METHODOLOGY Unlike traditional SDG alignment tools that provide no explainability into the “whys” and the “hows” a given company receives a score for each of the 17 global goals, Datacie’s Sustainable Development Goals data solution is a unique compilation of textual insights that provide financial market participants with the neutrality needed to arbitrate on the reported actions and goals. This dataset is built from all available data sources that contain ESG information on publicly listed companies, including self-reported filings, CSR reports, press releases, corporate websites & other corporate disclosures. As a trusted data partner, Datacie is committed to delivering competitive and error-free data products to its clients. To this end, we have designed an unrivaled NLP-powered methodology that reads, understands, and captures all the sentences from unstructured sources (websites, documents, media releases...) that contain a goal or an action towards one of the 17 SDGs, regardless of the companies self-declared alignment with the goals. In a first pass, our technology exploits the semantic decomposition and the grammatical structure of a sentence to determine whether it contains ESG-related goals (forward-looking) or actions (present). In a second pass, the NLP models classifies each sentence into one of the 17 goals introduced by the United Nations. By construction, our technology also predicts diverse quality and confidence indicators for each sentence captured; our ESG experts then review these quality indicators and carry thorough qualitative investigations of the extracted information, guaranteeing that the SDG-related goals and actions are fully accurate and that no crucial items are missed. After inception, the entire dataset is audited and evaluated for trustworthiness. Every data entry passes through hundreds of quality checks that automatically identify outliers and potentially misreported observations. Additional manual checks are performed on low-confident sentences, ensuring that the final data product is free from poor-quality observations. STATUS & DELIVERY The Sustainable Development Goals dataset is currently being compiled and prepared for our clients’ preferred usage; additional coverage (temporal and company-wise) and existing/new columns can be modified/added on demand.
