The Workflow
Scrape News and Social Media
Use a News API to monitor for company mentions alongside ESG keywords (e.g., "carbon footprint", "labor rights", "board diversity").
Watch out: Filter out generic marketing fluff to focus on investigative journalism and independent reports.
Score ESG Sentiment
Analyze the sentiment and substance of the news using AI. Categorize each event into E, S, or G and assign a risk score based on the source's credibility.
Watch out: High-risk events (e.g., a toxic spill) should trigger an immediate high-priority alert.
Generate Weekly Compliance Brief
Format all signals into a clean brief for the executive team. Highlight any trends that indicate a shift in the company's ESG standing.
Watch out: Focus on actionable recommendations, not just a list of news links.
