Solution
ESG Data & Solutions built its ESGSure research platform on MongoDB to manage the constantly changing mix of ESG reports, filings, news, questionnaires, videos, PDFs, and API feeds used by investors and banks. The company first broke away from rigid relational systems with MongoDB Community Edition, then moved the SaaS platform to MongoDB Atlas on AWS so it could scale elastically across regions and client deployment models. Atlas stores diverse operational records and time-stamped ESG data, while MongoDB Atlas Vector Search retrieves relevant passages and datasets for hybrid text and vector queries that feed LLM workflows such as Anthropic's Claude. Dedicated search nodes and direct vectorization inside MongoDB remove the ETL burden of separate vector databases, and Atlas's multi-cloud, client-specific cluster options help ESGDS satisfy GDPR and other regulated-environment requirements while keeping data near real time.
Data flow
Annual reports, filings, news, questionnaires, sanctions lists, PDFs, videos, and API data flow into MongoDB Atlas, where ESGSure stores and vectorizes the records; MongoDB Atlas Vector Search retrieves relevant datasets and passages, which are then passed to LLM workflows such as Anthropic Claude to generate investor-ready insights.
