MetaVu, Inc., and CRD Analytics, both leaders in the discipline of sustainability, jointly announced today the formation of a strategic alliance.

The MetaVu/CRD Analytics relationship will provide immediate value to organizations through a unique combination of sustainability products and services. Best-in-class investment analytics from CRD Analytics will be united with award-winning advisory services and organizational performance tools from MetaVu. As a result, organizations will be able to positively impact financial and operational performance, with a strategic focus on measuring the return on sustainable investments and improving shareholder value.

"This alliance provides public companies with an unprecedented and integrated solution to improve sustainability disclosure and performance. This is achieved through access to the most comprehensive database of lagging indicators, predictive analytics, leading indicator-advisory services and tools that have proven to positively impact financial and operational performance," said Michael Muyot, President and Founder of CRD Analytics.

CRD Analytics is a leading independent provider of sustainability investment analytics information. The company's primary tool, SmartView™ 360, is a proprietary investment analytics platform that powers the NASDAQ CRD Global Sustainability Index (QCRD), the Global 1000 Sustainable Performance Leaders, and the Southeastern Corporate Sustainability Rankings. The platform distills large sets of complex financial and extra-financial data to produce comprehensive, relevant and actionable information for investors and executive decision makers.

MetaVu is a recognized thought leader in sustainability advisory, energy and environmental performance measurement including the Return on Environment (RoE) Index™, an award-winning leading indicator-based tool designed to measure sustainability of a company's products and business model. The RoE Index™ scorecard integrates existing standards and measurement frameworks (including GRI) into an organizational scorecard that links product and organizational maturity with the operational and financial indicators of shareholder value.

"Linking the lagging indicator analytics of the SmartView™ platform with leading indicator-based organizational capabilities and financials in the RoE Index™ provides a roadmap to drive innovation, seize market opportunities and mitigate business risks associated with energy, environmental and social performance," said Mark A. Serwinowski, President and Founder of MetaVu.
