RepRisk is a rapidly growing global company and pioneer in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data science field. Our mission is to foster positive change by promoting transparency in business practices through the power of data. Leveraging AI, machine learning, and human intelligence, we analyze public information to identify ESG risks, serving as a reality check for how companies conduct their business worldwide - do they walk their talk when it comes to human rights, labour standards, corruption, and environmental issues?
