Identify ESG incidents linked to your counter-parties

Yes, this is actually where Business Radar is strongest. Most ESG data providers rely on mainstream media and disclosures, which means smaller and unlisted companies barely show up. Our coverage includes long-tail, local and niche sources across 100+ languages, so suppliers, distributors and other non-listed counterparties are monitored with the same depth as listed companies.

Yes. Our media archive lets you surface past controversies, because an environmental violation from years ago doesn't disappear from a company's risk profile. Events are classified into ESG themes and tracked over time on an event timeline, so you can also spot patterns, such as repeated incidents that contradict a company's public sustainability commitments.

Signals are classified into 50+ ESG-relevant categories across environment, social and governance, ranging from emissions, waste and biodiversity to labour practices, workplace safety, corruption and regulatory action. These sit within our broader taxonomy of 210+ risk categories, and you choose which ones are relevant to your risk appetite.

Yes, both. Every signal is scored for sentiment in real time, and our Materiality Filter goes a step further: it assesses whether an event is likely to have a genuine, material impact on the specific company, not just whether it mentions an ESG keyword. In practice this removes the majority of noise. One client saw a 65% reduction in flagged articles without losing risk coverage.

Business Radar isn't a reporting tool, but it provides the controversy and adverse media inputs these frameworks expect: identifying material ESG risks across your value chain with a traceable evidence trail. Our classifications align with recognised frameworks including the SASB Materiality Matrix, the EU Taxonomy and the UN SDGs, so findings slot into your CSRD, SFDR or due diligence processes.

Yes. You can work in the Business Radar platform or bring results into your own systems via our API, JSON/CSV exports, or native integrations with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack and Teams. Batch upload means you can onboard an entire supplier or customer portfolio, whether that's 50 or 50,000 companies, in a few clicks.
