Solutions / ESG
The ESG data layer for 135M operating companies.
Scores with justifications, GHG from disclosures, news and commitments source-attributed. Weekly refresh across 166M locations and 1.3B products. Built for CSRD filers, fund managers, insurers, and the ESG platforms that embed the layer.
Trusted by global intelligence, risk, and procurement teams
The gap
Ratings end where disclosure ends.
Traditional data vendors cap under 20,000 listed companies between them. Pick your role and see where the gap shows up in the work.
Suppliers we need to report on are not rated.
CSRD, CBAM, and CSDDD all require supplier-level evidence in the filing. Disclosure-based ratings cap under 20,000 listed companies. The mid-market suppliers every questionnaire cascade lands on sit outside that ceiling, and every gap turns into a compliance risk at filing.
Our strong point
Four ESG modules on 135M operating companies, cross-walked to ESRS, CBAM, and CSDDD themes.
Framework crosswalk
One data layer. Every disclosure framework.
One data model, every regulator. A CSRD filer, an SFDR fund manager, and a TCFD insurer each need their own disclosure framework — all three read from the same 26 risk criteria, mapped across 3 pillars and 11 themes. Custom taxonomies integrate alongside the defaults.

Blind spots
Questions only Veridion can answer
Each one goes dark on disclosure-based ratings alone.
Of my Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, which have CSRD-scope ESG controversies in the last 30 days that I have to explain in this year's filing?
For CBAM reporting, which of my suppliers in cement, steel, aluminum, fertilizers have reported Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions baselines - and which need activity-and-location estimates?
Which of my Tier-n suppliers have operating facilities in UFLPA-scope regions at the facility level, not just the company HQ?
For every name in my SFDR Article 9 fund, can I pull a score with a justification a compliance officer can file - not a black-box number?
Where does my private credit and small-cap exposure get zero ESG coverage from disclosure-based ratings today - and what is the coverage if I switch the data layer?
Which of my portfolio companies had a material ESG controversy in the last seven days that a quarterly ratings refresh would miss?
For the private-company and supply-chain gaps in our current coverage, what is the net-new entity count when Veridion is layered on top?
If our customers pull a score through our platform, can we stand behind the justification chain - source URL, pillar, theme, criterion to the customer's auditor?
Can we licence one module - Commitments only, or News only - independently, or is this a full-suite buy?
For the 80% of my commercial book that is private, can I pull an ESG score with a justification my reinsurer will accept?
For a sustainability-linked product, can I set eligibility thresholds on the 26 UNEP FI risk criteria independently - not just the overall score?
For physical climate risk, can I cross-reference every insured's operating facilities against flood, wildfire, and grid-carbon zones at the site level?
In production
From filing to fund label.
CSRD / CBAM / CSDDD
CSRD Wave 2 delayed to FY2027, but the supplier-questionnaire cascade still lands on mid-market suppliers that Wave 2 exemption did not cover. CBAM is financially binding on cement, steel, aluminum, fertilizers, and electricity from January 2026. Tier-n suppliers sit outside disclosure-based ratings coverage.
Batch enrichment of supplier lists with Scores, GHG Metrics, News, and Commitments. UNEP FI taxonomy cross-walks to ESRS themes, EU Taxonomy activities, and CBAM sector scope. Every value carries source attribution an auditor can follow.

Proof
Four-module contract locked. Batch enrichment live today. ESRS, CBAM, and CSDDD cross-walks ship with the batch.
Coverage
Coverage beyond the listed universe.
Public companies are just the tip. Veridion indexes every operating company with a digital footprint — the mid-market SMBs and supply-chain tier-2s that CSRD filers and fund managers need to assess, but won't find in traditional disclosure databases.
The ~20k listed universe that disclosure-based ratings cover. Veridion covers it too, with richer operational signal layered on top.
The target universe for PE diligence, private credit, and SFDR Article 9 rollup. Structurally under-covered by disclosure-based ratings.
The CSRD Wave 2 exemption did not remove the supplier-questionnaire cascade that lands on them. Still unrated by traditional data vendors.
Tier-n suppliers needed for Scope 3 attribution and CBAM embedded-carbon analysis. Zero coverage from any rating product.
Large globals are precomputed; the long tail is scored on demand through the same four-module contract.
Coverage and methodData depth
The four modules, and the rails underneath.
- Scores
- Every score with a justification string. Quartile benchmark within NAICS peer group.
- GHG Metrics
- Baseline versus target where published. Net-zero target dates. Source URL on every line.
- News
- Source URL, pillar, theme, criterion, sentiment, confidence per article.
- Commitments
- Verbatim source snippet and URL per commitment. Pillar, theme, and criterion tags.
- Classification
- NAICS plus every mainstream scheme. Quartile position within peer group grounds every score.
- Location
- Contextualises ESG signals at the facility level. Manufacturing versus office separated.
- Corporate linkage
- Fund-level aggregation and PE portfolio rollup across the right legal boundary.
- Products
- FSC, ISO 14001, EU Ecolabel, Blue Angel, and similar certifications tagged at the product line.
- Adverse media
- Labour, environmental, governance, corruption. Feeds News and contributes to scoring.

Governance
Auditable by design.
- Every ESG score carries a justification string. Every news item ships with source URL, pillar, theme, criterion, sentiment, and confidence. Every commitment carries the verbatim source snippet.
- Robots.txt-compliant sourcing. No personal data. The scoring model weights actions over commitments, and a +/-5-point stability guardrail governs score movement between runs on substantially similar inputs.
- Veridion supports compliance reporting. External auditors provide assurance. The data is audit-ready in the sense of carrying a provenance trail back to the signal that produced it, not audited by Veridion.
