Comparison of sustainability reports via text recognition

The challenge

Current legislation requires a large number of companies to disclose their sustainability-related data or report to suppliers and partners through supply chain commitments. Many existing sustainability reports are difficult to compare due to inconsistent data and formats.

The solution

Sustainalyze is an intelligent document analysis software that reads sustainability reports, records them semantically and makes information
comparable. It provides a completeness analysis and plausibility check. To identify relevant sustainability aspects from different perspectives, companies carry out a materiality analysis. Through effective benchmarking in these key aspects, companies can analyze their performance in comparison to industry standards and make targeted improvements. In addition, the sustainability performance of companies along their own supply chain can be reviewed. Only publicly available data is used for the comparison, which makes the basis for the assessment transparent.
