responsible economics
Recon, Responsible Economics is an ESG label for Financial Products and ETFs that certifies they meet rigorous ESG standards, under evolving international frameworks, empowering investors, businesses, and institutions to align capital with sustainability and responsibility.


Responsible Economics ESGM is a system and platform for Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) progression and transformation. It incubates a comprehensive database of trusted ESG sources to support the development of a new white-label ESG certification for financial products and services. This initiative is overseen by a consortium of leading research and policy institutions in the ESG space.
The platform includes a suite of diagnostic and data visualization tools, and an advanced training program. ESG Transit is shaped by the European Union’s forthcoming ESG regulations, taking effect in 2025, which mandate independent ESG ratings for financial products and expand corporate compliance requirements. It is also aligned with the EU’s stated interest in establishing an official Ecolabel for financial products by 2028–2029.
Responsible Economics ESGM is setting up an international consortium of universities anad key actors in the ESG space, together with a new ESG white-label for financial products very much aligned with what the EU wants to develop for 2028-29 as the official EU Ecolabel for financial products.
What Responsible Economics ESGM is proposing is different than existing ESG labels (e.g. Morningstar, MSCI ESG, S&P ESG indices) in its independence, top academic association/consortium, the superior model we use to address dynamically ESG factor materiality, the licensing business model and a user-friendly suite of apps that offer diagnostics, visualization, training, reports and certifications, easily accessible and valuable for all stake and stockholders.
