      For 2002, our total net emissions were approximately 60 million metric
      tons of CO2 equivalents for all businesses and operations we have financial
      interests in, based on its equity share in those businesses and
      operations. 

ESG analysis can help investors determine a business' long-term sustainability and identify associated risks. finbERT-esg-9-categories is a FinBERT model fine-tuned on about 14,000 manually annotated sentences from firms' ESG reports and annual reports.

finbert-esg-9-categories classifies a financial text into 9 fine-grained ESG classes: Climate Change, Natural Capital, Pollution & Waste, Human Capital, Product Liability, Community Relations, Corporate Governance, Business Ethics & Values, and Non-ESG. It complements finbert-esg which classifies a text into 4 coarse-grained ESG categories (E, S, G or None).

Input: A financial text.

Output: Climate Change, Natural Capital, Pollution & Waste, Human Capital, Product Liability, Community Relations, Corporate Governance, Business Ethics & Values, or Non-ESG.

How to use

You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for fine-grained ESG 9 categories classification.

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForSequenceClassification, pipeline

finbert = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('yiyanghkust/finbert-esg-9-categories',num_labels=9)
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('yiyanghkust/finbert-esg-9-categories')
nlp = pipeline("text-classification", model=finbert, tokenizer=tokenizer)

results = nlp('For 2002, our total net emissions were approximately 60 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents for all businesses 
               and operations we have financial interests in, based on its equity share in those businesses and operations.')
print(results) # [{'label': 'Climate Change', 'score': 0.9955655932426453}]
