Covalence first uses a set of 50 criteria inspired by the Global Reporting Initiative’s sustainability reporting guidelines.
These criteria serve to classify the narrative content which is gathered thanks to our semi-automated search process.
The data is then recoded with hundreds of topics and sub-topics and organized into 11 dimensions within 3 categories: Environment, Social, Governance.
The data is also classified with the Sustainable Development Goals to show companies’ mapping to the SDGs to provide insightful material for impact analysis and to support thematic investment strategies; as well as with SASB materiality map, UN Global Compact Principles and SFDR Principal adverse impacts.
