Introduction
Build sustainable investments on stronger ground.
Go beyond ESG with objective metrics on how companies impact the world through the products and services they sell.
We have trust issues...in a good way.
We don't rely on disclosures of subjective opinions. Instead, we apply natural language processing to over 120 million peer-reviewed texts, bringing together the collected wisdom of the world's best experts, gathered without bias.
Util captures the positive and negative impacts of 50,000 companies on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and 2,000 further critical themes.
Why? Because existing sustainability rests on critically flawed data from two sides: it relies on what companies choose to disclose, and then depends on what analysts judge is relevant. Often, the result is information on companies that depends on who you ask. And to us, that's neither factual, nor what investors need and deserve.
Objective
Companies are evaluated in terms of business activities, with conclusions derived from expert consensus, resulting in transparent data that you and your clients can trust.
Consistent
Every listed company in the world is subject to the same methodology, resulting in the largest impact dataset for public markets: one that allows like-for-like comparisons.
Comprehensive
We capture the positive and negative impacts of every company on the 17 UN SDGs and 2,000 sustainability themes, so you can measure companies and stocks in a variety of ways.
