[Benchmark module]
The Targets feature gives business leaders a data-backed view of peers and competitors that have set time-bound and measurable targets across 100 ESG topics.
Based on public disclosures, Datamaran:
-
Aggregates and ranks these measurable targets.

Aligns results with industry best practices and international framework requirements.
This information helps company leaders shape their own strategic ESG targets with greater confidence.
