Our work
Quantifying Corporate Impact on Nature
At Universal Owner Initiatives, our core mission is to shed light on the systemic risks that corporations introduce into our natural ecosystems and financial markets. We operate at the intersection of finance, corporations, and government regulations, with a particular focus on climate change and biodiversity.
Our work is groundbreaking in that we generate new kinds of data that bring transparency to the often opaque activities of corporations. This data serves as a powerful tool for investors, policy-makers, and the public to hold corporations accountable for their actions.
We also write thought-leadership reports on issues we deem of suficent public interest and within our research project of understanding and quantifying real-world impact.
Uncovering Systemic Harms
We are committed to identifying and quantifying the most damaging activities that corporations engage in, which have long-lasting impacts on our planet and society. These include chemical pollution, deforestation, overfishing, and political lobbying.
Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technology
While our commitment to the environment and ethical practices drives us, it's our application of cutting-edge technology that sets us apart. We are tackling one of the most significant machine learning and natural language processing challenges: training an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to automate the recognition and analysis of a broad range of corporate impacts.
