This year, marked a defining year for Denominator’s growth and global reach, becoming a global reference for social and human capital data.
Each milestone reflected a clear direction: supporting data-driven decisions on people, risk, and long-term value through structured, comparable data.
Let’s look at some of the numbers and achievements that defined our journey over the past year:
Expanding the scope of human capital data
The acquisition of Equileap marked a strategic step toward a new global benchmark for human capital data.
By acquiring Equileap, coverage across diversity, equity, and workplace data expanded significantly. Together, the combined datasets now offer more than 1,800 unique data points, spanning employee turnover and sentiment, labor practices, human rights allegations, governance bodies, leadership structures, organizational design, and workforce demographics. This depth delivers a level of transparency that allows stakeholders to better understand how companies manage people in practice.
Together, the two companies are significantly expanding their ability to deliver transparent and actionable insights for investors and corporations globally, now serving over 50% of the world’s 20 largest asset managers based on AUM.
As human capital is increasingly recognized as material to financial performance, access to structured and comparable data gives investors and companies a clearer view of how workforce practices influence long-term value creation and resilience.
With this step, Denominator consolidated its position as a one-stop shop for human capital data.
The acquisition received broad coverage across leading financial and ESG media, including Responsible Investor, ESG Today, Institutional Asset Manager, and KnowESG.
Reaching 10 million companies worldwide
In 2025, Denominator’s database reached coverage of 10 million companies globally.
This milestone consolidated Denominator’s position as the global leader in social and human capital data. Coverage spans both public and private companies, supporting a wide range of use cases including investment research, benchmarking, and corporate assessment.
From 5 million companies at the beginning of 2025 to 10 million by year end, the database doubled in size in 2025, reflecting Denominator’s capacity to scale high-quality data at pace.
Shaping global company rankings
Denominator acted as data provider for five major international company rankings during 2025.
These rankings included publications by Forbes, the Financial Times, Il Sole 24 Ore, Børsen, and futur/io. Each collaboration highlighted the growing role of social and human capital metrics in how corporate performance is evaluated and communicated globally.
As expectations around transparency increase, structured social data is becoming a core input into public assessments.
A strong presence across media and global events
Throughout 2025, Denominator increased its visibility across media, conferences, and international forums.
Denominator was featured 18 times in leading financial and ESG media, participated in 13 speaking engagements across North America, Europe, and Asia, and attended 32 events in 10 countries.
Some key events and speaking engagements include:
- World Economic Forum in Davos
- UNGA (United Nations General Assembly)
- Responsible Investor Asia
- Climate Week at NYC
- PRI in Sao Paulo

These engagements contributed to a global understanding on the materiality of social and human capital data for long-term value creation.

Turning data into shared social impact
Social impact remained a practical and collective effort throughout the year.

The initiative connected teams globally while supporting community-based sport and inclusion.
Together with RMRC, we helped set up their very first Kid Marathon, bringing over 160 children to the start line for a memorable run.
The people behind the progress
Every milestone in 2025 was driven by people.

As Denominator looks ahead, the focus remains consistent: advancing social and human capital data that supports accountability, transparency, and long-term value creation.
People are the common denominator.
