Methodology

Since late 2019, Permutable AI has been using its in-house software to extract news worldwide concerning companies in its database. This news – based on 500,000 worldwide articles scanned daily – is selected based on the ESG and UN SDG taxonomy – so we can assess the involvement of specific companies in these issues across the globe.

Permutable also uses its proprietary AI tool, which uses natural language processing to check if an article is indeed talking about a specific company and its actions within an ESG sector. Additionally, Permutable uses a layer of AI sentiment analysis to determine whether the relevant sentences from an article are portraying the company in a positive, neutral, or negative light with respect to its corporate responsibilities.
