Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, ESG management has attracted global attention as an essential management policy for sustainable corporate growth, and an increasing number of companies are working to implement it. Various disclosure systems have also been established around the world, requiring companies involved in activities within their region to disclose information in accordance with ESG (an acronym for Environment, Social, and Governance) standards. There are also ESG rating agencies that assess whether organizations are taking ESG into consideration in their activities. In this way, ESG is gaining attention, just like the SDGs. In addition to the aforementioned "ESG management," the term has also become widely used, including phrases that include ESG, such as "ESG investment," "ESG report," and "ESG analytics."

[0003] ESG-related disclosure information also includes non-financial information. Systems that focus on ESG information and quantify it for evaluation are also known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that evaluates corporate value by quantifying non-financial information. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-58857 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The conventional system illustrated in Patent Document 1 merely acquires an ESG rating or rating (hereinafter referred to as an "ESG rating") based on the overall perspectives of environment (E), society (S), and governance (G) assigned to a specific company by each rating agency, as well as scores for each perspective from an external source, and then displays the acquired ESG rating and score. While conventional systems can determine the ESG ratings and scores assigned by each rating agency to a specific company, they do not provide a more detailed breakdown of the ESG ratings and scores. In other words, conventional systems have the problem of not being able to determine the indicators used by each rating agency to evaluate each ESG perspective, the details of those indicators, the evaluations made based on those indicators, and the evaluation criteria. The disclosed technology aims to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program that solve the above-mentioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The information processing program according to the disclosed technology causes a computer to execute an evaluation information acquisition procedure for acquiring ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information on a user company by multiple evaluation agencies, from an evaluation information database, and a classification display procedure for displaying the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item that is common to the evaluation information by the multiple evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The information processing program related to the disclosed technology has the above-mentioned technical features, and when executed, it makes it possible to list the indicators used by each evaluation agency to evaluate each ESG perspective, details of those indicators, the evaluations made for those indicators, and the evaluation criteria.

[0009] Some important terms used in the present disclosure are defined as follows:

[0010] ESG Evaluation Items ESG evaluation items are defined as items related to ESG, and even if the descriptions of the items differ depending on the ESG evaluation organization, if there is a common concept or idea, the evaluation items that share that common concept or idea are considered to be the same item. ESG evaluation items include, for example, four items: ESG classification, code (number), major classification, and minor classification. The ESG classification for ESG evaluation items indicates whether each piece of data falls into the category of Environment, Social, or Governance, and letters such as "E," "S," and "G" are used to represent the ESG classification. The codes (numbers) in the ESG evaluation items are used to distinguish each subcategory, and a different code is assigned to each subcategory. These codes that distinguish between subcategories are also called "classification codes." The major and minor categories of ESG assessment items are written names that allow people to easily understand the content of the data representing ESG information. These major and minor categories are generalized or standardized versions of the ESG assessment items used by each ESG assessment organization. Examples of major categories include "general environment," "climate change," "water," "resource circulation," "biodiversity," "supplier (environment)," "environmental opportunities and impacts," "human rights," "labor practices," "diversity," "human resource development," "employee health and safety," "corporate citizenship," "product quality and product safety," "corporate governance," "risk management," and "information security and privacy." Examples of minor categories include "environmental management policy" under "general environment," and "climate change policy," "policy to address climate change," "policy to reduce energy consumption," and "carbon pricing" under "climate change."

[0011] <ESG evaluation information> In this specification, the term "ESG evaluation information" may include the following two types of information: One is the results of evaluations by each rating agency for each company, broken down by ESG evaluation item (hereinafter referred to as "Company-specific Evaluation Information"). The evaluation results by each rating agency included in the Company-specific Evaluation Information include, for example, whether the evaluation criteria adopted by each rating agency are met or not (hereinafter referred to as "satisfied / not met or not met"), and the ESG rating and score assigned by each rating agency (hereinafter simply referred to as "score"). The other is information indicating the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation institution in response to each ESG evaluation item (hereinafter referred to as "evaluation criteria information"). ESG evaluation information includes at least evaluation information for each company. The company-specific evaluation information and evaluation criteria information may be stored in the evaluation information data DB for each company in association with the corresponding ESG evaluation items.

[0012] Evaluation Agency Rating agencies are third-party organizations that evaluate companies' ESG initiatives. Specifically, rating agencies include the Dow Jones Sustainable Index (DJSI), FTSE, MSCI, Sustainalytics, CDP, etc. There are two types of evaluation methods used by rating agencies: the so-called questionnaire type, in which the rating agency interviews or surveys the target company, and the so-called arbitrary rating type, in which the rating agency evaluates without conducting interviews or surveys. DJSI and CDP use the so-called questionnaire type evaluation method, while FTSE, MSCI, and Sustainalytics use the so-called arbitrary rating type evaluation method.

[0013] <Disclosure Standards and Information> Disclosure standards are standards that stipulate the obligation to disclose ESG information through laws, regulations, or frameworks. Examples of disclosure standards include the GRI Standards and the ISSB (IFRS Foundation Sustainability Disclosure Standards). Disclosure standards are generally compiled as standards documents. The aforementioned evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation agency are formulated based on these disclosure standards, and the two are closely related. Disclosure standards information is electronic data of standards. Disclosure standards information for disclosure standards established by various laws and regulations or frameworks is made public on the Internet.

