Why we provide ESG data
ESG refers to a set of standards used to measure an organisation’s environmental and social impact. The increasing importance of ESG made us curious about what we could contribute. Since we scrape company websites, it is possible for us to indentify pages of a company’s website that are likely to contain ESG statements.How we indentify ESG statements
When we scrape a company’s website, we collect information from up to 25 pages of the website. We compare each URL that we scrape to a list of ESG keywords. If the URL contains any of these words, we assume that the web content for that sub-page relates to ESG. A few examples of the words we’re looking for are: sustainable, environment and gender. In addition, we check the internal links on each scraped page for any further matches to our list of ESG keywords.Where to find ESG data
On a company page, click theESG (beta) tab. If we have identified any ESG statement pages for that company, they will appear here.
