ESGanalyser

ESGanalyser is a software platform designed to assess environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of companies. The tool ingests data from corporate disclosures, sustainability reports, regulatory filings, press coverage, and other alternative data sources to produce standardized ESG scores, benchmarks, and risk indicators.

Functionality includes data ingestion and cleaning, normalization across standards, a modular scoring model, sector and peer benchmarking, trend analysis, and customizable dashboards and reports. Users can access results through a web interface or an API, enabling integration with investment research workflows and enterprise systems.

Methodology aims for transparency and reproducibility by documenting data sources, scoring rules, and weighting schemes. The platform supports scenario analysis and stress testing of ESG metrics under different conditions.

Typical users include asset managers, risk officers, and corporate sustainability teams who use ESGanalyser to monitor performance, compare peers, and inform investment or governance decisions.

Limitations: ESG data quality varies across jurisdictions and standards; differences between reporting frameworks can affect comparability; and subjective judgments in scoring can lead to biases. As with other ESG tools, ESGanalyser is one input in decision processes and should be complemented with qualitative analysis.
