A Smarter Solution: Verified, Standardized, and Direct ESG DataInstead of relying on
inconsistent and outdated ESG reports, companies and investors need a
better data model — one that integrates
real-time, standardized, and verified sustainability information. A

- Investors and regulators can compare companies using a single, standardized set of ESG indicators.
✅
Impact: Ensures accurate, comparable data, making benchmarking easier and more reliable.

✅
Impact: Increases data
trustworthiness and transparency, reducing the risk of misleading ESG claims.

✅
Impact: Ensures businesses remain
compliant with evolving ESG regulations, avoiding fines and reputational damage.
5. Smart Benchmarking and Analytics- AI-powered benchmarking tools allow companies and investors to compare ESG performance across industries, regions, and peers.
