Company mission
Util's mission is to objectively quantify company impact to change the way the world invests
Our take
Util is a financial technology company, which uses machine learning to measure the degree to which every listed company affects critical social and environmental issues present in the world. Providing sustainable strategies is at the core of its business proposition.
Util is being built at the right time considering the macro trends since the pandemic. Businesses across the globe are taking steps towards greater sustainability and Util provides a strategic measurement tool that can help quantify those initiatives. Even better it provides the same insight to the public to give them a chance to align their personal values to their business decisions.
Util’s portfolio currently captures an impressive 50,000 listed companies—of every size, region, and sector— and how their initiatives affect the 17 United Nations SDGs and other sustainability concepts. All these hasn't gone without notice and the Util has managed to bag significant funding from investors to enable the company keep expanding its product and grow its US presence.
