SESAMm has launched the Controversy Exposure Score, a new product designed to provide details of a company’s exposure to ESG controversies.

The product (CES) is a real-time score that reflects a company or project’s exposure to ESG controversies. SESAMm says the score captures both the severity and frequency of ESG incidents, allowing investors to monitor risks as they develop. The CES uses Large Language Models to filter and analyse data from 25 billion articles.

The CES includes an intensity score that measures the severity of each ESG incident, considering its impact on a company’s reputational, stakeholder, financial, and legal standing. It also includes a volume score that assesses the number of articles associated with an event, calculated using a short-term rolling window.
