Our ESG services assist businesses in integrating sustainability into their business offerings and operations, whether it is to build an ESG product, attract new investments, comply with ESG regulations, build trust with stakeholders, improve reputation, or retain talent. Through our ESG advisory services, we aggregate, cleanse, and validate data for a comprehensive list of ESG parameters assembled from various sources that help generate meaningful insights for informed decision-making. We deploys technology and AI-led innovations for automated identification, tracking, and extraction of ESG data. Through our ESG consulting services for corporates and capital market participants, we offer a holistic approach to assessing, measuring, strategizing, and reporting on the ESG performance of companies. Our strong service culture and domain expertise offer us an edge in effectively delivering tailored ESG services to meet a client’s unique sustainability requirements.
SGA’s ESG data and research solutions are driven by secondary research to analyze ESG trends, metrics, news, and controversies. Our scalable model enables us to deal with large-scale and dynamic data easily, making us a ‘brand behind the brand’ for rating agencies and ESG data platforms. Our data aggregation is accomplished through extensive research of company-level self-disclosed data, publicly available data, data from third-party sources, and controversial research data. We cleanse and validate data through data triangulation and ESG expert opinions while maintaining data integrity using data quality rules. To further generate deep insights, we incorporate the ESG integration strategy with peer benchmarking and gap analysis.
We automate the segregation of downloaded data into identified and non-identifiable documents through our Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) tool to extract data from identified sources based on contextual and decision-based business rules. Our intelligent data identification and extraction techniques ensure high data accuracy through analyst verification of the collected data.
Trained Natural Language Processing (NLP) engines help in categorizing information into ESG topics of interest to generate insights. The NLP engines are calibrated as per a customer’s engagement requirements to ensure speedy turnaround times.
SGA’s ESG consulting services are aimed at providing a one-stop solution for integrating sustainability with business operations – from screening and performing due diligence of portfolio companies for investment market participants to enhancing the ESG performance of corporates by identifying key components, focus areas, risks, and opportunities along with the recommendations for improvement.
