Illuminating ESG Controversies

Facilitating Socially-Responsible

Investing and Action

Controversion research is all about Investigating incidents or events with ties to a corporation that may have unfavorable effects on the environment, society, or governance practices.

Some examples of such occurrences are pollution, water stress, misuse of human rights, strikes, discrimination of workforce, data privacy, corruption, controversial investments etc.

We conduct research on these topics to help investors and other stakeholders make educated decisions regarding their investments and interactions with the firm in the wake of controversies.

Screening Studies

for Assessing ESG Efficiency

To gauge how well a company is doing in terms of sustainability and ethics, researchers use a process called “screening.”

Standard sustainability measures evaluate a company’s commitment to sustainability and calculate its ESG score. Topics included in the screening are not restricted to those related to cigarettes, alcohol, and gambling.

By contrast, negative screening seeks out businesses with poor ESG performance or linkages to contentious activities, while positive screening seeks out those who excel in these areas.

We thoroughly examine a company’s offerings as part of our commitment to rigorous investigation. We take great care to unearth any unfavorable screening motifs related to them.
