Util is a developer of sustainability intelligence technology that provides investors with an objective, evidence-based view of a company's impact.

This data is transformed into a dollar-based annual value generated metric, allowing responsible investors to evaluate both financial and non-financial returns on investment. The company goes beyond traditional ESG metrics to present a comprehensive assessment of companies as complex value generators. Util's methodology covers all listed securities and is designed for investment managers seeking unique analysis that parallels conventional financial reporting. Currently, Util is collaborating with two investment manager partners that collectively manage $130 billion in assets to refine its products and methodologies, aiming to enhance the integration of sustainability in investment decision-making.
