Brief description of the data offering
ESG Controversies Violations™ is a compliance monitoring solution that automatically assesses company behavior against major international normative frameworks, including the UN Global Compact, OECD Guidelines, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO conventions, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Each controversy is evaluated through a structured three-level classification: Violation, Watchlist, or No Violation, enabling clients to prioritize risk management efforts and minimize reputational exposure. The methodology is transparent, consistent, and fully aligned with SFDR requirements, including PAI indicator 10, supporting regulatory reporting and disclosure obligations.
Data is accessible via a web platform with interactive dashboards and real-time alerts, CSV export, or REST API with webhook support.
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.