[0014] Embodiment 1 The disclosed technology can be realized as an information processing device 100. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing system according to the disclosed technique. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system is a system in which an information processing device 100 and a user terminal UT are connected via the Internet. 1 shows three user terminals UT, but the number of user terminals UT may be any number equal to or greater than 1. Also, in FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 and the user terminal UT are connected via the Internet, but this connection is not limited to the Internet and any telecommunications line may be used.

[0015] Information processing device 100 The information processing device 100 acquires ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information on user companies by multiple evaluation agencies, from the evaluation information database DB, and displays the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item that is common to the evaluation information by the multiple evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. The information processing device 100 includes an evaluation information acquisition unit 110 and a classification display unit 130. The information processing device 100 displays ESG evaluation information on a display (not shown) of a user terminal UT for each ESG evaluation item that is common to evaluation information from multiple evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. The information processing device 100 also includes an evaluation information database DB. Note that the configuration is not limited to this, and the evaluation information database DB may be provided in an external device that can be connected to and communicated with by the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 provides a user with a service according to the disclosed technology, that is, a service that displays ESG evaluations by multiple evaluation agencies using common ESG evaluation items (hereinafter referred to as an "ESG display service by evaluation agency"). In this specification, a company that serves as a user may also be referred to as a "user company." An employee belonging to a user company may also be referred to as a "user." The information processing device 100 is, for example, any computer such as a server or a terminal used by a user. Here, the ESG display service for each rating agency may be provided in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service), for example. In this case, the information processing device 100 is owned or managed by a provider of the ESG display service for each rating agency (hereinafter referred to as a "service provider"). In this specification, details will be given of a case where the information processing device 100 according to the disclosed technique is, for example, a server owned or managed by a service provider.

[0016] The information processing device 100 has an item table (not shown) in addition to the evaluation information database DB etc. The item table is a table in which each ESG evaluation item, the disclosure standards corresponding to those items, the evaluation standards of each evaluation organization corresponding to those items, and the importance of those items are described in association with each other. The item table is set in advance by the service provider and is stored in, for example, a storage unit (not shown) that the information processing device 100 can access. The ESG evaluation items are created, for example, by a service provider. The disclosure standards are created, for example, by a service provider by collecting disclosure standard information published on the Internet and analyzing the correspondence between each disclosure standard and the ESG evaluation items. The importance indicates the degree of importance given to each ESG evaluation item among multiple ESG evaluation items, and may be set, for example, by the service provider using a default calculation formula, or may be set by a user who receives the ESG display service by rating agency. The importance included in the item table is one of these that is set by default. Details of the importance will be described later. A user who receives the ESG display service by rating agency can access the information processing device 100, which is a server, from a user terminal UT via the Internet and view the data stored in the rating information database DB.

[0017] <Evaluation Information Database> The evaluation information database DB holds ESG evaluation information, which, as described above, includes company-specific evaluation information and evaluation criteria information. Of the ESG evaluation information, original information on the evaluations made by each evaluation institution for each company (hereinafter referred to as "original evaluation information"), which is necessary for creating company-specific evaluation information, is uploaded to the information processing device 100, for example, by a company, as a user having the original information, operating a user terminal UT. In other words, the original evaluation information is information indicating the evaluations made by each evaluation institution for each company before being classified by ESG evaluation item. The process of extracting the evaluations made by each evaluation institution in the original evaluation information by ESG evaluation item, that is, the process of extracting evaluation information by company (hereinafter referred to as "extraction process") may be performed manually or may be performed using machine learning technology by the information processing device 100. The procedure by which the information processing device 100 performs the extraction process is referred to as the "evaluation information extraction procedure." When machine learning technology is used, specifically, a trained model may be used that has been trained to separate the ratings made by each rating agency into ESG evaluation items when the original rating information is input. The trained model may be constructed using an artificial neural network or a large language model (LLM) such as a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT).

[0018] The prompts input to the large-scale language model include, for example, the original rating information itself or information specifying the original rating information, and information indicating ESG evaluation items itself or information specifying an item table. The information specifying the original rating information is, for example, information indicating the directory and file name of the original rating information when the original rating information is stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100. Similarly, the information specifying the item table is information indicating the directory and file name of the item table. Furthermore, the prompt contains instructions to extract corresponding sections from the original evaluation information, which are sections containing descriptions corresponding to the ESG evaluation items, and to extract evaluation results such as scores contained in the corresponding sections. Note that the processing based on these instructions may be performed multiple times using multiple types of prompts. For example, first, only the corresponding part is extracted using a prompt that describes only the instruction to extract the corresponding part, and then, the evaluation results, such as scores, included in the extracted corresponding part are extracted using a prompt that describes the instruction to extract the evaluation results. The prompt may also include an instruction to extract evaluation criteria information contained in the corresponding portion. Prompts can be automatically generated when a large-scale language model is used as the trained model. For example, prompt templates are set by a service provider and stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 performs the task of separating the ratings performed by each rating agency in the original rating information by ESG rating item, the information processing device 100 can automatically generate the above-described prompts by retrieving the templates from the storage unit and embedding necessary information, such as information specifying the original rating information.

