Problem
Investors and companies lack transparent, high-quality data to accurately assess the net impact of business operations on the world. Traditional sustainability reporting relies on self-reported data, which can be subjective and difficult to compare across different entities. This makes it challenging to make informed decisions about sustainability and financial performance.
Solution
The Upright Project offers an AI-driven quantification model that measures the net impact of companies and funds using independent scientific research and automated data collection. The model analyzes the positive and negative impacts of a company's core business, providing a science-based assessment of its overall effect on the world. This data enables investors to understand the real-world impact of their investments and helps companies focus on improving their net impact. Upright's data is openly available, promoting transparency and facilitating a more informed discussion about company impact.
