Actual Knowledge Base

The Actual Knowledge Base explains the key frameworks, standards, and policies that shape the larger ESG ecosystem. These resources remain up-to-date, and provide summaries and analysis in order to provide the best industry-specific insights. We created these resources after we found ourselves needing to develop deep understanding of the industries and ecosystems that intersect with climate and ESG work. We’ve researched standards organizations, developed an understanding of their detailed requirements, and learned about the legislative and policy landscapes in the US and around the world. Throughout this process, we created a detailed database of our learnings - this knowledge base. Our goal now is to share it with the larger climate, sustainability, and ESG communities. In order for us all to make progress on climate work, we have to have access to the resources and information that govern the environment in which we all operate. In this Knowledge Base, you will find analysis of international standards and disclosure requirements, government Requests for Information, litigation trackers, and more.
