[Solution] An information processing program according to the present disclosure causes a computer to execute the steps of: acquiring ESG evaluation information for a user company from a database; and performing a first display in which ESG evaluation information related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by one of a plurality of evaluation agencies, or at least one of the items of disclosure criteria related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by the one evaluation agency, is displayed for each item of the evaluation criterion adopted by the one evaluation agency; or performing a second display in which ESG evaluation information related to an item of a disclosure criterion among a plurality of disclosure criteria, or at least one of the items of disclosure criteria related to an item of the one disclosure criterion, is displayed for each item of the one disclosure criterion.

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 been attracting worldwide attention as a management policy essential for the sustainable growth of companies, and an increasing number of companies are working to introduce it. In addition, various disclosure systems have been formulated in countries and regions around the world that require companies involved in activities within the region to disclose information in accordance with disclosure standards from the perspective of ESG (an acronym for Environment, Social, and Governance). There are also ESG rating organizations that evaluate whether organizations are conducting activities that take ESG into consideration. In this way, ESG is gaining attention in the same way as the SDGs. In addition to the above-mentioned "ESG management," the term has become widely used in general, including phrases that include ESG, such as "ESG investment," "ESG report," and "ESG analytics."

[0003] Disclosure information related to ESG also includes non-financial information. Systems that focus on ESG information and evaluate it by quantifying it 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] JP 2023-58857 A 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 particular company by each evaluation agency, as well as the scores for each perspective from an external source, and then displays the acquired ESG rating and score. In conventional systems, it is possible to determine the ESG ratings and scores that each rating agency has assigned to a specific company, but it is not possible to determine a more detailed breakdown of the ESG ratings and scores. In other words, the conventional technology system had the problem of not being able to determine the indices used by each rating agency to evaluate each ESG perspective, the details of those indices, the evaluations made for those indices, and the evaluation criteria. The present disclosure provides 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 relating to the disclosed technology causes a computer to execute an evaluation information acquisition procedure for acquiring ESG evaluation information for a user company from a database in which ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information for companies based on a plurality of evaluation agencies and a plurality of disclosure standards, is stored, and an evaluation information display procedure for performing a first display in which the ESG evaluation information for the user company acquired in the evaluation information acquisition procedure, the ESG evaluation information related to an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency out of the plurality of evaluation agencies that evaluate the user company, or at least one of the items of the disclosure standards related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency, is displayed for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency, or a second display in which the ESG evaluation information for the user company acquired in the evaluation information acquisition procedure, the ESG evaluation information related to an item of one disclosure criterion out of the plurality of disclosure standards used in evaluating the user company, or at least one of the items of the disclosure standards related to the items of the one disclosure standard, is displayed for each item of the one disclosure criterion. Effect of the Invention

[0007] The information processing program related to the disclosed technology has the above-mentioned technical features, and when executed, 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] Several important terms used in this disclosure are defined as follows:

[0010] ESG Evaluation Items ESG evaluation items are items related to ESG that are defined as one and the same item, even if the evaluation items are described differently by each ESG evaluation agency, if there is a common concept or idea that is recognized. ESG evaluation items include, for example, four items: ESG classification, code (number), major classification, and minor classification. The ESG classification in ESG evaluation items indicates whether each data is classified as 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 the subcategories are also called "classification codes." The major and minor categories in the ESG evaluation items are expressed in letters so that people can easily understand what the data showing information on ESG is, and the names of these major and minor categories are generalized or standardized expressions of the ESG-related evaluation items used by each ESG evaluation organization. Examples of the 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 safety and health," "corporate citizenship," "product quality and product safety," "corporate governance," "risk management," and "information security and privacy." Examples of minor categories include "environmental management policy" as belonging to "general environment," and "climate change" as belonging to "policy to address climate change," "policy to reduce energy consumption," and "carbon pricing."

[0011] <ESG Evaluation Information> In this specification, the term "ESG evaluation information" may include the following two pieces of information: One is the results of evaluations by each evaluation agency for each company, broken down by ESG evaluation item (hereinafter referred to as "Company-specific Evaluation Information"). The evaluation results by each evaluation agency included in the Company-specific Evaluation Information include, for example, whether the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation agency are met or not (hereinafter referred to as "satisfied / not met or not"), and the ESG rating and score assigned by each evaluation agency (hereinafter referred to simply as "score"). The other is information indicating the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation agency for each ESG evaluation item (hereinafter referred to as "evaluation criteria information"). ESG evaluation information includes at least company-specific evaluation information. 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. FTSE, MSCI, and Sustainalytics use the so-called arbitrary rating type evaluation method.

[0013] Disclosure standards and disclosure standards 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. The disclosure standards information is electronic data of the standards. The disclosure standards information of the disclosure standards established by various laws, regulations or frameworks is made public on the Internet.

[0014] Embodiment 1 The present 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, in which an information processing device 100 and a user terminal UT are connected via the Internet, as shown in FIG. Although three user terminals UT are shown in Fig. 1, 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 electric communication 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 DB1, and displays the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item common to the evaluation information by the multiple evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. In the following explanation, for ease of understanding, the function of the information processing device 100 to display the ESG evaluation information for each ESG evaluation item and for each evaluation agency as described above is referred to as a basic function of the information processing device 100. Furthermore, when displaying the ESG evaluation information for the user company acquired from the evaluation information database DB1, the information processing device 100 can perform the following first display or second display. The first display is one in which the information processing device 100 displays, for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by one of a plurality of evaluation agencies that evaluate the user company, at least one of ESG evaluation information related to an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency, or items of disclosure criteria related to an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency. The second display is one in which the information processing device 100 displays, for each item of a disclosure standard, ESG evaluation information related to an item of one of a plurality of disclosure standards used in evaluating a user company, or at least one of the items of the disclosure standard related to the item of the one disclosure standard. In the following description, for ease of understanding, the function of the information processing device 100 to perform the first display or the second display as described above will be referred to as an auxiliary function of the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 includes an evaluation information acquisition unit 110, a classification display unit 130, a reception unit 150, a corresponding information acquisition unit 170, an evaluation information display unit 190, an evaluation information database DB1, and a corresponding information database DB2 as components for realizing the above-mentioned basic functions and auxiliary functions. In the following description, the basic functions of the information processing device 100 will be described first, and then the auxiliary functions of the information processing device 100 will be described.

