Beyond the Company: Monitoring ESG Risks at the Project Level

SESAMm’s Dashboards Provide Deep Insights into Real Estate, Energy, Mining, and More

Informed decisions require the right data. SESAMm offers ESG professionals the flexibility to analyze not only the smallest of private companies but also to drill down to the project level.

What do we mean by projects? Investable capital projects and infrastructure assets, such as real estate, energy, infrastructure funds, and mining projects. For this article, we’ve set up our Event Monitoring dashboards to track mining projects. 

Our Event Monitoring Dashboards automatically track, evaluate, and categorize ESG controversies using 90 ESG risk categories. The controversies are given an Intensity Score, a proprietary metric that evaluates the severity of a controversy using a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being the most severe). 

In the Portfolio Monitoring view, the projects are ranked by the number of unique controversies and their intensity under each of the three ESG pillars. Using this view, users quickly identify the most at-risk project.

Each project also has a dedicated ESG controversy monitoring page providing insight into the controversy trends over time, access to the articles driving the alerts, and heatmaps showing the controversy distribution and intensity by subrisk. Altogether, it gives users clear visibility into the ESG risks related to the project.
