Evidence, not estimates
Every answer traces back to company disclosure.
ESGAUGE turns complex filings and reports into consistent fields your team can filter, compare, and defend.
Our coverage & methodology- 01
Sourced from public disclosure
Every figure originates in a filed document — proxy statements, 10-Ks, 8-Ks, sustainability and CSR reports. We do not model, estimate, or score.
- 02
Read and coded to a fixed schema
Each data point maps to a defined field in a versioned library, so the same provision is captured the same way across thousands of issuers and across years.
- 03
Reviewed by analysts
Extraction is assisted by machine reading, but our analysts review and reconcile the output before it enters a library. Disclosure rates are reported alongside every metric, so gaps stay visible.