[0016] <Basic functions> The information processing device 100 displays the ESG evaluation information on a display (not shown) of the user terminal UT for each ESG evaluation item common to the evaluation information by a plurality of evaluation agencies and for each evaluation agency. The information processing device 100 also includes an evaluation information database DB1. Note that the configuration is not limited to this, and the evaluation information database DB1 may be provided in an external device that can be connected to the information processing device 100 for communication. 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 serving 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 by 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 by 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.

[0017] The information processing device 100 has an item table (not shown) in addition to the above-mentioned evaluation information database DB1, etc. The item table is a table in which each ESG evaluation item, the disclosure criteria corresponding to those items, the evaluation criteria 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 a service provider, and is stored, for example, in a storage unit (not shown) that the information processing device 100 can access. The ESG evaluation items are, for example, created by a service provider. The disclosure standards are, for example, created 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 how important each ESG evaluation item is among multiple ESG evaluation items, and may be set by the service provider using a default calculation formula, or may be set by a user who receives the ESG display service by evaluation agency. The importance included in the item table is set by default among these. Details of the importance will be described later. A user who receives the rating agency-specific ESG display service can access the information processing device 100, which is a server, from a user terminal UT via the Internet and view data stored in the rating information database DB1.

[0018] 《Evaluation information database DB1》 The evaluation information database DB1 holds ESG evaluation information. As described above, the ESG evaluation information includes company evaluation information and evaluation criteria information. Of the ESG evaluation information, raw information on the evaluations made by each evaluation institution for each company (hereinafter referred to as "raw 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 raw information, operating a user terminal UT. In other words, the raw evaluation information is information indicating the evaluations made by each evaluation institution for each company before being classified according to ESG evaluation items. The process of extracting the evaluations performed by each evaluation agency 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 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, when the original evaluation information is input, a trained model that has been trained to separate the evaluations made by each evaluation agency into ESG evaluation items may be used. The trained model may be configured by an artificial neural network or may be a large language model (LLM) such as a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT).

[0019] The prompt input to the large-scale language model includes, 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 includes 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. The process based on these instructions may be performed in multiple steps using multiple types of prompts. For example, first, only the extraction of the corresponding part is performed using a prompt that describes only the instruction to extract the corresponding part, and then, the evaluation result such as a score included in the extracted corresponding part is extracted using a prompt that describes the instruction to extract the evaluation result. The prompt may also include an instruction to extract evaluation criteria information contained in the corresponding portion. Prompts in the case where a large-scale language model is used as the trained model can 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 the information processing device 100 performs an operation of classifying the evaluations performed by each evaluation organization in the original evaluation information according to ESG evaluation items, the information processing device 100 can automatically generate the above-mentioned prompt by acquiring the template from the above-mentioned storage unit and embedding necessary information such as information specifying the original evaluation information.

[0020] The large-scale language model may be provided in 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 through API (Application Programming Interface) linkage and obtain a response to the input from the large-scale language model.

[0021] The extraction process may be performed using a trained model, as described above, or a so-called rule-based algorithm, or may be performed entirely manually. The extraction process may also be performed as a semi-automated operation in which the extraction process is first performed using a trained model such as the large-scale language model described above, and then finally confirmed by a human 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 DB1, 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 DB1. This operation may be performed automatically by the information processing device 100 or may be performed manually.

[0022] Evaluation information acquisition unit 110 The evaluation information acquisition unit 110 acquires ESG evaluation information, which is evaluation information on user companies by a plurality of evaluation agencies, from the evaluation information database DB1. A user operates the user terminal UT to access the information processing device 100 and display a screen for using the ESG display service by rating agency on a display (not shown) of the user terminal UT. For example, when 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 evaluation organization or the disclosure criteria, 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 DB1, and outputs the acquired ESG evaluation information to the classification display unit 130.

[0023] 《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, the user terminal UT displays the ESG evaluation information on the above-mentioned 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 allowing the ESG evaluation information for at least a part of the evaluation institution or disclosure standard that matches the display item to be displayed by ESG evaluation item. The ESG evaluation information that the classification display unit 130 displays on the display of the user terminal UT is classified by ESG evaluation item, in other words, by classification such as major classification or minor classification.

[0024] The number of evaluation agencies or disclosure criteria that a user can select as a display item by operating the user terminal UT may be one or more than one. When the number of evaluation agencies or disclosure criteria that a user can select as a display item is two or more, the user terminal UT displays, for example, a check box next to the display of the evaluation agency or disclosure criteria on the screen on which the list is displayed, and displays an icon labeled "Add" in the lower right corner of the screen. The user can select multiple evaluation agencies or disclosure criteria by operating the user terminal UT and checking the check boxes next to any number of evaluation agencies or disclosure criteria of interest and pressing the icon labeled "Add". The user terminal UT generates selection information indicating the selected evaluation agency or disclosure criteria and transmits it to the information processing device 100. The user can select a display item any number of times at any time by operating the user terminal UT. When two or more rating agencies or disclosure standards are selected, as described below, the ESG rating information for the selected rating agencies or disclosure standards may be displayed side by side on the user terminal UT.

[0025] 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 Fig. 2 shows a layout with only four rows, for example, a different ESG evaluation item is assigned to each row, and as many rows as there are ESG evaluation items (for example, the number of subcategories) can be displayed. In the example of Fig. 2, the first row is assigned the ESG evaluation items "Major category: environment in general", "Subcategory: environmental management policy", and "Code: E0101010". Each column of 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. Additionally, as shown in Figure 2, the layout should indicate the “importance” (in the example of Figure 2, “D”) and “redundancy” (in the example of Figure 2, “3 / 5”) for each ESG evaluation item.

[0026] The layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 2, and can be set by the user as desired. For example, it may be possible to display a display in which a certain column is swapped with another column, or a display in which a matrix is ​​swapped, from the display as shown in Fig. 2. Furthermore, the layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT can set 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 as fixed. Here, "fixed" means that the rows or columns constituting the items related to a particular disclosure standard or rating organization continue to be displayed. For example, in FIG. 2, if the column of "GRI," which is a disclosure standard, is fixed, the contents to the left of that column or the contents to the right of that column will be scrolled by scrolling left and right, but the column itself will remain fixed and displayed. Also, in FIG. 2, for example, if the rows of "No.", "Major Category," etc. are fixed, the contents below that row will be scrolled by scrolling up and down, but the row itself will remain fixed and displayed.

