Brief description of the data offering
ESG Controversies Insights™ is a real-time controversy monitoring solution covering all private and listed companies globally. It detects, classifies, and tracks ESG controversies across environmental, social, and governance dimensions, combining AI-powered analysis with expert human review to deliver verified insights within 24 hours.
Each controversy is structured around a full event lifecycle, from initial detection through to resolution, with classification by type and status (ongoing, partially concluded, or concluded). The offering is aligned with leading ESG standards and frameworks, supported by a transparent and documented methodology.
Data is accessible via a web platform with interactive dashboards and real-time alerts, CSV export, or REST API with webhook support, making it adaptable to a wide range of workflows and technical environments.
Where and how do you source your data?
AlphaYoda aggregates data from over 5 million sources worldwide, spanning a broad spectrum of media and information types: international, national, regional, and local news outlets; social media platforms; NGO and civil society reports; judicial and regulatory filings; academic publications; and corporate disclosures. Coverage extends across more than 90 languages, ensuring that controversies surfaced in local-language press or non-English jurisdictions are captured with the same rigor as those reported in major international media.
Data is collected and processed in near real-time, with continuous ingestion pipelines ensuring that new controversies are identified and scored within hours of initial publication. Historical depth spans several years, enabling trend analysis and longitudinal controversy tracking at the company level.
Quality control is embedded at multiple stages of the pipeline. Automated deduplication prevents the same event from being counted multiple times across sources. Entity resolution ensures that mentions are correctly attributed to the right legal entity, including subsidiaries and rebranded entities. A structured taxonomy of ESG controversy categories, aligned with international frameworks, governs classification, and analyst review is applied to high-severity or ambiguous cases before final scoring.
