ESG Analytics

ESG Data Extraction Pipeline

NLP-driven extraction of sustainability indicators from heterogeneous corporate reports at scale.

About this project

Sustainable-finance analysts spent 60–80% of their time hunting ESG metrics across PDFs of vastly different shapes — annual reports, sustainability reports, regulatory filings — with no consistent terminology.

Solution

Built a document-understanding pipeline combining layout parsing, semantic chunking, and LLM-based extraction with strict schema enforcement and human-in-the-loop review for low-confidence rows.

Technology

  • Python
  • LangChain
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tesseract
  • GPT-4
  • FastAPI

Impact

Cut analyst extraction time by 75%, expanded coverage from ~150 to ~3,000 issuers, and provided audit trails per data point for compliance.
