Data that drives
change

The database spans millions of public and private companies, 195 countries, 85 industries and investment funds across key social and human capital dimensions. By linking multiple, publicly available sources, the data offers a standardized assessment of social sustainability globally.

Insights across key dimensions

Denominator delivers unmatched granularity across five human capital dimensions, enabling organizations to gain a holistic perspective. With coverage across millions of public and private companies is the most comprehensive dataset of its kind.

Leadership & Workforce Dynamics

Captures leadership  structures and influence as well as workforce composition and dynamics to highlight  organizational strengths, vulnerabilities, and long-term resilience.

Diversity

Measures representation, opportunity, and inclusion across all demographic groups within the organization to understand diversity and people-related initiatives and outcomes.

Health & Safety

Monitors an organization's actions and outcomes in protecting the physical health & safety of employees, contractors, and communities affected by operations.

Labor Practices

Evaluate fair employment  practices, working conditions, compensation, benefits, and compliance with labor laws and standards applicable to a company.

Human Rights

Tracks a company’s commitments and policies across operations and value chains, including but not limited to forced labor, wages, and human rights allegations.

Turning employee data into action

For a forward-looking view into workforce stability, Denominator monitors data such as retention, tenure, employee sentiment, compensation, career opportunities, and leadership approval. These metrics enable investors to detect risks, guide stewardship and voting strategies, and help companies benchmark against peers to strengthen operational efficiency and risks.
 
For example, when a stewardship lead noticed rising turnover trends across the portfolio, sustained engagement with company management encouraged corrective action. Gradually, the worst performers reduced turnover while leaders strengthened further.

Benchmarking leadership

For an overview of company composition, Denominator provides diversity data across gender, age, nationality, education, and disability. Investors and companies use these insights to benchmark representation, detect gaps, and align strategies with ESG requirements, supporting portfolio construction, stewardship, and regulatory compliance.  
 
As an illustration, a portfolio manager reviews gender diversity in public and private companies, focusing on board and executive teams. Applying a 30% threshold for women in leadership, they select qualifying firms to build a portfolio that aligns with responsible investment practices and meets client expectations.

From risk to resilience

For a comprehensive view of workforce well-being, Denominator tracks workplace policies, incident rates, and preventive measures across industries. These insights help investors benchmark performance, monitor risks, and engage companies in proactive risk management.  

In a recent case, an investor identified a company with injury rates (TRIR) above the industry average. The analysis supported stewardship discussions, prompting new safety policies and leading to a measurable reduction in incident rates over time.

Tracking workforce sustainability

Denominator’s  dataset covers wages, unionization, remote work, living wage commitments, worker rights, and grievance mechanisms. These indicators help investors assess portfolio risks, benchmark practices, and ensure compliance.
 
As an illustration, when a stewardship lead analyzed gender pay gaps across companies, the findings revealed disparities that guided engagement with management. As firms implemented corrective measures, pay equity improved, employee satisfaction strengthened, and workforce resilience grew.

Assessing human rights

Denominator’s dataset tracks human rights policies, risks, and allegations not only within a company’s direct operations and supply chain, but also across lower-tier suppliers. This visibility helps companies and investors evaluate due diligence, mitigate adverse impacts, and reduce legal, reputational, and financial risks.
 
As a case, when a sustainable supply chain manager reviews exposure to human rights risks across suppliers, the analysis highlights allegations ranging from forced labor to breaches of OECD and UNGC principles. These findings inform supplier engagement, stricter due diligence processes, and targeted actions to strengthen responsible sourcing practices.

Customized datasets

The database includes raw data, scores, and ratings, offering structured insights across leadership composition, organizational data, and supply chain risk. The database covers social and human capital components such as gender, race/ethnicity, age, disability, education at boards and executive teams, as well as policies, targets, ERGs etc.
