Companiesis

Companiesis is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2018 with the aim of providing an open-source framework for evaluating the social and environmental performance of companies worldwide. The organization operates a collaborative online platform that aggregates data on carbon emissions, labor practices, diversity metrics, and governance structures from publicly disclosed reports, third‑party audits, and regulatory filings. By standardizing measurement metrics and offering a visual dashboard, Companiesis seeks to make corporate responsibility more transparent and comparable across sectors.

The flagship product of Companiesis is the “Company Impact Score” (CIS), a composite indicator that summarizes a firm’s performance across the five pillars of sustainability: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, governance, financial health, and innovation impact. The CIS is calculated using a weighted algorithm that incorporates industry benchmarks and peer‑group data to account for sector‑specific challenges. Users of the platform include investors, analysts, academics, and policymakers who use the scores to inform investment decisions, research studies, and policy recommendations.

Companiesis also hosts an annual symposium that brings together corporate executives, sustainability experts, and civil‑society leaders to discuss emerging trends and regulatory developments in corporate accountability. In addition, it offers a certification program for companies that demonstrate a high level of compliance with the CIS criteria. The organization’s headquarters are located in San Francisco, with regional offices in London and Singapore. Companiesis is funded through a mix of grants, sponsorships, and subscription fees for premium analytics services.
