The problem we solve

Controversies move faster than annual reports

ESG risk often shows up as incidents and breaches long before it appears in disclosures — and missing them undermines your ratings and screens.

Scattered signals

Incidents surface across news, NGOs, regulators and courts.

Easy to miss

Without monitoring, controversies slip past your screens.

🔎

Hard to assess

Judging severity and relevance consistently is difficult.
