Abstract
This white paper exposes the gap between sustainability talk and true value creation. Discover why most disclosures overwhelm rather than inform, and how to fix it. Prof Verousis introduces a ChatGPT-powered tool that scans annual reports for real ESG integration. It tests claims against six value-linked pillars: strategy, risk, opportunity, valuation, governance, and disclosure. The result? A clear, comparable ESG integration score that cuts through greenwash. Use it to benchmark peers, track progress, and pinpoint where value is at risk. It works for investors, analysts, executives, and even companies checking their own narrative. Case studies show the wide gap between leaders and laggards. The tool links ESG to cash flow, capital costs, and growth potential. It’s free, scalable, and ready to deploy. Transform ESG from a checkbox to a valuation driver.
