What is alphaESG solution? How it works? Who can use it?
alphaESG is an automated way to discover ESG related risks and opportunity signals of any company from publicly available information such as news or research reports. The subscription delivers timely and material insights based on the SASB framework for identifying sustainability issues.
alphaESG parses unstructured data such as news reports, research reports or disclosures from 90,000 companies to help the user form an independent perspective on a company’s ESG activity, reducing or eliminating the reliance on black box scoring models.
alphaESG users include ESG practitioners, research analysts, fund managers, portfolio managers, AMC’s and quantitative analysts exploring risk and opportunity signals for their research.
How is alphaESG different from others? How do you score a report or a News article? What does high or low ESG activity level indicate?
alphaESG’s fundamental value is to provide the user the ability to contextually analyze news articles or research reports or disclosures of a company through the filters of ESG General Issue Categories (GIC). It highlights specific paragraphs that speak to each ESG category so that relevant information for your research can be found quickly and easily.
alphaESG, provides an overall score as well as specific performance for individual categories for a particular company on a scale of 100. Higher score indicates stronger contextual relevance or signal of a particular ESG category. The scores are meant to reflect ESG activity by company/portfolio for each ESG category. The scores are meant to reflect the ESG activity by company/ portfolio based on SASB’s materiality map standards including 5 Sustainability dimensions and 26 General Issue Categories, which makeup SASB’s framework.
High or low activity doesn’t indicate positive or negative sentiment nor does it reflect compliance or non-compliance with SASB guidelines, rather, indicates the extent that news items for a company around certain ESG categories.