[0019] The large-scale language model may be provided on an external server or may be included in the information processing device 100. For example, an existing large-scale language model provided as a service by an external server may be used. In this case, the information processing device 100 can input a prompt to the large-scale language model and obtain a response to the input from the large-scale language model through API (Application Programming Interface) cooperation.

[0020] The extraction process may be performed using a trained model, a rule-based algorithm, or entirely by hand, as described above. Alternatively, the extraction process may be performed semi-automatically, using a trained model such as the large-scale language model described above, and then finally confirmed by a human through visual inspection. Furthermore, among the ESG evaluation information, the evaluation criteria information may be extracted in association with the ESG evaluation items in the extraction process as described above and stored in the evaluation information database DB, or after the company-specific evaluation information is created, the evaluation criteria information may be created in association with the ESG evaluation items by referring to the item table and stored in the evaluation information database DB. This operation may be performed automatically by the information processing device 100 or may be performed manually.

[0021] Evaluation information acquisition unit 110 The evaluation information acquisition unit 110 acquires ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information on a user company by a plurality of evaluation agencies, from the evaluation information database DB. A user operates the user terminal UT to access the information processing device 100 and can display a screen for using the ESG display service by rating agency on a display (not shown) of the user terminal UT. For example, if the ESG display service by rating agency is provided in the form of SaaS, the screen is displayed on a browser. For example, a window for selecting display items is displayed on the screen. Specifically, the selectable display items are either the rating agency or the disclosure standard, or both. When a user operates the user terminal UT to select a display item, the user terminal UT transmits information indicating the selected display item to the information processing device 100, and the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 of the information processing device 100 acquires the display item transmitted from the user terminal UT. When the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 acquires the display items, it acquires ESG evaluation information based on evaluation institutions or disclosure standards that match the display items from the evaluation information database DB, and outputs the acquired ESG evaluation information to the classification display unit 130.

[0022] 《Classification display section 130》 The classification display unit 130 displays the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item that is common to the evaluation information from a plurality of evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. When the classification display unit 130 acquires the ESG evaluation information from the evaluation information acquisition unit 110, it generates display information for displaying the ESG evaluation information, and transmits the generated display information to the user terminal UT. When the user terminal UT acquires the display information from the classification display unit 130, it displays the ESG evaluation information on the display of the user terminal UT based on the acquired display information. That is, the classification display unit 130 transmits the ESG evaluation information of the selected evaluation institution or disclosure standard to the user terminal UT, thereby displaying the ESG evaluation information for at least some of the evaluation institutions or disclosure standards that match the display items, sorted by ESG evaluation item. The ESG evaluation information that the classification display unit 130 displays on the display of the user terminal UT is sorted by ESG evaluation item, in other words, by classification such as major classification or minor classification.

[0023] The number of rating agencies or disclosure criteria that a user can select as display items by operating the user terminal UT may be one or two or more. If the number of rating agencies or disclosure criteria that a user can select as display items is two or more, the user terminal UT, for example, displays a check box next to the display of the rating agency or disclosure criteria on the screen displaying the list, and displays an icon labeled "Add" in the lower right corner of the screen. The user can select multiple rating agencies or disclosure criteria by operating the user terminal UT and checking the check boxes next to any number of rating agencies or disclosure criteria of interest and pressing the icon labeled "Add." The user terminal UT generates selection information indicating the selected rating agencies or disclosure criteria and transmits it to the information processing device 100. The user can select display items at any time and any number of times by operating the user terminal UT. When two or more rating agencies or disclosure standards are selected, the ESG rating information for the selected rating agencies or disclosure standards can be displayed side by side on the user terminal UT, as will be described later.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as a result of classification display. Although Figure 2 only shows a layout with four rows, each row may be assigned a different ESG evaluation item, and as many rows as there are ESG evaluation items (for example, the number of subcategories) can be displayed. In the example of Figure 2, the first row is assigned the ESG evaluation items "Major Category: General Environment," "Subcategory: Environmental Management Policy," and "Code: E0101010." Each column in the layout is assigned a rating agency or disclosure standard selected as a display item. In the example of Figure 2, DJSI, FTSE, MSCI, Sustainalytics, and CDP are assigned as rating agencies selected as display items, and GRI and ISSB are assigned as disclosure standards selected as display items. As shown in Figure 2, the layout should also indicate the "importance" ("D" in the example in Figure 2) and "overlap" ("3 / 5" in the example in Figure 2) for each ESG evaluation item. Importance and overlap will be discussed later.

[0025] The layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT is not limited to the example shown in Figure 2, and can be set by the user as desired. For example, it may be possible to swap certain columns with other columns from the display shown in Figure 2, or to swap rows and columns. Furthermore, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT can be set with a specific axis (row or column) as a fixed axis. For example, if the disclosure standard that interests the user is GRI, the user can set the column to which GRI is assigned to be fixed. Here, "fixed" means that the rows or columns that make up the items related to a specific disclosure standard or rating organization remain displayed. For example, in Figure 2, if the column for "GRI," which is a disclosure standard, is fixed, the content to the left or right of that column will scroll when scrolling left or right, but the column itself will remain fixed and displayed. Also, for example, in Figure 2, if rows such as "No." and "Major Category" are fixed, the content below that row will scroll when scrolling up or down, but the row itself will remain fixed and displayed.

