ESG Momentum Tracker Tool Launched

An AI-tool to help investors measure and sentiment score news reports for listed businesses has been launched by GaiaLens. The tool, GaiaLens Momentum AI (MAI), scores articles in real-time against ESG reporting criteria such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to assess whether companies are in breach. “GaiaLens MAI helps investors to accurately interpret what is happening right now with companies’ ESG performance before it comes through in the ‘hard’ numbers. Processing this news data in real-time allows us to capture the ESG momentum of a given company and chart improvements in its overall ESG score,” said Gordon Tveito-Duncan, Co-founder and CEO at GaiaLens. “This interpretation supports more accurate sentiment scoring to enable investors to track key ESG-linked news as it emerges, gains momentum and potentially impacts their portfolio holdings, either positively or negatively.”
