Database info

Truvalue Labs applies artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover risks and opportunities from companies’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) behavior, which are aggregated and categorized into continuously updated, material ESG scores. Truvalue Labs focuses on company ESG behavior from external sources and includes both positive and negative events that go beyond traditional sources of ESG risk. Through the platform, you can read articles from over 100,000 external vetted sources in 13 languages, including over 10,000 paywall sources. This provides complete transparency to the driving factors behind the scores.