[0026] Thus, as a result of the classification display procedure ST130, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, i.e., the display screen of the ESG display service by rating agency, displays information classified in a matrix format, for example, with ESG evaluation items assigned to rows and rating agencies or disclosure standards assigned to columns. In this layout, when multiple ESG evaluation items are displayed, each ESG display item is assigned to a different row, as described above. Furthermore, when multiple rating agencies are selected by the user and rating information from multiple rating agencies is displayed in this layout, the rating information for each rating agency is assigned to a different column, as described above.

[0027] Furthermore, if the user selects multiple disclosure standards and multiple disclosure standards are displayed in this layout, each disclosure standard is allocated to a different column. In the layout shown in Figure 2, in the column to which each disclosure standard (e.g., "GRI" and "ISSB" in Figure 2) is allocated, for example, the corresponding item in the disclosure standard for a certain ESG evaluation item is displayed in the cell corresponding to the row to which the ESG evaluation item is allocated. The title of the corresponding item for each ESG evaluation item in the disclosure standard is displayed in the cell. In addition, in this layout, ESG evaluation information, including company-specific evaluation information (satisfactory / deficient applicability and score) and evaluation criteria information, is displayed in cells, which are areas specified by rows and columns.

[0028] FIG. 3 is a first enlarged view of a part of FIG. 2 showing an example of a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as a result of the classification display. As shown in FIG. 3, information on the evaluation performed by a rating agency is displayed in the column to which that rating agency is assigned. In the column to which that rating agency is assigned, for example, the score assigned by that rating agency for a certain ESG evaluation item may be displayed in the top position of the cell corresponding to the row to which that ESG evaluation item is assigned, as shown in FIG. 3. In the example of FIG. 3, "9.6 (Key Issue Management Score)" is displayed as the score of the evaluation performed by the rating agency, MSCI. Note that for ESG evaluation items for which no score is calculated (if not subject to score calculation), "Not Applicable" may be displayed in the top position of the corresponding cell. In addition, in the column to which the rating agency is assigned, for example, the rating agency's evaluation criteria for a certain ESG evaluation item may be displayed in the same cell as the score, following the score. In the example of Figure 3, "Environmental," "Carbon Emissions," and "Targets" are displayed as the evaluation criteria used by the rating agency MSCI in its evaluation. Furthermore, the score may be displayed in different ways depending on the category that the user company's score falls into, for example, by dividing the possible score range into multiple categories. For example, if the possible score range is 0 to 10, the score may be displayed in red if the user company's score is 3 or less, in yellow if it is greater than 3 but less than 8, and in green if it is 8 or more.

[0029] Furthermore, ESG evaluation information may be displayed according to the date selected by the user terminal UT. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, a date column is displayed to the right of the evaluation agency column displaying "MSCI," which is the evaluation agency. Here, evaluations by each evaluation agency for a certain user company may be performed, for example, at predetermined intervals. In other words, there may be multiple pieces of original evaluation information indicating an evaluation by a certain evaluation agency for a certain user company. The evaluation information database DB may store the date on which the original evaluation information was created or the date on which the information processing device 100 acquired the original evaluation information (for example, the date on which a user uploaded the original evaluation information). Hereinafter, these dates are referred to as "saved evaluation dates." For example, when the evaluation information database DB contains multiple pieces of original evaluation information indicating an evaluation by a certain evaluation agency for a certain user company, the date column is displayed to the right of the name of the evaluation agency. In addition, the date column may not be displayed if there is only one original evaluation information in the evaluation information database DB that indicates an evaluation by a single evaluation agency for a single user company, or only one saved evaluation date may be displayed in the date column. When a date field is displayed, the user may be able to input and specify an arbitrary date as the evaluation date in the date field by operating the user terminal UT. Hereinafter, the input evaluation date will be referred to as the "designated evaluation date." For example, by operating the user terminal UT and clicking a black inverted triangle mark in the date field to display a list or calendar of evaluation date candidates, and selecting an arbitrary date from the displayed list or calendar of evaluation date candidates, the selected date is designated as the designated evaluation date. The user terminal UT generates selection information including information indicating the selected designated evaluation date and evaluation institution, and transmits it to the information processing device 100. In a classification display procedure ST130 shown in FIG. 7, which will be described later, the information processing device 100 extracts ESG evaluation information from the evaluation information database DB for the evaluation institution identified based on the selection information, based on the designated evaluation date included in the selection information. In this case, the information processing device 100 may, for example, extract ESG evaluation information for a saved evaluation date closest to the designated evaluation date, or may extract ESG evaluation information for a saved evaluation date that is on or after the designated evaluation date and closest to the designated evaluation date, or may extract ESG evaluation information for a saved evaluation date that is before the designated evaluation date and closest to the designated evaluation date. In this case, the algorithm for extracting ESG evaluation information may be determined in advance by the service provider, stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100, and acquired by the information processing device 100 during the extraction.