[0027] In this way, 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, is one in which information is classified and displayed in a matrix shape, 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 from each other and displayed, as described above. Also, when multiple rating agencies are selected by the user and rating information by multiple rating agencies is displayed in this layout, the rating information for each rating agency is assigned to a different column from each other and displayed, as described above.

[0028] Furthermore, when a user selects multiple disclosure standards and multiple disclosure standards are displayed in this layout, each disclosure standard is assigned to a different column. In the layout shown in Fig. 2, in the column to which each disclosure standard (e.g., "GRI" and "ISSB" in Fig. 2) is assigned, 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 assigned. The title of the corresponding item in the disclosure standard for each ESG evaluation item is displayed in the cell. In addition, in this layout, ESG evaluation information including company-by-company evaluation information (satisfying / deficient and score) and evaluation criteria information is displayed in cells, which are areas specified by rows and columns.

[0029] FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 2, illustrating 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 the evaluation agency is displayed in the column to which the evaluation agency is assigned. In the column to which the evaluation agency is assigned, for example, the score given by the evaluation agency for a certain ESG evaluation item may be displayed at the top position of the cell corresponding to the row to which the 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 evaluation agency MSCI. Note that for ESG evaluation items for which no score is calculated (if the item is not subject to score calculation), "Not Applicable" may be displayed at 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 following the score in the same cell as 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. Also, for example, the possible range of scores may be divided into multiple ranges, and the scores may be displayed in different ways depending on which range the user company's score falls in. For example, if the possible range of scores 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 and less than 8, and in green if it is 8 or more.

[0030] In addition, the 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 in which "MSCI" is displayed as an evaluation agency. Here, evaluations by each evaluation agency for a certain user company may be performed, for example, at predetermined intervals. That is, there may be a plurality of original evaluation information indicating an evaluation by a certain evaluation agency for a certain user company. The evaluation information database DB1 may store the date on which the original evaluation information was created, or the date on which the original evaluation information was acquired by the information processing device 100 (for example, the date on which the user uploaded the original evaluation information). Hereinafter, these dates are referred to as "saved evaluation dates". For example, when there are a plurality of original evaluation information indicating an evaluation by a certain evaluation agency for a certain user company in the evaluation information database DB1, the date column is displayed to the right of the name of the evaluation agency. In addition, the date column does not need to be displayed if there is only one original evaluation information in the evaluation information database DB1 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 the 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 is referred to as a "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 described later, the information processing device 100 extracts ESG evaluation information from the evaluation information database DB1 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 extract, for example, 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 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 before the designated evaluation date and closest to the designated evaluation date. An algorithm for extracting ESG evaluation information in this case 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 above extraction.

[0031] In addition, 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 so that the user company can easily distinguish between items that it satisfies and items that it does not satisfy. For example, the text in the cell of the ESG evaluation item for which the user company satisfies the rating agency's evaluation criteria can be displayed in green, and the text in the cell of the ESG evaluation item for which the user company does not satisfy the evaluation criteria can be displayed in red. In other words, in the column assigned to the rating agency, among the ESG evaluation items, those that have met the evaluation criteria and those that have not can be displayed in different ways. In addition, when the satisfaction / deficiency is judged on a three or more scale (for example, "satisfied," "slightly insufficient," "insufficient," etc.), the satisfaction / deficiency information of a certain ESG evaluation item judged by the rating agency in the column assigned to that rating agency may be displayed in a different format according to each scale.

[0032] 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 in 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.

[0033] Auxiliary functions Next, the auxiliary functions of the information processing device 100 will be described. In the layout of the basic function shown in Figure 2, ESG evaluation items are displayed in the leftmost column in the horizontal direction of the layout, and in each column to the right of the ESG evaluation item, ESG evaluation information including company-specific evaluation information showing the evaluations made by each evaluation agency for the ESG evaluation item, and disclosure standards related to the ESG evaluation item are displayed. In other words, in the layout shown in Figure 2, starting from the ESG evaluation item displayed in the leftmost column, the ESG evaluation information and disclosure standards related to the ESG evaluation item are displayed in columns, i.e., by evaluation agency and disclosure standard, to the right. In contrast, in the layout illustrated in FIG. 2, the auxiliary function can display one of the evaluation criteria or one of the disclosure criteria in the leftmost column of the layout instead of the ESG evaluation items displayed in the leftmost column. In addition, the auxiliary function displays, starting from the multiple detailed items included in the evaluation criteria displayed in the leftmost column or the multiple detailed items included in the disclosure criteria displayed in the leftmost column, at least one of the ESG evaluation information related to the detailed items or the items of the disclosure criteria related to the detailed items in a line in the right direction. In this case, the auxiliary function can display at least one of the ESG evaluation information related to the detailed items or the items of the disclosure criteria related to the detailed items for at least one of the evaluation organizations or the disclosure criteria. In addition, in this case, the user can arbitrarily select one evaluation criterion or one disclosure criterion to be displayed in the leftmost column of the layout. In the following explanation, for the sake of simplicity, multiple detailed items included in a certain evaluation criterion will simply be referred to as "evaluation criterion items," and multiple detailed items included in a certain disclosure criterion will simply be referred to as "disclosure criterion items."

[0034] 4 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the auxiliary functions of the information processing device 100. Fig. 4 is based on the layout exemplified in Fig. 2. For example, the user can operate the user terminal UT to select "DJSI" as one evaluation agency from among multiple evaluation agencies displayed in the "evaluation agency" column in the layout, and display the column in which the "DJSI" is displayed at the left end of the layout (see the black arrow in FIG. 4). Also, the user can select "ISSB" as one disclosure standard from among multiple disclosure standards displayed in the "disclosure standard" column in the layout, and display the column in which the "ISSB" is displayed at the left end of the layout (see the gray arrow in FIG. 4). In other words, instead of the display mode starting from an ESG evaluation item as illustrated in FIG. 2, the user can use a mode in which, for example, starting from "DJSI" as an evaluation agency or "ISSB" as a disclosure standard, at least one of the items of the evaluation standard adopted by the "DJSI", or the ESG evaluation information related to the items of the disclosure standard "ISSB", or the items of the disclosure standard related to the items can be displayed side by side. The configurations that are particularly relevant as components for realizing the auxiliary functions of the information processing device 100 are, for example, the reception unit 150, the corresponding information acquisition unit 170, and the evaluation information display unit 190.

