UK start-up Compass Insights introduces a new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) platform
A new software platform, Compass Insights, has been launched to address the challenges of data management bottlenecks and limited transparency in stewardship outcomes. The brainchild of brothers Gustave Loriot-Boserup and Gaspard Loriot-Boserup, Compass Insights aims to transform the landscape of responsible investment and compliance management through automation, real-time insights, and semantic understanding.
AI-Powered Capabilities and Key Features
At its core, Compass Insights employs advanced AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) semantic search, automated compliance monitoring, and real-time analytics, all housed within a scalable, secure cloud infrastructure.
- Semantic Search Powered by NLP: Compass Insights' semantic search technology understands user intent rather than just keywords, enabling more accurate and meaningful content retrieval. This enhances the discovery of relevant standards and regulatory information efficiently.
- Automated Compliance Tracking with Real-Time Alerts: The system automates monitoring of regulatory and standards updates, generating real-time notifications about over 13,000 standards. This reduces regulatory risks and manual compliance effort for organizations.
- Enterprise-Grade Security and Scalability: Compass Insights supports tenant-level data isolation, role-based access control, and a serverless cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), ensuring secure and reliable operation at scale with low latency globally.
- Customizable Branding and Departmental Access: Organizations can tailor the user interface and access permissions per department or regulatory need, supporting enterprise adoption and diversified workflows.
- Data Integration and Real-Time Insights: Compass integrates with existing systems and supports real-time, structured data management, preventing data silos. This ensures decision-makers have up-to-date, actionable insights via dashboards and reports.
- AI-Enabled Analytics and ESG Reporting: Compass Insights supports ESG reporting aligned with global frameworks like BRSR, SASB, GRI, and TCFD, offering dashboards, fact sheets, and benchmarking insights powered by AI analytics for sustainable investment decisions.
- Purpose-Driven Decision Support: Through AI-driven data insights, Compass encourages long-term sustainable supply chain management and environmental impact reduction, such as circular economy approaches and plastic leakage prevention.
