2

Entity resolution

A GLEIF legal-entity match resolves the company to its LEI and country of domicile, with precision name-matching so "Apple Watch" doesn't get attributed to Apple Inc. by mistake.

Authoritative registries

Questions

FAQ.

What's the difference between this and the SEC ESG events product?
This product (hsh-esg-news) is broad and global — media-sourced controversy plus EU sanctions, fast and high-volume. The separate SEC-sourced ESG-events product is narrower and authoritative, drawing company-attributed material events from SEC filings. Use this for fast portfolio screening; use the SEC product for filing-grade events.
How does entity resolution prevent false matches?
It resolves names against the GLEIF registry and applies word-boundary and canonical-name matching, so a controversy about "Apple Watch" resolves to Apple Inc. and "Hannah Stryker" doesn't get attached to Stryker Corp.
Which sanctions list is used?
The EU consolidated sanctions list — screened directly from the authoritative source, with an EU-domicile filter. It's not a paid compliance-vendor intermediary.
Why is this the cheapest product?
It's designed as the high-volume gateway — a screening call you make across a whole portfolio. Priced to be called often, not as a deep one-off research call.
Is the controversy data real-time?
It draws on GDELT's continuous global media monitoring, so it reflects current media coverage at call time.