[0035] 《Reception Section 150》 The receiving unit 150 receives a selection of one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion from among a plurality of evaluation agencies and a plurality of disclosure criteria from the user terminal UT. For example, when the layout illustrated in Fig. 2 is displayed on the display of the user terminal UT, the user operates the user terminal UT to select one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion from among the multiple evaluation agencies and multiple disclosure criteria displayed in the layout. At this time, the user may select one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion by, for example, using a mouse, clicking on one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion in the layout illustrated in Fig. 2. Alternatively, the user may operate the user terminal UT to call up a selection window (not shown) on the display of the user terminal UT and select one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion by, for example, using a keyboard to input the name of one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion into the selection window. When a user selects an evaluation agency or a disclosure criterion, the user terminal UT generates information capable of identifying the selected evaluation agency or disclosure criterion (hereinafter referred to as "evaluation agency, etc. selection information") and transmits the generated evaluation agency, etc. selection information to the information processing device 100. The reception unit 150 of the information processing device 100 receives evaluation agency, etc. selection information transmitted from the user terminal UT. When the reception unit 150 receives the evaluation agency, etc. selection information transmitted from the user terminal UT, it outputs the received evaluation agency, etc. selection information to the evaluation information display unit 190. Furthermore, when the reception unit 150 receives the evaluation agency, etc. selection information transmitted from the user terminal UT, it outputs information indicating that the evaluation agency, etc. selection information has been received (hereinafter referred to as "selection reception information") to the corresponding information acquisition unit 170.

[0036] <<Correspondence information acquisition unit 170>> The corresponding information acquiring unit 170 acquires the selection acceptance information from the accepting unit 150. When the corresponding information acquiring unit 170 acquires the selection acceptance information from the accepting unit 150, the corresponding information acquiring unit 170 acquires the corresponding information from the corresponding information database DB2. When the corresponding information acquiring unit 170 acquires the corresponding information from the corresponding information database DB2, the corresponding information acquiring unit 170 outputs the acquired corresponding information to the evaluation information display unit 190. The correspondence information is information that pre-matches items with a common concept between the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by each of multiple evaluation agencies and each of multiple disclosure standards, and is information that shows the correspondence between items with a common concept between the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation agency and the items of each disclosure standard. In addition to the correspondence between the items in the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation institution and the items in each disclosure standard, the correspondence information may also indicate the correspondence between items with a common concept for ESG evaluation items. In the following explanation, for the sake of concreteness, it is assumed that the correspondence information indicates the correspondence between the items in the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation institution and the items in each disclosure standard, and also indicates the correspondence between items with a common concept for ESG evaluation items.

[0037] Here, "items with a common concept" refers to items such as the following: For example, if an item in a certain evaluation criterion and an item in a certain disclosure criterion are written in different ways, but the evaluation targets (evaluation contents) evaluated based on those items are deemed to have a certain degree of commonality, those items are called "items with a common concept." For example, suppose that "XX1", an item in an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation agency, and "YY1", an item in a certain disclosure standard, are both items used when evaluating the "environmental management policy" of a certain company, although they are written differently. In such a case, "XX1", an item in an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation agency, and "YY1", an item in a certain disclosure standard, are items with a common concept. For example, in the case of an ESG evaluation item, in the evaluation of the subcategory "Environmental Management Policy" represented by the subcategory code "E0101010", a certain evaluation agency applies "XX1", an item in the evaluation criteria adopted by that evaluation agency, and a certain disclosure standard applies "YY1", an item in the disclosure standard. In such a case, the ESG evaluation item "E0101010", item "XX1", and item "YY1" are items that have a common concept. In this way, correspondence information indicating items that have common concepts among the items in the evaluation criteria adopted by each evaluation institution, the items in each disclosure standard, and the ESG evaluation items is generated in advance, for example, by a service provider and stored in the correspondence information database DB2.

[0038] Evaluation information display unit 190 The evaluation information display unit 190 acquires evaluation agency selection information from the reception unit 150. In addition, the evaluation information display unit 190 acquires correspondence information from the correspondence information acquisition unit 170. The evaluation information display unit 190 acquires evaluation agency selection information from the reception unit 150 and corresponding information from the corresponding information acquisition unit 170, and then displays the ESG evaluation information acquired by the evaluation information acquisition unit 110 for the company to which the user belongs (user company) on the display of the user terminal UT as follows. For example, when the reception unit 150 receives the selection of an evaluation agency from the user terminal UT, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency, at least one of the ESG evaluation information for the user company acquired by the evaluation information acquisition unit 110, which is ESG evaluation information related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency, or the items of the disclosure criteria related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency. In this case, the evaluation information display unit 190 may display at least one of the ESG evaluation information related to an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by a certain evaluation agency or the items of the disclosure criteria related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the certain evaluation agency, for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the certain evaluation agency, and for at least one of the evaluation agency or the disclosure criteria. In the following description, this display is referred to as the “first display.” In the following description, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, in the first display, both the ESG evaluation information related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency and the items of the disclosure criteria related to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency, for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency, and for each evaluation agency and disclosure criteria.

[0039] In addition, when the reception unit 150 receives a selection of a disclosure criterion from the user terminal UT, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, for each item of the disclosure criterion, at least one of the ESG evaluation information for the user company acquired by the evaluation information acquisition unit 110, which is related to the item of the disclosure criterion, or the items of the disclosure criterion related to the item of the disclosure criterion. In this case, the evaluation information display unit 190 may display ESG evaluation information related to an item of a disclosure standard, or at least one of the items of the disclosure standard related to the item of the disclosure standard, for each item of the disclosure standard, and for at least one of the evaluation organization or the disclosure standard. In the following description, this display is referred to as the “second display.” In the following description, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, in the second display, both the ESG evaluation information related to one disclosure standard item and the disclosure standard items related to the one disclosure standard item, for each one disclosure standard item and for each evaluation institution and disclosure standard.