[0030] Furthermore, in the column assigned to the rating agency, for example, the information on whether a certain ESG evaluation item is satisfied or not as determined by the rating agency can be displayed in different colors to allow the user company to easily distinguish between items that it satisfies and items that it does not satisfy. For example, the text in the cells of ESG evaluation items for which the user company satisfies the rating agency's evaluation criteria can be displayed in green, and the text in the cells of ESG evaluation items for which the user company does not satisfy the criteria can be displayed in red. In other words, in the column assigned to the rating agency, among the ESG evaluation items, items that have met the evaluation criteria and items that have not met the criteria can be displayed in different ways. In addition, if the satisfaction / deficiency is judged on three or more levels (for example, "satisfied," "slightly insufficient," "insufficient," etc.), the satisfaction / deficiency information for a certain ESG evaluation item judged by the evaluation agency in the column assigned to that evaluation agency may be displayed in a different format according to each level.

[0031] Furthermore, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT may display information on whether or not there is a shortage using different colors, and may also display an alert mark in the relevant cell or the top row of each column, etc., if there is a shortage. In addition, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT may have a function that allows the user to arbitrarily add an alert mark to a relevant cell or the top row of each column, for example, by clicking on the relevant cell to display the alert mark.

[0032] As mentioned above, there are two types of evaluation methods used by evaluation agencies: the so-called questionnaire type and the so-called arbitrary rating type. In order to accommodate these two different evaluation methods, the display screen of the ESG display service by evaluation agency may display differently for the questionnaire-type evaluation agency and the arbitrary rating-type evaluation agency.

[0033] Figure 4 shows the different display formats for rating agencies that use a discretionary rating method and rating agencies that use a questionnaire-based rating method. As mentioned above, Sustainalytics is a rating agency that uses a discretionary rating method, and in the column for that rating agency, a check box is displayed for each of the multiple items evaluated by each criterion for the discretionary rating. A checked check box for an item means that the evaluation criterion indicated for that item is met, and an unchecked check box means that the evaluation criterion indicated for that item is lacking. As mentioned above, CDP is an evaluation organization that uses a questionnaire-based evaluation method. In the column for that evaluation organization shown in Figure 4, only the text of the questionnaire question is listed, but in reality, the text of the answer to the question is also displayed.

[0034] The evaluation by the evaluation organization may be expressed either numerically or in natural language. The disclosed technology can handle evaluations expressed either numerically or in natural language. Specifically, in the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, when ESG evaluation information is categorized by ESG evaluation item and evaluation agency and displayed in a matrix, the information may be displayed in different cell display formats depending on the evaluation expression method used by each evaluation agency. The different cell display formats refer to, for example, a format that displays integers, a format that displays text, etc.

[0035] As mentioned above, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT indicates the "importance" ("D" in the example of Figure 2) and "overlap" ("3 / 5" in the example of Figure 2) for each ESG evaluation item. The importance level indicates how important each ESG evaluation item should be. The importance level is determined, for example, for each ESG evaluation item based on the overlap, i.e., the ratio between the number of rating agencies that consider that ESG evaluation item as the numerator and the number of all rating agencies as the denominator. For example, if the overlap level is 5 / 5, the importance level may be determined as "S," if the overlap level is 4 / 5, the importance level may be determined as "A," and if the overlap level is 3 / 5, the importance level may be determined as "B." The number of rating agencies may be the number of all rating agencies whose evaluation criteria information has been collected to provide the ESG display service by rating agency, or the number of rating agencies currently displayed on the display of the user terminal UT. The method for calculating the default importance and overlap for each ESG evaluation item is, for example, set in advance by the service provider, and is stored in association with the corresponding ESG evaluation item in, for example, a storage unit (not shown) accessible by the information processing device 100.

[0036] The importance determined based on overlap, as in the example above, is based on the number of rating agencies that take each ESG evaluation item into consideration, and can be considered an objective importance. On the other hand, some ESG evaluation items may be subjectively considered important by the user company. Therefore, for example, the user may be able to arbitrarily rewrite and define the display in the layout by operating the user terminal UT. Information about the importance rewritten by the user may be transmitted from the user terminal UT to the information processing device 100 and stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible by the information processing device 100 in association with information identifying the user company (e.g., a user company ID or user company name assigned when using the ESG display service by rating agency) and the corresponding ESG evaluation item. In this case, the classification display unit 130 may display the rewritten importance for the corresponding ESG evaluation item even when the next layout is displayed in a classification display procedure ST130 shown in FIG. 7 (described later). Furthermore, for example, the definition of the method for determining the importance may be set by the user. For example, by operating the user terminal UT, the user may be able to select whether to use the number of all rating agencies for which evaluation criteria information has been collected or the number of rating agencies currently displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as the number of rating agencies, or may be able to define the correspondence between the degree of overlap and each level of importance. Information regarding the definition of the determination method set by the user may be transmitted from the user terminal UT to the information processing device 100, linked to information identifying the user company and the corresponding ESG evaluation item, and stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible by the information processing device 100, and reflected in the next layout display.

