(Head office: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka; Representative Director: Shunsuke Managi; hereinafter "aiESG"), an ESG quantitative evaluation company, has launched an ESG evaluation service that uses AI (artificial intelligence) to objectively score the contents of integrated reports published by companies. The service is available for English-language reports, and will contribute to the enhancement of corporate value by suggesting areas for improvement based on global trends.

Integrated reports integrate and disclose a company's financial and non-financial information. In recent years, integrated reports containing ESG management and sustainability information have come to affect credit ratings and influence evaluations by all stakeholders (shareholders, investors, customers, financial institutions, employees, local communities, etc.). On the other hand, many companies have only organized ESG information qualitatively, and an increasing number of companies are presenting quantitative analysis results to appeal to investors and other stakeholders in order to disclose more persuasive information. However, analyzing this information is time-consuming and costly, and objective and highly accurate analysis methods have not yet been established.

aiESG for IR, an integrated report evaluation service using a generative AI developed by our company, learns from ESG-related news and integrated reports on the Web, determines the consistency between ESG-related social demands and the integrated report of the company being evaluated, and scores it objectively on multiple items. We can also compare your integrated report with integrated reports from around the world. We read the English PDF text of your integrated report, analyze how other companies in your industry prepare their annual reports and how much they focus on which aspects of economic, social, human rights, environment, governance, etc., and provide you with examples of how they are rated. We will also provide examples of how they have been evaluated.

As the demands on companies regarding environmental and human rights issues are changing at a dizzying pace, our AI-based service "aiESG for IR" can be used to efficiently compare your report with the latest information. We can show you the improvements necessary for a more appealing integrated report, such as deviations from industry trends and competitor trends from a global perspective, the need to update goals, and weak expressions in the terms used in the report.

This service has already been adopted by Kyushu Electric Power Co.

We will continue to contribute to the value enhancement of companies that are committed to sustainability, based on the strength of our internationally and academically proven scientific analytical methods.

In addition, since the only data required from the customer is product cost structure data or physical quantity data, ESG supply chain disclosures, which previously required enormous man-hours, are facilitated.
