In 2023, ESGSignals® is part of ESG 2.0: Objective Direct Measurement and provides asset-level data which is more reliable than other approaches for sustainability assessment and disclosures that are largely non-standardized and based on approximation. We partner with leading computing services like Google Cloud Platform to bring innovative cloud-based solutions for companies and investors.
In 2019 , we went to market with an ESG-focused transition product, ESGSignals®. In 2021, we expanded ESGSignals® from 2 to 50+ geospatial data sources and created 100+ environmental, climate, and physical Risk Metrics per asset. A culmination of our product development and journey, ESGSignals® addressed fundamental gaps in the ESG and sustainability domain for objective, verifiable and independent data and metrics
To better understand operations and production for global factories and distribution centers was the next step
In 2012, we established FactorySignals which monitored trends and signals across production, raw materials usage and employment for global factories and Distribution Centers
It was a natural evolution as we expanded from understanding retail traffic dynamics to expanding to commercial real estate as a whole.
In 2011, through CRETrends we identified trends and signals for commercial real estate properties such as retail office, industrial spaces.
Our first big project where we measured the traffic to parking lots at leading locations
In 2010, TrafficSignals™ enabled the tracking of retail traffic data and signals for retail and restaurant chains