[0037] The layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT can also change the display order based on this importance. For example, by operating the user terminal UT, the user can change the order of the rows in which the ESG evaluation items are displayed in order of increasing (or decreasing) importance with a single click. The layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT has a column that displays not only the importance (S, A, B) but also the duplication (number of hits / total number), because it is more convenient for the user to be able to recognize the default importance even if the importance is rewritten by the user. Furthermore, the user can customize the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, and can also hide rows or columns that the user wants to hide by performing an operation.

[0038] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a detailed explanation of the disclosure standards displayed as a pop-up. For example, in the column allocated to the disclosure criteria in the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, only the title of the disclosure criteria corresponding to each ESG evaluation item may be displayed in the row corresponding to that ESG evaluation item. In this case, the user can operate the user terminal UT to click on one of the items in the disclosure standards in the layout, for example, an item with the title "Indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions (Scope 2)," to pop up a window containing a detailed explanation. That is, in the column assigned to the disclosed technology in the layout, a hyperlink, icon, or button is displayed to pop up a detailed explanation of the item in the disclosure standards. This pop-up display may be performed by the user operating the user terminal UT to position the cursor on the display of one of the items in the disclosure standards in the layout. In this case, if the cursor is moved away from the display, the pop-up display will disappear. 1 In the example in Figure 5, for the disclosure standard item titled "Indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions (Scope 2)," in addition to bibliographic information such as the version, detailed explanations of the specific contents of the disclosure standard, such as "Disclosure Standard Requirements" and "Disclosure Standard Recommendations," are displayed. The association between each ESG evaluation item and each item in each disclosure standard, and the link between each item and its detailed explanation (setting of a hyperlink or the like) may be set in advance by the service provider, for example, and stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100. In this way, the information processing device 100, which has acquired information indicating that the above-mentioned operation has been performed from the user terminal UT, can acquire the detailed explanation from the storage unit and transmit it to the user terminal UT. Furthermore, for example, in a column allocated to disclosure criteria in a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, a row corresponding to each ESG evaluation item may display the title of the disclosure criteria corresponding to that ESG evaluation item followed by a detailed description of that disclosure criteria. As described above, for the evaluation criteria, for example, only the title, or the title and detailed description may be displayed at all times in the layout, or if only the title is displayed at all times in the layout, the detailed description (which may include the title) may be displayed in a pop-up window in addition. In the latter case, the detailed information of the evaluation criteria is displayed only in a pop-up window in addition. As described above, the disclosure criteria may be displayed on the display of the user terminal UT either together with the ESG evaluation information or as a pop-up in a separate window, or both.

[0039] As an explanation of the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, a form in which ESG evaluation information for one company, assumed to be the company itself (user company), is displayed in a matrix format has been shown, but the disclosed technology is not limited to this. The disclosed technology may have expanded functionality so that the display screen of the ESG display service by rating agency can also display ESG-related information for any company selected by the user (hereinafter referred to as a "benchmark company"). Here, ESG-related information means information obtained by collecting materials publicly disclosed by other companies (hereinafter referred to as "disclosed materials") and analyzing them according to ESG evaluation criteria, and is different from the ESG evaluation information of user companies.

[0040] FIG. 6 shows the display screen of the ESG display service by rating agency when the function is expanded to also display benchmark companies. Disclosure documents are documents in which each company reports on its own ESG practices. The disclosure materials include, for example, an integrated report, a corporate governance report, etc. The analysis of the disclosure materials is performed in advance by, for example, a service provider, and stored in a storage unit (not shown) that is accessible by the information processing device 100. For example, first, the information processing device 100 acquires electronic data of disclosure documents of multiple companies by periodically visiting the websites of multiple companies designated in advance by a service provider using a well-known technique known as crawling. The information processing device 100 associates the acquired electronic data of the companies' disclosure documents with information identifying the companies that have disclosed the data (hereinafter referred to as "company-specific information") and stores the data in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100. The company-specific information is the company name, etc., of the company that has disclosed the disclosure documents.

[0041] The electronic data of the disclosure materials stored in the storage unit is processed using, for example, machine learning technology so that it can be easily handled by the information processing device 100 according to the disclosed technology. Specifically, when the electronic data of the disclosure materials is input, a trained model may be used that has been trained to output, for each benchmark-corresponding portion, the content itself of the portion corresponding to one of the subcategories of the ESG evaluation items (hereinafter referred to as a "benchmark-corresponding portion") and a subcategories code that identifies the subcategories of the ESG evaluation items to which the benchmark-corresponding portion corresponds. A large-scale language model may be used as the trained model. When a large-scale language model is used as the trained model, for example, the information processing device 100 inputs electronic data of the disclosure materials stored in the storage unit into the large-scale language model. The prompt at this time may include, for example, the electronic data of the disclosure documents themselves or information specifying the electronic data of the disclosure documents, and information specifying the ESG evaluation items, and further includes an instruction to extract the benchmark-compatible parts. Alternatively, the instructions written in the prompt may include, for example, an instruction to extract the benchmark-corresponding portion and the location where it is written, an instruction to generate link destination information that generates a different link for each location where it is written and makes the location where it is written the transition destination, an instruction to generate information that links each link with each minor classification code (hereinafter referred to as "item link link information"), and instructions including specific link generation rules, etc. The location where it is written is the name of the disclosure document (document name), the page number where the benchmark-corresponding portion in the disclosure document is written, or the paragraph number on the page indicated by the page number (for example, a number indicating the paragraph from the top on the page), or the number of a figure or table, etc. In this case, the prompt to be input to the large-scale language model can also be automatically generated. For example, a prompt template is set by a service provider and stored in a storage unit (not shown) accessible to the information processing device 100. When processing the electronic data of the disclosure material, the information processing device 100 can automatically create the above-mentioned prompt by retrieving the template from the storage unit and embedding necessary information, such as information specifying the electronic data of the disclosure material. When the information processing device 100 receives output including corresponding parts corresponding to the sub-categories of ESG evaluation items from a trained model such as a large-scale language model, it links the output with company-specific information and stores it in the evaluation information database DB as ESG-related information. In this way, ESG-related information for multiple companies is stored in the evaluation information database DB, with each company's specific information linked to benchmark-compatible sections corresponding to the subcategories of ESG evaluation items in the disclosure documents disclosed by that company.

