”It’s simply not enough to talk about *how* a company does what it does. We need to talk about *what* the company does. If the core business is not future-proof, it doesn’t help that the reporting process or code of conduct is on point.” Upright Founder & CEO Annu Nieminen

Aaron Sibarium ESG ratings don't even try to measure how companies impact the world. We need to start looking at *actual* impact metrics measuring companies' core business impacts. We build this. See the science-based impact of Tesla, BAT & 10k others for free: uprightplatform.com/main/

Seriously - we have got to stop assuming ESG ratings tell anything about impact. They are not even designed to. We need to move to real impact metrics instead. On uprightplatform.com the difference between Tesla and BAT is crystal clear in Tesla’s favour: +42 % vs. -721 %.
