Today, with its version 3.0 platform, Causality Link demonstrates an alert system that leverages these real-time detections to provide each user with a customized view of worldwide ESG events potentially impacting companies or industries of interest. As the first solution to employ natural language processing (NLP) to create real-time causal analysis, the Causality Link platform has pioneered the technology to identify the impact of sustainability factors and their causal interactions with fundamental business factors.
“The solution is leading the next wave of AI innovation that leverages technology to combine human knowledge from thousands of authors,” said Matthieu Keip, Innovation Lead for Amundi Technology.

We’re excited to be able to deliver these capabilities to Amundi and its customers.”
