Our data cooperative makes data connected, searchable and trusted to accelerate impact. We have 3 stages in our approach, 1). we pool, aggregate and share climate and consumer data for our members, 2). we distill by making opaque and decentralised data open and accessible, 3). we irrigate and supply members with clean, connected data ‘on tap’ and equip them to mobilise information and accelerate their impact
