Company and fund coverage

Net impact

• In fall of 2024, Upright is focused on a longer Net impact development project with the goal of radically improving results quality and transparency. The results of the development project will be released later on.

CSRD double materiality assessment

• Upright’s Generalized Impact Statement Extractor — a tool based on large language models (LLMs) for analyzing scientific articles and identifying science-based impacts of products and services — has been further fine-tuned, leading to improved accuracy, particularly in ESRS sustainability matters related to affected communities, consumers and end-users, and business conduct.

• The Materiality Matrix and Summary tabs will be added to the funds view on the Upright platform early October, complementing the existing impact materiality and financial materiality tabs.
