What Publicly Available Reports Does Datamaran track?
Datamaran analyses publicly available corporate reports to surface ESG insights across thousands of companies worldwide. Understanding which report types are tracked — and how they are tagged in the database — helps you get the most out of search and benchmarking features.
Report Types in Datamaran's Database
Datamaran categorises reports into three groups:
1. Financial Reports
These include a significant amount of financial information, such as financial statements, management discussions, and forward-looking statements.
- Some companies publish a single document containing both financial and non-financial information; these are known as Integrated Reports and are also classified as Financial Reports.
- Reports that comply with the CSRD regulation and contain both financial and non-financial information are likewise classified as Financial Reports.
2. Non-Financial Reports (or Sustainability Reports)
These include substantial information on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, as well as the results of related initiatives and future plans.
- Reports that include only a sustainability statement, following the recommendations of the CSRD, are also classified as Sustainability Reports.
3. SEC Filings (10-K)
These are detailed financial statements and related information that US-listed companies are required to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
How We Tag Report Years in Our Database
Each report in our database is tagged with a year based on its Financial/Fiscal Year (FY) — specifically, when that fiscal year ends. This may differ from the report's publication year or the year shown in its title.
The tagging rule is as follows:
- If the fiscal year ends on or before 30 June, the report is tagged with the same year as the end date.
- If the fiscal year ends after 30 June, the report is tagged with the following year.
Examples:
Fiscal Year End Date |
Tagged Year |
|---|---|
| 29 March 2025 | 2025 |
| 30 June 2025 | 2025 |
| 1 July 2025 | 2026 |
| 31 October 2024 | 2025 |
| 31 December 2025 | 2026 |
Note: A report with "2024" in its title may be tagged as 2025 in Datamaran if its fiscal year ended after 30 June 2024. Always refer to the tagged year when filtering or comparing reports across companies.
