Where and how do you source your data?
Util is the only data provider that uses artificial intelligence to gather sustainability evidence at scale. Companies are measured by their products: a reliable, available, objective metric. We apply natural language processing to 120 million academic texts to identify relationships between 7,000 products and services and 2,000 sustainability concepts in our proprietary framework.
With SDG Impact for Public Companies, Util’s sustainability concepts are linked to the SDGs, and products are aggregated to a revenue- and geographically- adjusted company level. The result is an objective and reliable measure of any company’s impact on the SDGs, based on its makeup of products, weighted for the region in which they’re sold.
We cover every listed company—50,000—uniformly, across size, sector and geography, and against every sustainability concept.
What is the cost for your data offering?
SDG for Public Companies is $20,000. Our data will be available through:
