S&P Global Sustainable1 has launched a new UN Global Compact (UNGC) Screening Dataset aimed at strengthening ESG risk oversight across 16,500 companies worldwide, with plans to expand coverage to 24,000 firms. The dataset helps investors, banks, and corporations evaluate company alignment with the UNGC’s 10 principles covering human rights, labor standards, environmental responsibility, and anti-corruption practices.
The screening solution combines controversy monitoring and business involvement analysis to identify potential ESG risks and corporate conduct issues. Powered by AI and machine learning, the platform continuously scans millions of public sources globally, while findings are reviewed by Sustainable1 researchers to improve accuracy. The dataset is designed to support investment decisions, portfolio management, and ongoing ESG risk oversight.
