Legacy ESG Ratings Miss the Real Risk

Despite their widespread use, traditional ESG scores often fail to capture the full picture—leaving insurers and investors exposed to unseen threats.

Opaque Methodologies

You get a score - but not the logic behind it. Most platforms don’t reveal how they weight different ESG factors or whether future-facing metrics like transition plans are considered.

Performance-Free Scoring

Legacy systems over-rely on claims and commitments instead of verified outcomes. The result? Inflated ratings that don’t reflect real-world risk.

Incomplete & Stale Data

ESG scores often rely on outdated disclosures and sector averages, especially for private companies. That means today’s risk signals go undetected.

The Solution?

Our powerful LLM technology analyzes collected data qualitatively, identifying genuine ESG initiatives and verified actions, distinguishing authentic commitments from marketing language, and capturing nuanced details from complex information.
