Liberating ESG Data from Monopolies with Dataland

The Challenge Dataland was built on a bold premise: that critical sustainability data (EU Taxonomy, SFDR, LkSG) should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind the expensive paywalls of legacy data monopolies. To build a comprehensive open ecosystem, they needed to aggregate data from multiple specialized sources. A critical piece of this puzzle was the ability to ingest and verify thousands of corporate sustainability disclosures without the restrictive licensing terms that usually prevent data redistribution.

The Solution FinancialReports integrates as a key document provider within Dataland’s multi-source architecture.

1. Unrestricted Access: We provide a flexible API feed of "Sustainability Reports" and "Non-Financial Statements" that fills critical coverage gaps. Unlike legacy vendors, our licensing model supports Dataland's mission to democratize data access.
2. Taxonomy-Ready Data: Dataland leverages our document feed to help map complex frameworks like the EU Taxonomy. Our precise classification ensures their extraction engines receive the correct source files, complementing data streams from their other partners.
3. Traceability: For the data points sourced from our feed, Dataland can link directly back to the original PDF hosted on our platform. This adds a layer of auditability and transparency that is essential for their "evidence-based" approach.

The Result By incorporating FinancialReports as a core data supplier, Dataland successfully launched a robust, transparent platform for ESG data. They can now combine our document stream with other data sources to spin up new campaigns—covering everything from Carbon Emissions (PCAF) to Social Risks—ensuring their users have a complete and verifiable picture of corporate sustainability.
