Our Story
Redefining the legacy ESG data market
In 2014, our founder set out to collect and analyze climate data from companies, benchmarking performance and highlighting leaders through ESG KPIs. Back then, few companies reported at all.
Vision
To set a new standard for ESG data, where transparency replaces assumption and trust is built on traceability.
Mission
Provide clear, current and traceable ESG data that reduces manual work and enables better decisions.
Why we were founded
The parallel was simply too hard to ignore.
At the Tokyo Olympics, 22 judges had to manually decide sprint results – no high-speed cameras existed.
Data providers and in-house data teams are extracting ESG data manually from PDFs – Basically, relying on the same “eyeball method” as in 1964.
We’re facing a planetary crisis. The data meant to help us solve it, data that has to be accurate and reliable enough to trust, is still accessed with outdated methods, costing us time we don’t have and leading to mistakes we can’t afford.
So we created a better way.
The information was already public.
But no reliable way to structure it at scale existed.
