This streamlined data can increase team efficiency and allow for a larger universe of approved investible names.

With increasing ESG regulations, we help ensure that client’s data is organized and can meet the necessary regional disclosure requirements. This not only help minimize regulatory fines but also reduces reputational risk and increases stakeholder and client confidence.
Controversy monitoring
Timely data, curated to the portfolio manager’s investment philosophy, is essential for identifying red flags and can ultimately be used as a tool for portfolio risk management. Evalueserve’s approach assesses the Connection a company has on a controversy, the Action they are taking, the Severity of the issue and Exposure (C.A.S.E.). The C.A.S.E framework gives control over the quantity of assessments and the flexibility to customize the output to reduce confusion by either keeping the raw data or converting it into an aggregated metric. The AI algorithm combs over 10,000+ data sources and analyses over 230+ ESG risk indicators across the E, S, and G dimensions, including 23 themes and 40 sub-themes.
Greenwashing assessment
Assess Greenwashing in corporate commitment and claims for a portfolio company. Evalueserve’s C.A.R.T framework assesses the Clarity a company has on its ESG commitment, the Accuracy of the statements made, the Relevance of the issues covered, and Transparency of reporting (C.A.R.T.) The AI algorithm combs through corporate commitments in news reporting and sustainability reporting across the E, S, and G dimensions.
Business & Product involvement screening
Evalueserve’s baseline Business & Product Involvement framework gives client’s flexibility and scalability to quickly and clearly understand whether companies in their target universe have involvement in an activity of interest and how much there is. This baseline B&P Involvement methodology has 5 B&P categories, 29 practices and over 60+ involvement categories.
