Upright AI quantifies company sustainability impacts. 4h ago · 0:00 listen · Source: ESG Today Summary. Upright has launched a new AI model to measure companies' sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities. This new large language model, or LLM, quantifies these factors using scientific evidence. It moves beyond relying on corporate disclosures or general AI models. Upright's co-founder and CEO, Annu Nieminen, states that the model shifts sustainability from a backward-looking report to a future-focused decision-making tool. It quantifies impacts, risks, and opportunities in monetary terms, allowing for scenario modeling. This LLM will power Upright's platform, helping companies, investors, and advisors assess impacts for any company, fund, or portfolio in real time. The model can be used for various sustainability applications, including climate risk assessment and financial effects. It also lets users combine this sustainability intelligence with their own data to benchmark against peers and explore evidence behind impact claims. This means more reliable and consistent sustainability analysis for everyone. This is an AI-generated audio summary. Always check the original source for complete reporting.
