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 any sustainability concept or framework (including client- defined).
Our proprietary Evidence Engine maps a company’s products to sustainability concepts using peer-reviewed academic research as evidence. The result is an objective data set that shows, with evidence, a company's positive and negative impact to the world.
Unlike some traditional ESG data providers that base their scores on subjective or company-reported disclosures, Util bases its evaluations on objective research and quantifiable evidence, shedding light on how a company affects society and the environment at the product level, yielding deeper insights into company exposure.