[0040] Specifically, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, in the first display, ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having items whose concepts are common to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency as ESG evaluation information related to items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency. Also, in the first display, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, in the first display, items of disclosure criteria having items whose concepts are common to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency as items of disclosure criteria related to items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency. Furthermore, in the second display, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, as ESG evaluation information related to an item of a certain disclosure standard, ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having an item whose concept is common to the item of the certain disclosure standard. Furthermore, in the second display, the evaluation information display unit 190 displays, as an item of the disclosure standard related to the item of the certain disclosure standard, an item of the disclosure standard having an item whose concept is common to the item of the certain disclosure standard. At this time, the evaluation information display unit 190 may specify, based on the corresponding information acquired by the corresponding information acquisition unit 170, the ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items to be displayed in the first display and the second display.

[0041] The evaluation information display unit 190 acquires evaluation agency selection information from the receiving unit 150, and upon acquiring corresponding information from the corresponding information acquisition unit 170, generates display information for performing the first display or the second display, and transmits the generated display information to the user terminal UT. When the user terminal UT acquires the display information from the evaluation information display unit 190, the user terminal UT performs a first display or a second display on the display of the user terminal UT based on the acquired display information. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as a result of display (second display) by the evaluation information display section 190. As shown in FIG. 5 shows an example in which the user has selected "ISSB" as one disclosure criterion. In this way, when the user has selected "ISSB" as one disclosure criterion, the position where the column for "ISSB" is displayed is fixed to the left end of the layout. In Fig. 5, ESG evaluation items are displayed in the column to the right of "ISSB" selected as one disclosure standard, but displaying these ESG evaluation items is not essential and may be omitted. In the following explanation, for the sake of concreteness, it is assumed that ESG evaluation items are also displayed in the first and second displays as shown in Fig. 5.

[0042] In addition, in FIG. 5, the ESG evaluation information for the user company is displayed for each item of "ISSB", which is one disclosure standard whose selection has been accepted by the accepting unit 150. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the disclosure standard "ISSB" has items "ISSB_S1_48" and "ISSB_S1_50_a". In FIG. 5, the item "ISSB_S1_48" is displayed in one cell in the row with the row number "40", and the item "ISSB_S1_50_a" is displayed in one cell in the row with the row number "41". In the row with the row number "40", the ESG evaluation item is displayed to the right of the cell with "ISSB_S1_48", and further to the right of that, the ESG evaluation information and the items of the disclosure standard are displayed for each evaluation organization and disclosure standard. Similarly, in the row with row number "41", ESG evaluation items are displayed to the right of the cell with "ISSB_S1_50_a", and ESG evaluation information is displayed for each evaluation institution and disclosure standard to the right of that. Note that in FIG. 5, only two rows with row numbers "40" and "41" are displayed, but in reality, rows with row numbers "42" and onwards continue below that, and the items of the disclosure standard "ISSB" are displayed in one cell for each row, and ESG evaluation items are displayed to the right of this cell, and further to the right of that, ESG evaluation information and items of the disclosure standard are displayed for each evaluation institution and disclosure standard. In other words, in the layout shown in FIG. 5, when the layout is viewed vertically, ESG evaluation information is displayed for each item of "ISSB", which is one disclosure standard selected by the user.

[0043] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as a result of display by the evaluation information display unit 190 (first display). 6 shows an example in which "MSCI" is selected by the user as one of the rating agencies. In this way, when "MSCI" is selected by the user as one of the rating agencies, the position where the column for "MSCI" is displayed is fixed to the left end of the layout. In addition, in FIG. 6, ESG evaluation information for the user company is displayed for each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by "MSCI", which is one evaluation agency whose selection was accepted by the accepting unit 150. Specifically, the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency "MSCI" has an item "Social, Privacy & Data Security, Practices" as an item, as shown in FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, the item "Social, Privacy & Data Security, Practices" is displayed in one cell in a row with the row number "39". In the row with the row number "39", the ESG evaluation item is displayed to the right of the cell with "Social, Privacy & Data Security, Practices", and further to the right of that, the ESG evaluation information and disclosure criteria items are displayed for each evaluation agency and disclosure criteria. In FIG. 6, details are displayed for only one row with row number "39", but in fact, the row below with row number "40" also displays the evaluation criteria adopted by "MSCI" in one cell. In addition, there are further rows below row number "40", and the evaluation criteria adopted by "MSCI" are displayed in one cell for each row, and ESG evaluation items are displayed to the right of this cell, and ESG evaluation information and disclosure criteria items are displayed for each evaluation institution and disclosure criteria to the right of that. In other words, even in the layout shown in FIG. 6, when viewed vertically, ESG evaluation information is displayed for each evaluation criterion adopted by "MSCI", which is the one evaluation criterion selected by the user.

[0044] In addition, in the layout of the second display illustrated in FIG. 5, when the layout is viewed horizontally, ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having items whose concept is common to the items of "ISSB," which is one disclosure criterion selected by the user, and items of disclosure criteria having items whose concept is common to the items of "ISSB," which is the one disclosure criterion, are displayed for each evaluation organization and disclosure criterion. Similarly, in the layout of the first display illustrated in Fig. 6, when the layout is viewed from left to right, ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having items whose concepts are common to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency "MSCI" selected by the user, and items of disclosure criteria having items whose concepts are common to the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency are displayed for each evaluation agency and disclosure criteria. This point will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 7.

