A unique and continuously evolving ontology

• Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques : automated interpretation of the narrative used in each document through the analysis of the relationship among key terms and concepts mentioned in the different sources

• “Automating human expertise” – a continuous process to combine artificial and human intelligence :

- Data scientists develop algorithms to match the manual analysis (of topics and terms) done by internal experts

- The results from each independent analysis are compared to ensure consistency and robustness in the engine’s results

• A system of bridged ontologies to ensure that each source is analyzed appropriately (since each has its own language, tone, and style)

PhD-trained machines analyzing millions of data points

Quick overview of the platform

Using Datamaran to assess Brazilian firms' ESG performance

• Every ESG issue is on average covered by about 45% of companies in Brazil

• However, the topics are mentioned with a high/or medium priority by only 20% of the companies

• A slight decline in Brazil over the past 2 years




➔ A precise and comparable assessment of ESG performance evolution between the BRIC countries




➔Possibility to see the big picture in terms of topics coverage




Examples of interpretation :

• Executive compensation is in the top 10 in every BRIC country but in Brazil

• A consistently higher emphasis on Forests, with a decrease in 2017
