What it is
ESG Book is a real-time sustainability data platform offering free access to ESG scores, controversy tracking, and framework alignment data for thousands of publicly listed companies. Users can view company-level scores across environmental, social, and governance dimensions, track how scores change over time, and compare companies within sectors. Premium tiers add deeper analytics and API access.
Why we picked this
Most ESG data platforms charge thousands per year. ESG Book provides a credible free tier that gives individual investors and researchers access to the same data categories institutional investors use. Its real-time scoring model updates continuously rather than annually, catching controversies and improvements that static ratings miss.
Key takeaways
- ESG Book updates company scores in real-time using natural language processing of news, reports, and regulatory filings, rather than waiting for annual reassessments.
- The free tier provides company-level ESG scores, controversy alerts, and UN SDG alignment for thousands of global equities.
- The platform's transparent methodology publishes scoring criteria, allowing users to understand exactly how each score is calculated.
