ESG
ESG signal that moves with the news cycle, not the reporting cycle.
Most ESG datasets refresh on a quarterly or annual rhythm — long after the controversy is already public. Hizer surfaces ESG-relevant events the moment they appear in the global press, fully linked to the entities, sectors and geographies they affect.
What you get
ESG event detection in real time
Environmental incidents, labour disputes, regulatory actions, governance failures, lawsuits and controversies are detected on every article — globally and continuously.
Entity-level traceability
Companies, subsidiaries, executives and regulators are extracted and resolved — so ESG signal can be attached to your portfolio, supplier base or watchlist with precision.
Multilingual, source-deep coverage
ESG controversies often surface first in local-language reporting, NGOs and regional outlets. Coverage spans 135 languages and 235,000+ sources — so they are not missed.
Where it earns its keep
Asset managers and analysts
Layer live ESG signal on top of static ESG ratings — so portfolios react in days, not quarters, when something changes.
Corporate ESG and risk teams
Monitor your own group and supply chain for emerging ESG issues across geographies — and bring evidence-backed context to executive briefings.
Regulators and policy researchers
Track sectoral and country-level ESG patterns from a continuously updated multilingual stream — without depending on annual reports.
Your questions, answered
Is this an ESG rating?
No. Hizer is the live ESG signal layer underneath a rating — surfacing the events, controversies and disclosures that drive ESG views in real time, with full evidence and entity context.
How do you avoid false positives on common names?
Entities are resolved to canonical identities and disambiguated by context — so coverage about a specific company is separated from unrelated mentions of similar names.
Can we focus on specific portfolios or supply chains?
Yes. Watchlists of companies, subsidiaries, sectors and geographies can be configured — so the ESG view tracks exactly the entities that matter to your mandate.
Can our compliance and risk systems consume this?
Yes. ESG-relevant signals are available via the News API and Firehose, so they can flow into compliance, ESG and risk platforms directly.
