    Through the Climate Connectivity Hub and Taxonomy, we’re connecting the dots across fragmented climate knowledge. This example shows how an IPCC concept and definition, enriched with synonyms and scope notes, can link to related online content, building connections, reducing knowledge silos, and fostering shared understanding of how language is used in practice. https://lnkd.in/ecr5nPCN SEI – Stockholm Environment Institute FAIR2Adapt-EOSC.eu DIRECTED Project Kate Williamson Ruth Butterfield Adam Wangrat James Phare REGILIENCE BRIGAID Connect

    Sustainability reporting has a consistency problem 😬 Even where frameworks are followed data is still often disclosed using a range of formats and conventions creating challenges for analysts comparing companies. By leveraging entity-resolved Knowledge Graphs, we are able to use flexible data integration to create consistency. Knowledge Graphs enable us to model the messy real world, reality of sustainability data for precision and the holistic analysis that ESG professionals need.

    You know what type of information you hope to find & exactly how you want it served up, but you also want the context, evidence, assumptions and sources.

    You know what type of information you hope to find & exactly how you want it served up, but you also want the context, evidence, assumptions and sources. You want to understand 'the how' and 'the why' and discover new information. That means: Asking precise questions, with clear rules, for clear responses. While there are tradeoffs (like literal responses that answer your query as you’ve written it, rather than the reality it reflects), structured prompting can be especially helpful for any question that will have to be repeated 🔁 Tip: If you’re scoring disclosures, tracking policy-specific measures, or benchmarking performance, your questions must specify both the criteria and output format 💡

Ask precise questions, with clear rules, for clear responses.” Bullet points: “Defined, Repeatable, Specific.” ResponsibleCapital.io logo in the bottom right.

    72% of S&P 500 companies disclosed AI as a ‘material risk’ on their 10-Ks this year "38% of them disclosed potential reputational threats from AI on their 10-Ks. Forty-five companies mentioned “implementation and adoption” risks, such as overpromising on AI projects or AI not meeting expectations, while 42 stated that consumer-facing AI was a risk. Other reputational risks companies mentioned included privacy and data risks, hallucinations, competitive threats, and issues with bias and fairness." https://lnkd.in/eCspGV5C

    We aren’t a fixed database. You aren’t locked into someone else’s methodology 🔓 Our tool is more like a sandbox: Drop in an idea or a standard, and a couple of hours later you’ve got something that looks suspiciously like a finished product. For example: #BCorp’s recently revised standards with a new “risk tool” added on—basically a set of due diligence flag questions. We tested a simple version on a handful of Euro Stoxx 50 names outputting a spreadsheet with flags and plain-English explanations. It touched on potential risks like chemical production, ecosystem risk, health & safety, and Indigenous rights. These flags nudge us to look closer, with chemical processes, water risks, and health and safety coming up most often ⚠️ No need to be locked into a rigid tool or methodology or for weeks of manual research - instead an intuitive DIY #DueDiligence approach. If you’ve got an idea you’d like to try, we’re always up for putting it to the test.

    The material ESG risks of methane for M&A deals.

    View profile for Andrew Howell
    Andrew Howell

    Can you name this stock? Last month, over $2b of market cap was erased in minutes --> mismanagement of #methane likely played a major role. A record cash M&A deal was pulled --> mismanagement of methane. This company is not an OGMP 2.0 member --> a red flag.  These events are a stark reminder that companies that fail to manage methane emissions expose themselves, their investors and other stakeholders to serious risk. Who am I talking about? See comments.
