Building a global data supply chain to support an ML-built sustainability dataset on companies and their value chains

Global changes have highlighted the interconnections and dependencies on ecosystems, natural resources, business relationships and economies. Traditional financial data fails to fully capture this systemic and quickly changing landscape that is our modern world. ESG (environmental, social, governance) data can serve as valued information for informing which companies are adapting to current challenges and which are lagging behind. For Dun & Bradstreet, this means extending its efforts around business transparency to generate ESG intel on millions of public and private companies and their supply chains that can bring better awareness on business partnerships and investments. This presentation will showcase analysis that explores the relationship between ESG metrics and company resiliency during volatile events, and will provide a deep dive into how the Dun & Bradstreet teams rapidly built a global data supply chain and ML-enabled tools to support constant updating, maintenance and ingestion of structured and unstructured ESG-related sources to support the world’s largest repository of ESG company data.