[0045] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a schematic layout displayed on the display of the user terminal UT as a result of display (first display) by the evaluation information display unit 190. Fig. 7 shows an example in which "MSCI" has been selected by the user as one evaluation agency. In this way, when "MSCI" is selected by the user as one rating agency, the position where the column of "MSCI" is displayed is fixed to the left end of the layout. In FIG. 7, the rating criteria adopted by the rating agency "MSCI" has, for example, items "MSCI1" and "MSCI2". In FIG. 7, the item "MSCI1" is displayed in one cell in the row with the row number "1", and the item "MSCI2" is displayed in one cell in the row with the row number "2". Here, in the corresponding information acquired from the corresponding information database DB2 by the above-mentioned corresponding information acquisition unit 170, as items that share a common concept with the item "MSCI1", the ESG evaluation item "Environment in general; E0101010; Policy regarding environmental management", the ESG evaluation item "Climate change; E0201020; Policy regarding reduction of energy consumption", the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation organization "CDP", "C10.1.a", "C10.2.a", "C12.3.b", and "C12.3.c", and the items of the disclosure standard "GRI1", "GRI2", "GRI3", "GRI4", and "GRI5" are associated with each other. Therefore, in FIG. 7, when the layout is viewed from left to right, ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having "C10.1.a", "C10.2.a", "C12.3.b", and "C12.3.c", which are common in concept to "MSCI1", which is an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency "MSCI", and "GRI1", "GRI2", "GRI3", "GRI4", and "GRI5", which are items of the disclosure criteria "GRI", are displayed for each evaluation agency and disclosure criteria. Also, in FIG. 7, "Environment in general; E0101010; Policy regarding environmental management" and "Climate change; E0201020; Policy regarding reduction of energy consumption", which are ESG evaluation items common in concept to "MSCI1", which is an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency "MSCI", are displayed in the cell to the right of the item "MSCI1". In FIG. 7, for the sake of simplicity, only evaluation criteria information indicating the evaluation criteria items (e.g., "C10.1.a") is displayed as the ESG evaluation information, and company-specific evaluation information such as scores is omitted. However, in reality, company-specific evaluation information may be displayed together with the evaluation criteria information.

[0046] According to the correspondence information described above, there were two ESG evaluation items that shared a concept with the evaluation criteria item "MSCI1" adopted by the evaluation agency "MSCI," four items in the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency "CDP," and five items in the disclosure criteria "GRI." In this way, an item in an evaluation criterion adopted by one evaluation agency and an item that shares a concept with the one item but is adopted by another evaluation agency different from the one evaluation agency, or an item in a disclosure standard different from the one evaluation agency, do not necessarily correspond 1:1. Similarly, an item in an evaluation criterion adopted by one evaluation agency and an ESG evaluation item do not necessarily correspond 1:1. Therefore, in the layout shown in FIG. 7, when there is a plurality of ESG evaluation information including evaluation criteria information indicating evaluation criteria having items whose concept is common to items of evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution in the first display, the plurality of ESG evaluation information are displayed in the same cell. Also, in the layout shown in FIG. 7, when there are a plurality of disclosure criteria items having items whose concept is common to items of evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution in the first display, the plurality of items are displayed in the same cell. Also, in the layout shown in FIG. 7, when there are a plurality of ESG evaluation items whose concept is common to items of evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution in the first display, the plurality of ESG evaluation items are displayed in the same cell. For example, in the layout shown in Figure 7, in the column where ESG evaluation items are displayed, two items are displayed in the cell of row number "1": "Environment in general; E0101010; Policy regarding environmental management" and "Climate change; E0201020; Policy regarding reduction of energy consumption." In the column where the rating agency "CDP" is displayed, four pieces of ESG rating information including four pieces of rating criteria information, "C10.1.a," "C10.2.a," "C12.3.b," and "C12.3.c," are displayed in the cell of row number "1." In the column where the disclosure standard "GRI" is displayed, five items, "GRI1," "GRI2," "GRI3," "GRI4," and "GRI5," are displayed in the cell of row number "1."

[0047] Similarly, in the corresponding information acquired from the corresponding information database DB2 by the above-mentioned corresponding information acquisition unit 170, as items that share a common concept with the item "MSCI2", the ESG evaluation item "Environment in general; E0101010; Environmental management policy", the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation organization "CDP", "C12.3.b" and "C12.3.c", and the items of the disclosure standard "GRI1", "GRI2", and "GRI3" are associated with each other. Therefore, in the layout shown in Figure 7, in the column where ESG evaluation items are displayed, one item, "Environment in general; E0101010; Environmental management policy," is displayed in the cell of row number "2." In addition, in the column where the evaluation agency "CDP" is displayed, two pieces of ESG evaluation information including two pieces of evaluation criteria information, "C12.3.b" and "C12.3.c," are displayed in the cell of row number "2." In addition, in the column where the disclosure standard "GRI" is displayed, three items, "GRI1," "GRI2," and "GRI3," are displayed in the cell of row number "2." In this way, for example, if there are multiple items that share a common concept with one item in the evaluation criteria adopted by a single evaluation agency, the ESG evaluation information, disclosure standard items, and ESG evaluation items related to these items can be displayed in the same cell, allowing the user to easily grasp, for example, what the ESG evaluation information, disclosure standard items, and ESG evaluation items related to each item in the evaluation criteria adopted by "MSCI," which the user has selected as a single evaluation agency, are.

[0048] In addition, according to the correspondence information, it is assumed that there is no item having a common concept with the item of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation agency selected by the user in the evaluation criteria adopted by another evaluation agency and in the disclosure criteria different from the one evaluation agency. In such a case, the corresponding cell may be displayed as a blank, for example. For example, if an item having a common concept with "MSCI1", which is an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by "MSCI" selected by the user as one evaluation agency, does not exist in the evaluation criteria adopted by "FTSE", which is an evaluation agency different from "MSCI", the cell of row number "1" in the column displaying the evaluation agency "FTSE" may be displayed as blank. In other words, if there is no ESG evaluation information related to the item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the one evaluation agency selected by the user as a result of referring to the corresponding information, the evaluation information display unit 190 may display the cell corresponding to the ESG evaluation information as blank. In the above explanation, an example of displaying ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items related to items of evaluation criteria adopted by a certain evaluation institution has been described using a display example of the layout in the first display, but the evaluation information display unit 190 can similarly display ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items related to items of a certain disclosure standard in the display example of the layout in the second display.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, when ESG evaluation items are displayed in the layout, the user can operate the user terminal UT to press a specified button displayed in the cell in which the ESG evaluation item is displayed, thereby displaying on the display of the user terminal UT the disclosure standards adopted by the user's company (user company) for that ESG evaluation item. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the second display in which the disclosure standards adopted by a company with respect to ESG evaluation items are displayed on the display. For example, in the layout shown in FIG. 8, a button 801 labeled "View detailed information" is placed in a cell displaying the ESG evaluation item "Corporate governance; Independence of the board of directors; G0101030." The user operates the user terminal UT to press this button 801 labeled "View detailed information." When the user presses the button 801 labeled "View detailed information," the user terminal UT generates information indicating that the button 801 labeled "View detailed information" has been pressed for the ESG evaluation item (hereinafter referred to as "details button press information"), and transmits the generated details button press information to the information processing device 100. In the information processing device 100, the receiving unit 150 receives the details button pressing information. Upon receiving the details button pressing information, the receiving unit 150 outputs the received details button pressing information to the evaluation information display unit 190. The evaluation information display unit 190 acquires the details button press information from the reception unit 150. When the evaluation information display unit 190 acquires the details button press information from the reception unit 150, the evaluation information display unit 190 generates display information for displaying the disclosure criteria adopted by the company for the ESG evaluation item based on the details button press information, and transmits the generated display information to the user terminal UT.

