ongoing performance maintenance
- Supply chain emission risk management
- Nature, biodiversity, and emerging ESG risk themes; and
- Board-level, investor, and stakeholder ESG communications.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing credible, data-led ESG implementation across emerging and developed markets, at a time when regulators, investors, and boards are demanding higher standards of transparency and accountability.
“The market no longer needs more ESG narratives, it needs credible intelligence that can be responsibly activated. This collaboration allows us to protect the integrity of our data while enabling execution partners to drive measurable ESG outcomes aligned with global standards.” said Dr Andrey Bogdanov, Chief Executive Officer of Risk Insights.
“Too often, organisations have ESG data but struggle to turn it into credible action," said Ronita Ghosh, CEO of GB2B Publications Pvt Ltd (Global Business2Brands). “Using Risk Insights ESG intelligence, and GB2B focuses on helping organisations act on those insights in a structured and responsible way. The aim is simple. Move from visibility to progress, without confusion.”
