“With the news cycle churning so rapidly, it can be challenging to have a clear picture of how a particular topic is shaping the business landscape”

Enabled by Diligent’s Governance Analytics and Insights software solution, the tracker examines external comments and public statements made by leaders of approximately 7,500 public companies that are published in over 56,000 English-language sources. The Corporate Sentiment Tracker assesses whether the statement expresses a positive or negative sentiment, extracts key terms and identifies trending topics.

“Companies benefit greatly from having access to business intelligence and insights, but until now, they didn’t have a near real-time way to assess how corporate leaders feel about trending issues,” said Dottie Schindlinger, Executive Director of the Diligent Institute. “The Corporate Sentiment Tracker is a unique and valuable resource that will help corporate leaders, governance researchers and members of the media keep their finger on the pulse of what’s trending and how executives are reacting to emerging issues.”