[0050] In this case, the information processing device 100 may store in advance in a database (not shown) information that defines the correspondence between the ESG evaluation items and the disclosure standards adopted by the company for the ESG evaluation items. Then, when the evaluation information display unit 190 acquires the details button pressing information from the receiving unit 150, it may refer to the information stored in the database in advance, identify the disclosure standards adopted by the company for the ESG evaluation items, and generate the above-mentioned display information. This enables users to easily grasp what ESG evaluation items share a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation institution selected as a particular evaluation institution, or each item of the disclosure standards selected as a particular disclosure standard, and also enables users to easily grasp the disclosure standards adopted by their own company with respect to the ESG evaluation items in question. In the above explanation, an example of displaying the disclosure standards adopted by the company regarding ESG evaluation items was explained using a layout display example in the second display, but the evaluation information display unit 190 can also display the disclosure standards adopted by the company regarding ESG evaluation items in the layout display example in the first display.

[0051] In addition, the auxiliary function also realizes the following functions: For example, if a user selects "MSCI" as one of the rating agencies, as illustrated in Figure 7, the row with row number "1" in the layout displays "MSCI1," an item of the rating criteria adopted by "MSCI," and the row with row number "2" displays "MSCI2," an item of the rating criteria adopted by "MSCI." At this time, if the item "MSCI1" is an item that is applied when evaluating companies belonging to all industries, including the user company, the evaluation information display unit 190 will display the row with row number "1", i.e., the items of ESG evaluation information and disclosure standards related to the item, as shown in FIG. 7. However, if the item "MSCI1" is an item that is not applied when evaluating companies belonging to all industries, including the user company, but is an item that is applied when evaluating companies belonging to a specific industry, the row with row number "1", i.e., the items of ESG evaluation information and disclosure standards related to the item, may be hidden.

[0052] Similarly, for example, if the item "MSCI2" is an item that is applicable when evaluating companies belonging to all industries, including user companies, then as shown in Figure 7, the row with row number "2", i.e., the items of ESG evaluation information and disclosure standards related to the item, will be displayed. However, if the item "MSCI2" is an item that is not applicable when evaluating companies belonging to all industries, including user companies, but is an item that is applicable when evaluating companies belonging to a specific industry, then the row with row number "2", i.e., the items of ESG evaluation information and disclosure standards related to the item, may be hidden. The above-mentioned display mode is applicable not only to the first display exemplified in FIG. 7, but also to the second display. This allows the user to display ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items related to an item of an evaluation standard adopted by a selected evaluation agency or an item of a selected disclosure standard that is applied when evaluating companies in all industries, including the user company, for each evaluation agency and disclosure standard, and to limit the display to items that are assumed to be particularly important.

[0053] The evaluation information display unit 190 may determine which specific items are used when evaluating companies in all industries, for example, in the following manner. For example, the service provider assigns tag information indicating whether the items in the evaluation criteria adopted by each of the multiple evaluation organizations and the items in the multiple disclosure criteria are items used in evaluating companies in all industries, and stores the information indicating the items to which the tag information is assigned in a database (not shown).Then, the evaluation information display unit 190 may determine whether the items in the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation organization selected by the user or the items in the disclosure criteria selected by the user are items used in evaluating companies in all industries, based on the tag information assigned to the information indicating the items stored in the database.

[0054] In the above description, the evaluation information display unit 190 switches whether to display the ESG evaluation information and the disclosure standard items depending on whether the evaluation criteria items and the disclosure criteria items are items that are applied when evaluating companies belonging to all industries, including the user company. However, the above conditions are merely examples, and in the first display, the evaluation information display unit 190 may display, for each evaluation institution and each disclosure criterion, the ESG evaluation information and the disclosure standard items related to the items that meet a predetermined condition among the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution, while hiding the ESG evaluation information and the disclosure standard items related to the items that do not meet the predetermined condition. Similarly, in the second display, the evaluation information display unit 190 may display, for each item of a disclosure standard that meets a predetermined condition, the ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items related to that item for each item and for each evaluation organization and disclosure standard, while hiding the ESG evaluation information and disclosure standard items related to that item for items that do not meet the predetermined condition. In this case, the predetermined condition may be arbitrarily set by the user.

[0055] The auxiliary function has been described above. In the above description, an example has been described in which the reception unit 150 receives a selection of one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion from a plurality of evaluation agencies and a plurality of disclosure criteria from a user terminal UT. However, for example, the information processing device 100 may receive a selection of one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion from a user terminal UT in advance, and set the received one evaluation agency or one disclosure criterion in the evaluation information display unit 190 as a default for the reception result. In that case, the reception unit 150 may be omitted. Also, in the above description, an example has been described in which the corresponding information acquisition unit 170 acquires corresponding information from the corresponding information database DB2 prior to display by the evaluation information display unit 190. However, the information processing device 100 may, for example, acquire corresponding information from the corresponding information database DB2 in advance and set so that the acquired corresponding information can be referred to by the evaluation information display unit 190. In that case, the corresponding information acquisition unit 170 may be omitted.

[0056] In the above description, an example has been described in which the information processing device 100 first displays the layout illustrated in FIG. 2 on the display of the user terminal UT using the basic function, and then performs processing using the auxiliary function. However, the information processing device 100 may perform processing using the auxiliary function without displaying the layout using the basic function. In that case, the classification display unit 130 may be omitted.

The information processing program of the disclosed technology having such technical features can be executed by a computer to display a list of the indices used by each rating agency to evaluate each ESG perspective, details of those indices, the evaluations given to those indices, and the evaluation criteria. In addition, according to the conventional system exemplified in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, although a user can determine a company's ESG score and ESG rating by each of a plurality of evaluation agencies, the user cannot display at least one of the ESG evaluation information related to each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by a specific evaluation agency or each item of a specific disclosure criteria selected by the user. In other words, in the conventional system exemplified in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it was difficult for a user to display information starting from an item of a specific evaluation agency or an item of a specific disclosure criteria. In this regard, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology is executed by a computer, so that the user can display information starting from an item of a specific evaluation agency or an item of a specific disclosure criteria.