[0042] The processing of electronic data for disclosure documents may be performed using a trained model as described above, a so-called rule-based algorithm, or manually. Regardless of the processing method used, it is sufficient that the resulting ESG-related information is stored in the evaluation information database DB.

[0043] A screen for using the aforementioned rating agency-specific ESG display service displays, for example, a window for selecting the company name of a benchmark company. When a user operates the user terminal UT to select a company name, the user terminal UT transmits information indicating the selected company name to the information processing device 100, and the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 of the information processing device 100 acquires the company name transmitted from the user terminal UT. Upon acquiring the company name, the information processing device 100 acquires ESG-related information that matches the company name from the evaluation information database DB and outputs the acquired ESG-related information to the classification display unit 130. Upon acquiring the ESG-related information from the evaluation information acquisition unit 110, the classification display unit 130 generates display information for displaying the ESG rating information including the ESG-related information and transmits the generated display information to the user terminal UT.

[0044] In the example layout shown in FIG. 6, the column labeled "Other company ESG related information" displays ESG evaluation information for benchmark companies designated by the user. In the column of "ESG-related information of other companies," for example, the benchmark-corresponding portion of the benchmark company's disclosure documents for a certain ESG evaluation item is displayed in the cell corresponding to the row to which the ESG evaluation item is assigned. Note that if multiple benchmark companies are selected, the layout may display a column as described above for each benchmark company. Furthermore, in addition to the benchmark-corresponding sections, when the description locations are extracted and links and link destination information are generated, in the "Other Company ESG Related Information" column, in the cell corresponding to the row to which a certain ESG evaluation item is assigned, only the description location of the benchmark-corresponding section in the benchmark company's disclosure document for that ESG evaluation item is displayed, and a link may be added to the description location. The added link may be, for example, a hyperlink. In this case, for example, each benchmark-corresponding section is identified by a unique URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The user can operate the user terminal UT to make a selection, for example, by clicking on one of the above hyperlinks. When the user selects a hyperlink, the user terminal UT transmits information indicating that the hyperlink has been selected to the information processing device 100. The information includes a URL indicated by the selected hyperlink. When the information processing device 100 receives information indicating that the hyperlink has been selected from the user terminal UT, it obtains data on the benchmark-corresponding sections based on the URL included in the information, and transmits the obtained data on the benchmark-corresponding sections to the user terminal UT. The user terminal UT displays information indicating the benchmark-corresponding sections and the location where the benchmark-corresponding sections are written (such as page numbers).

[0045] Alternatively, the user can operate the user terminal UT to position the cursor on, for example, the hyperlink. When the user positions the cursor on a hyperlink, the user terminal UT transmits information indicating that the cursor is positioned on the hyperlink to the information processing device 100. The information includes a URL indicated by the hyperlink on which the cursor is positioned. When the information processing device 100 acquires information indicating that the cursor is positioned on the hyperlink from the user terminal UT, it acquires data on the benchmark-corresponding portion based on the URL included in the information, and transmits the acquired data on the benchmark-corresponding portion to the user terminal UT. The user terminal UT displays, for example, a pop-up display showing the benchmark-corresponding portion and information indicating the location of the corresponding portion (such as a page number). The pop-up display is placed on or near the hyperlink on which the cursor is positioned. This popup may contain the same link destination information as the hyperlink where the cursor is located. Well-known JavaScript (registered trademark) or similar technology may be used to embed link destination information in the popup. In this case, clicking on the popup causes the same process as selecting the hyperlink described above. When a pop-up display is made, the manner in which the content written in the benchmark corresponding section is displayed may be to display the entire page on which the corresponding section exists as an image, or to display the corresponding section as text. Additionally, the popup display disappears when the cursor is moved to a position other than the hyperlink.

[0046] 7 is a flowchart showing, as processing steps, an information processing method realized by executing an information processing program according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the information processing method realized by the information processing program includes an evaluation information acquisition step ST110 and a classification display step ST130. The numbers assigned to the respective processing steps correspond to the symbols of the entities that execute the processing steps. For example, the evaluation information acquisition step ST110 is executed by the evaluation information acquisition unit 110, and the classification and display step ST130 is executed by the classification and display unit 130.

