✅ How to Vet AI ESG Insights

Before acting on any AI-sourced ESG claim:

1. Review official ESG reports for carbon reduction, renewable capacity, or impact metrics.

2. Confirm technical details like platform names (e.g., Earth-2, NextEra 360) and implementation timelines.

3. Separate results from projections to avoid hype-based decisions.

4. Cross-check with independent sources such as IEA reports or credible media coverage.

5. Test small before scaling your investment.

💡 Final Thought

Pairing AI with sustainability isn’t just about doing good - it’s about securing a future-proof investment thesis. Focus on companies with measurable results, validate every claim, and build positions with confidence.
