The partnership combines QED Consulting’s decades of deep domain expertise in ethical benchmarking with ESG.ai’s cutting-edge analytical technology and issuer insights. The primary objective of the JV is to streamline and modernize the Global Ethics & Integrity Benchmarks (GEIB) methodology. —a framework trusted by thousands of organizations, including the United Nations—into a sophisticated, data-driven digital ecosystem.

Our mission at ESG.ai is to make complex data actionable, and there is no data more critical to an organization’s long-term sustainability than its ethical foundation. Together, we are setting a new standard for global integrity.” — Nicholas Miller, CEO of ESG.ai