[0065] In addition, the information processing program related to the disclosed technology may, in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, in a first display, display ESG evaluation information related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation agency, or at least one of the items of the disclosure criteria related to the item of the evaluation criterion adopted by the certain evaluation agency, for each item of the evaluation criterion adopted by the certain evaluation agency, and for at least one of the evaluation agency or the disclosure criteria, and, in a second display, display ESG evaluation information related to an item of a certain disclosure criterion, or at least one of the items of the disclosure criteria related to the item of the certain disclosure criterion, for each item of the disclosure criterion, and for at least one of the evaluation agency or the disclosure criteria.

In this way, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology can be executed by a computer to display information that has a common concept with the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by a single evaluation agency in one cell. Also, the user can easily understand, by simply checking the contents of one cell, what information has a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by the evaluation agency selected as a single evaluation agency. In addition, the user can easily grasp, by simply checking the contents of one cell, what information is available that shares a common concept with each item of the disclosure criterion selected as a disclosure criterion.

[0070] Furthermore, the information processing program related to the disclosed technology may, in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, in a first display, display ESG evaluation items that are common to evaluation information by a plurality of evaluation agencies and that are related to items of an evaluation criterion adopted by a single evaluation agency, for each item of the evaluation criterion adopted by the single evaluation agency, and may, in a second display, display ESG evaluation items that are common to evaluation information based on a plurality of disclosure standards and that are related to items of a single disclosure criterion, for each item of the single disclosure criterion. As a result, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology can be executed by a computer to display ESG evaluation items that share a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation agency selected as one evaluation agency. Also, a user can easily grasp what ESG evaluation items share a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation agency selected as one evaluation agency.

[0071] Furthermore, in the information processing program related to the disclosed technology, in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, the first display and the second display are performed in a matrix format, and in the first display, if there are multiple ESG evaluation items that share a common concept with an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a single evaluation institution, the multiple ESG evaluation items are displayed in the same cell, and in the second display, if there are multiple ESG evaluation items that share a common concept with an item of a single disclosure criterion, the multiple ESG evaluation items are displayed in the same cell. As a result, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology can be executed by a computer to display ESG evaluation items that share a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation agency selected as one evaluation agency or each item of the disclosure criteria selected as one disclosure criteria. Also, a user can easily grasp what ESG evaluation items share a common concept with each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation agency selected as one evaluation agency or each item of the disclosure criteria selected as one disclosure criteria.

[0072] In addition, in the information processing program related to the present disclosed technology, in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, ESG evaluation items are displayed in the first display and the second display, and disclosure standards for the ESG evaluation items adopted by the user company may be displayed in response to an instruction from the user terminal UT. As a result, the information processing program according to the present disclosure technology can be executed by a computer to present the disclosure standards for ESG evaluation items adopted by the user company to the user, and the user can easily check the disclosure standards for ESG evaluation items adopted by the user company.

[0073] Furthermore, in the information processing program according to the present disclosure, in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, the first display and the second display may be in a matrix format, and in the first display, if ESG evaluation information related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation agency does not exist in an evaluation agency other than the certain evaluation agency, a cell corresponding to the non-existent ESG evaluation information is displayed blank, and if a disclosure standard related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation agency does not exist in a disclosure standard other than the certain evaluation agency, a cell corresponding to the item of the non-existent disclosure standard is displayed blank; and in the second display, if ESG evaluation information related to an item of a certain disclosure standard does not exist in an evaluation agency other than the certain disclosure standard, a cell corresponding to the non-existent ESG evaluation information is displayed blank, and if a disclosure standard related to an item of a certain disclosure standard does not exist in a disclosure standard other than the certain disclosure standard, a cell corresponding to the item of the non-existent disclosure standard is displayed blank. As a result, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology can be executed by a computer to present to a user in an easily understandable manner that there is no information related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation organization or that there is no information related to an item of a certain disclosure criterion. Also, the user can easily grasp that there is no information related to an item of an evaluation criterion adopted by a certain evaluation organization or that there is no information related to an item of a certain disclosure criterion.

[0074] Furthermore, in the information processing program according to the disclosed technology, in the evaluation information display step ST190, in the first display, for an item among the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution that meets a predetermined condition, ESG evaluation information related to that item, or an item of the disclosure criteria related to that item, or both ESG evaluation information related to that item and an item of the disclosure criteria related to that item are displayed, while for an item among the items of the evaluation criteria adopted by one evaluation institution that does not meet a predetermined condition, ESG evaluation information related to that item, or an item of the disclosure criteria related to that item, or ESG evaluation information related to that item is displayed. and in the second display, for an item of a disclosure standard that satisfies a specified condition, display both the ESG evaluation information related to that item, the items of the disclosure standard related to that item, or both the ESG evaluation information related to that item and the items of the disclosure standard related to that item, while for an item of a disclosure standard that does not satisfy the specified condition, display both the ESG evaluation information related to that item, the items of the disclosure standard related to that item, or both the ESG evaluation information related to that item and the items of the disclosure standard related to that item. As a result, the information processing program according to the present disclosure can control the display of information according to predetermined conditions by being executed by a computer.

[0075] In addition, in the information processing program according to the disclosed technology, the specified condition may be that the evaluation criteria items or disclosure criteria items are items used when evaluating companies in all industries. As a result, the information processing program according to the disclosed technology can be executed by a computer to control the display of ESG evaluation information based on whether the item is one that is used when evaluating companies in all industries, and the user can display ESG evaluation information limited to items that are considered to be of particularly high importance, such as those that are used when evaluating companies in all industries.

[0076] In addition, in the information processing program relating to the disclosed technology, each item of the evaluation criteria adopted by each of the multiple evaluation agencies and each item of the multiple disclosure criteria are assigned tag information indicating whether or not they are items used when evaluating companies in all industries, and in the evaluation information display procedure ST190, in the first display and the second display, it may be determined based on the tag information whether an item of the evaluation criteria adopted by an evaluation agency or an item of a disclosure criterion is an item used when evaluating companies in all industries.
