      In fiscal year 2019, we reduced our comprehensive carbon footprint for the
      fourth consecutive year—down 35 percent compared to 2015, when Apple’s
      carbon emissions peaked, even as net revenue increased by 11 percent over
      that same period. In the past year, we avoided over 10 million metric tons
      from our emissions reduction initiatives—like our Supplier Clean Energy
      Program, which lowered our footprint by 4.4 million metric tons.

      We believe it is essential to establish validated conflict-free sources of
      3TG within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) and adjoining
      countries (together, with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”), so that these
      minerals can be procured in a way that contributes to economic growth and
      development in the region. To aid in this effort, we have established a
      conflict minerals policy and an internal team to implement the policy.

Model Card for ESG-BERT

Domain Specific BERT Model for Text Mining in Sustainable Investing

Model Details

Model Description

Uses

Direct Use

Text Mining in Sustainable Investing

Downstream Use [Optional]

The applications of ESG-BERT can be expanded way beyond just text classification. It can be fine-tuned to perform various other downstream NLP tasks in the domain of Sustainable Investing.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., Sheng et al. (2021) and Bender et al. (2021)). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups.

Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recomendations.

Results

ESG-BERT was further trained on unstructured text data with accuracies of 100% and 98% for Next Sentence Prediction and Masked Language Modelling tasks. Fine-tuning ESG-BERT for text classification yielded an F-1 score of 0.90. For comparison, the general BERT (BERT-base) model scored 0.79 after fine-tuning, and the sci-kit learn approach scored 0.67.

TorcheServe uses a format called MAR (Model Archive). We can convert our PyTorch model to a .mar file using this command:

 
torch-model-archiver --model-name "bert" --version 1.0 --serialized-file ./bert_model/pytorch_model.bin --extra-files "./bert_model/config.json,./bert_model/vocab.txt" --handler "./handler.py"
 

Move the .mar file into a new directory:

 
mkdir model_store && mv bert.mar model_store
 

Finally, we can start TorchServe using the command:

 
torchserve --start --model-store model_store --models bert=bert.mar
 

We can now query the model from another terminal window using the Inference API. We pass a text file containing text that the model will try to classify.

 
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/predictions/bert -T predict.txt
 

This returns a label number which correlates to a textual label. This is stored in the label_dict.txt dictionary file.
