The Challenge Isn’t Screening, It’s Doing It Right

Negative screening is one of the most established ESG practices, but executing it at scale is another story. Assessing indirect exposure, handling undisclosed revenues, and applying consistent criteria across thousands of companies requires reliable, transparent data. Without it, exclusions can become inconsistent, time-consuming, and difficult to defend.

  • What insights does the Exposures solution provide?

    Clarity AI provides revenue-based data on company involvement in 15 categories and 47 sub-topics such as fossil fuels, defense, alcohol, and tobacco. This helps investors align portfolios with exclusion policies, values, and regulatory requirements.

  • Where does the exposures data come from?

    Our team collects data from annual reports, regulatory filings, company websites, NGOs, media search tools, and business directories. We also use AI-driven methods like large language models (LLMs) to enhance coverage and reliability.

  • How much of the data is estimated?

    Many companies don’t report the data needed for business involvement screening. We provide full transparency by clearly indicating whether each data point is reported or estimated. Reported data includes the source and a direct link to the evidence. For estimated data, we offer links to supporting sources and a clear explanation of the estimation methodology.

  • Can I use Exposures data in a broader mandate?

    Yes, the data is accessible through our web app and via APIs and data feeds, making it easy to combine it with other datasets for more in-depth screening within your existing workflows.

  • How does Clarity AI handle direct vs. indirect exposure?

    We distinguish between companies directly generating revenue from a flagged activity and those indirectly involved through ownership or supply chains. This level of granularity helps avoid over-exclusion and supports more precise screening aligned with your investment policies.
