Ranks companies on ESG/emissions reporting to show leaders and laggards in environmental performance.
Problem
Corporate sustainability performance is difficult to assess due to inconsistent reporting and fragmented datasets. Stakeholders lack a reliable, unified view of which companies lead—or lag—in environmental responsibility. Companies use different reporting frameworks, making it challenging to compare performance across industries or identify genuine leaders versus those engaged in greenwashing.
Overview
This project ranks companies by their sustainability and emissions performance, creating a transparent, data-driven view of corporate environmental impact. The system synthesizes information from multiple ESG reporting frameworks, emissions disclosures, and sustainability commitments to produce comparable scores across companies and industries.
How It Works (Approach)
The system aggregates emissions data, sustainability commitments, and ESG indicators from publicly available sources including company reports, CDP disclosures, and regulatory filings. The data is standardized using common metrics and frameworks, then weighted and combined into composite sustainability scores. The methodology accounts for industry-specific factors and company size. Results are visualized through rankings, trend analysis, and comparative dashboards.
Impact / Value
Investors, consumers, and researchers gain a clearer understanding of environmental leaders and laggards, supporting responsible investment and policy decisions. The rankings enable stakeholders to make informed choices about which companies to support, invest in, or regulate. By creating transparency, the project encourages better corporate environmental practices and helps hold companies accountable.