[0047] When the information processing program according to the disclosed technique is executed, the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 executes an evaluation information acquisition procedure ST110, and then the classification display unit 130 executes a classification display procedure ST130.

The software and firmware are written as information processing programs and stored in the memory 240. The processing circuit realizes the functions of each unit by reading and executing the information processing programs stored in the memory 240. That is, the information processing device 100 includes the memory 240 for storing information processing programs that, when executed by the processing circuit, result in the execution of the evaluation information acquisition procedure ST110 and the classification display procedure ST130. These information processing programs can also be said to cause a computer to execute the procedures or methods of the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 and the classification display unit 130. Here, the memory 240 may be, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, or EPROM. The memory 240 may also include a disk such as a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a minidisk, or a DVD. Furthermore, the memory 240 may be in the form of a HDD or SSD.

[0051] As described above, the information processing program according to the present disclosure causes a computer to execute an evaluation information acquisition procedure ST110 for acquiring ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information on a user company by multiple evaluation agencies, from the evaluation information database DB, and a classification display procedure ST130 for displaying the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item that is common to the evaluation information by the multiple evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. The information processing program relating to the disclosed technology, which has such technical features, can be executed by a computer to display a list of the indicators used by each rating agency to evaluate each ESG perspective, details of those indicators, the evaluations made for those indicators, and the evaluation criteria.

[0052] In addition, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may, in the classification display procedure ST130, allocate ESG evaluation items to different rows in a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, allocate evaluation agencies to different columns in the layout, and display ESG evaluation information in a cell, which is an area specified by the rows and columns.

As a result, when the information processing program according to the disclosed technique is executed by a computer, it is possible to display a layout that allows the importance of each ESG evaluation item to be confirmed.

[0055] Furthermore, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may define the overlapping degree for each ESG evaluation item as the ratio between the number of evaluation agencies that take the ESG evaluation item into consideration as the numerator and the total number of multiple evaluation agencies as the denominator, and may display the overlapping degree associated with each ESG evaluation item together with the ESG evaluation information in the classification display procedure ST130. As a result, when the information processing program according to the disclosed technique is executed by a computer, it is possible to display in a layout that allows the degree of overlap for each ESG evaluation item to be confirmed.

[0056] In addition, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may define the overlapping degree as the ratio of the number of rating agencies that take the ESG evaluation item into consideration as the numerator to the total number of multiple rating agencies as the denominator for each ESG evaluation item, and determine the importance based on this overlapping degree. As a result, when the information processing program according to the disclosed technology is executed by a computer, it is possible to display in a layout that allows the importance of each ESG evaluation item determined by an objective method to be confirmed.

[0057] In addition, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may determine the importance by an objective method based on the degree of overlap in a default state. Furthermore, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may be configured so that the definition of the importance can be changed by settings from the user terminal UT. As a result, when the information processing program related to the disclosed technology is executed by a computer, it can display importance determined by an objective method by default, while also flexibly responding to the definition desired by the user.

[0058] Furthermore, in the classification and display step ST130, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may display the evaluation score for the ESG evaluation items performed by the evaluation organization at the top position of the corresponding cell, along with the ESG evaluation information.

[0060] Furthermore, the information processing program according to the present disclosure may display the ESG evaluation information of the user company alongside ESG-related information of other companies different from the user company in the classification and display step ST130. As a result, when the information processing program according to the disclosed technique is executed by a computer, it is possible to display a company's own ESG evaluation information in a layout that allows comparison with ESG-related information of other companies.

[0061] Furthermore, in the information processing program according to the disclosed technique, in the classification and display step ST130, the disclosure criteria may be displayed either together with the evaluation criteria or in a pop-up window in a separate window, or both. As a result, when the information processing program according to the disclosed technique is executed by a computer, it is possible to display the disclosure criteria in a manner that corresponds to the preferences of the user.

[0062] Furthermore, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may be capable of displaying the ESG evaluation information whether it is expressed as a numerical value or in natural language, in accordance with the evaluation expression method of each evaluation agency, in the classification and display step ST130. The information processing program according to the disclosed technology may display the ESG evaluation information as a numerical value or in natural language, and may change the display mode of the corresponding cell depending on whether the ESG evaluation information is displayed as a numerical value or in natural language. As a result, when the information processing program according to the present disclosure is executed by a computer, it is possible to display ESG evaluation information regardless of the evaluation expression method used by each evaluation agency.

[0063] Furthermore, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology may further cause a computer to execute an evaluation information extraction procedure for extracting ESG evaluation information by inputting into a large-scale language model the original evaluation information itself, which is the original information about the evaluation made by the evaluation agency to the user company, or information specifying the original evaluation information, information indicating the ESG evaluation items itself or information specifying an item table indicating the ESG evaluation items, and a prompt including a description of instructions for extracting corresponding parts corresponding to the ESG evaluation items from the original evaluation information. As a result, the information processing program according to the present disclosure can extract ESG evaluation information from the raw evaluation information when executed by a computer.
