Bulk Reports
Reports, formats, ordering and pricing.
What do I receive with Bulk Reports?
The original PDFs of the reports you picked, plus a metadata file with 50 fields per report, so you can sort and filter them.
How do I choose and order reports?
For up to 1,000 reports, use the Download Portal: filter by company, year, country, sector and more, then use instant, self-service checkout.
For more than 1,000 reports, or if you’d rather just send us a company list, request a quote and we’ll put the order together for you.
How much do reports cost?
PDFs cost $0.60 per report for up to 1,000 reports, $0.45 from 1,001 to 10,000, and $0.30 above 10,000. The rate for your order size applies to the whole order, and PDF + Markdown costs double. All prices are in USD. See the full pricing table.
Is there an academic or non-profit discount?
Yes, eligible academic and non-profit organisations get 30% off bulk reports. Read how the discount works. Coverage Assurance and custom work are shown separately in your quote.
ESG Packages
Package scope, definitions, availability and pricing.
What is an ESG package, and what will I receive?
A fixed set of datapoints taken from company reports, covering emissions, targets, climate, energy or the workforce. Each package page lists exactly what’s in it.
You get structured data in Excel, together with the original PDFs, all 50 metadata fields, evidence traces including page and source references, and support from our research team. By default it’s a one-off delivery. If you need updates throughout the year, have a look at the Enterprise Licence.
Will every company have data for every metric?
No. We can only extract what a company actually reports. Some companies don’t disclose certain metrics, and others report them on a different boundary.
We keep units and definitions as reported, so those differences stay visible instead of being hidden. When you compare companies, keep an eye on units, boundaries, populations and denominators.
Where can I find the metric definitions?
On each package’s own page, under “Detailed scope and definitions”. Open a metric group to see the definitions, units and distinctions such as location-based versus market-based emissions, headcount versus FTE, and which denominator an intensity uses.
How can I tell whether a value was reported or calculated?
Every value is marked as either taken straight from the report or calculated by us from reported figures. We only calculate when the inputs are compatible. If they’re missing or unclear, the field stays empty rather than being guessed.
Targets and disclosure assessments come with their source evidence. They’re not credibility scores, alignment ratings or compliance certificates.
How are ESG packages priced?
Custom pricing depends on your companies, reporting years and the type and number of packages you choose. An illustrative price for GHG Emissions + Targets is $2.50 per company, per reporting year, for 10,000 companies and one year. Prices for the other packages are on request, and your quote confirms the exact coverage and price.
Data Solutions
Custom projects, onboarding, extraction and delivery.
When should I choose Data Solutions?
When the standard packages don’t answer your question. If you need specific metrics, your own definitions or a particular sample, we build the dataset with you.
How is my dataset produced and delivered?
First we agree the research question, companies, years, datapoints and output format. Then we extract the data from the reports and check it.
You get the dataset in the agreed format, with the source PDFs and a reference for every value. We walk you through the delivery so you can review the results and start working with them.
How is a custom project priced?
The first call with our research team is free. We’ll tell you honestly whether the project can be done, and if it can, you get a non-binding quote before we start. The price depends on the scope, the number of metrics and how hard they are to extract.
Markdown files
Structured report files, delivery and pricing.
What are Markdown files?
Each report converted into plain text with its structure intact: headings, tables and labelled figures. Page markers show exactly which PDF page each part came from. They’re made for text analysis and AI workflows.
Why use Markdown instead of feeding PDFs directly to a model?
Depending on the tool, a PDF upload may use only extracted text and miss chart content, image-based text, table structure or footnotes. Our Markdown makes these elements explicit through vision OCR, typed figure descriptions, corrected tables and page references. It gives extraction jobs consistent, reusable input without parsing the PDF again each time. The original PDF stays available to check the source.
How are charts and tables processed?
Every page goes through vision OCR. Each figure then gets a second pass from a separate vision model that classifies and describes it, and tables get their own correction pass. Before delivery, every file is checked for structure and against its source PDF.
What is included with Markdown?
Always the original PDF and the 50-field metadata.
How are Markdown files priced?
Double the PDF price: $1.20 per report for up to 1,000 reports, $0.90 from 1,001 to 10,000, and $0.60 above 10,000, PDFs included. For now, you order Markdown through us rather than the Download Portal. See the full pricing table.
Coverage Assurance
Missing reports, remaining gaps and pricing.
What is Coverage Assurance, and when can I add it?
An optional add-on for one-off orders of 1,000 reports or more. We check your company list, years and report types against our database, then go looking elsewhere for the reports we’re missing.
What will I receive, and is every report guaranteed?
You get the reports we found, plus a status per company showing what’s covered and what’s still missing. We can’t guarantee every report: some companies simply don’t publish every year, and some reports can no longer be found online.
How is Coverage Assurance priced?
It depends on your list, but it’s usually 25 to 50% of the Bulk Reports price for the same order. We confirm the price before we start. See Coverage Assurance pricing.
Enterprise Licence
Frequent access, API connection, support and annual pricing.
When do I need an Enterprise Licence?
When your team needs reports for a fixed list of companies throughout the year, not just a one-off download. We keep that collection updated every week for as long as the licence runs.
What is included, and how do we get started?
All report types for the companies in your licence, updated weekly, as original PDFs with 50-field metadata. Alerts, API access, onboarding and priority support are included, and we put extra sourcing effort into your companies so new reports show up quickly.
To get started, send us your company list and we’ll set everything up with you.
What can the API do, and where are the technical details?
Your systems can search companies and reports, pull metadata and download the original PDFs, all within your licence. The technical details are on the API access page.
How are the licence scope and annual price agreed?
The annual fee is based on the number of companies in your licence. Before setup, your quote confirms the years, coverage, how you’ll access the data and any extra data work.
Why us
Our story, mission and the research behind our work.
When was SustainabilityReports.com founded?
We started in 2023 at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, as a research tool to help academics access corporate sustainability disclosures. The platform now serves researchers, investors, policymakers and the public around the world.
Where are you based?
We operate from the Netherlands and are registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. Our collection brings together company reports from across the world.
What is your mission?
To make sustainability disclosures and data accessible to everyone. We bring reports scattered across company websites into one searchable collection, helping people study, compare and understand corporate sustainability.
Individual reports remain freely accessible on our ad-free platform. Our premium services help fund that mission and lower barriers to sustainability research.
What makes your approach different?
Our work grew out of academic research. We focus on broad global coverage, clear report classification and data that can be traced back to its source. We also publish independent research on sustainability reporting and corporate disclosure.
In 2026, SustainabilityReports.com was selected as one of ten featured innovators at the United Nations Science, Technology and Innovation Forum, where our founder Dr. Kees Krul presented our work to expand access to sustainability data.
