Impactalytics is for sustainable investors. But how do you know as an investor whether you are really realizing the impact claimed by the companies in your portfolio? Impactalytics provides insight by linking the SDGs to public claims by companies.

Challenge 
Public claims such as those found in annual reports or news articles are written in natural form. How can we scale these data points to a measurable SDG for thousands of public data points?

Solution

Invest more sustainably by analyzing annual reports

Hemisphere has partnered with Impactalytics to develop an AI model that can analyze thousands of annual reports and news articles to index all of a company’s SDG claims. Hemisphere has chosen to use a language model that is trained to understand whole sentences in addition to words. Ultimately, the solution was able to label the correct impact claims for the 17 SDGs and 169 associated goals in 85% of the cases. The solution works on any annual report in any language.

Level 4

AI optimization & implementation

AI is never a standalone solution. It requires a lot of fine-tuning and creating the right conditions to successfully land a Machine Learning model in an organization. Hemisphere knows what it takes to take these models to the next level. 

There are dozens of reasons why a model does not make it to implementation. Quality of (input) data, availability & costs of sufficient computing power and management are all well-known examples.

Hemisphere works with you to see what is needed to get more out of your AI solution. You can contact us from cleaning data and setting up HPC instances to offering customized Machine Learning SLAs.

Level 3

New AI model design

A costly hick-up in your process and do you have the feeling that only an AI solution can answer this? 

Hemisphere closely follows global AI development. This gives us a good idea of what is possible today. We have mastered various AI techniques on a broad level.

As a result, in most cases up to 80% of the final solution can be achieved in a design sprint of 2 weeks.

Level 2

Data engineering

The shift to cloud services offers organizations the opportunity to simplify their data processing. Companies that currently rely on batch processing can now implement continuous processing methods without disrupting their current processes. Rather than expensive rip-and-replace, the implementation can be incremental and evolutionary. 

By following the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) methodology, data is processed and passed on in a qualitative and safe manner. This reduces the chance of errors in the data and provides the management team with the right data to base their decisions on.

Level 1

Data research

Data contains rich and often real-time information for a wealth of applications. By analyzing the large influx of customer contacts (anonymously), you are able to gain almost real-time insight into customer needs. Based on these insights, it is also possible to hyper personalize the offer. 

Hemisphere helps you make analyzes to understand the different trends and opportunities at the micro level. By responding to this, you exceed customer expectations and gain trust.
