Environmental Disclosure–
Performance Intelligence

An NLP and regulator-grounded analytics framework for examining how corporate environmental disclosure aligns with observed environmental performance.

Built from sustainability reports, human-validated NLP, Indonesian PROPER data, entity resolution, statistical validation, and reproducible analytics.

The research problem

Companies describe their environmental story. Regulators observe facilities from another angle.

The difficult question is not whether one source is “good” or “bad.” It is whether the relative standing implied by corporate disclosure aligns with regulator-grounded performance.

How does this research work?

Three steps, without the jargon

The analytical system is sophisticated; the central comparison is simple.

01

What companies say

Companies publish sustainability reports describing environmental targets, programs, actions, and reported achievements.

Sustainability report NLP analysis Disclosure score
02

What regulators observe

Indonesia’s PROPER program evaluates environmental performance at regulated facilities.

03

Compare the standings

DPD subtracts regulator-grounded performance standing from environmental disclosure standing.

Disclosure standing Difference DPD
Does a positive difference prove greenwashing?No.

It identifies a mismatch signal for investigation—not deception, corporate intent, or a binary company label.

Move the two standings to understand the arithmetic. This demo never changes or recalculates real company scores.

This simulation demonstrates the concept only. Real company values come from frozen research outputs.

Did it actually work?

The null result is part of the product

After building DPD, the study tested whether higher positive divergence corresponded with more independent adverse environmental evidence.

External criterion validation

Two validation phases remained close to zero.

Improved evidence collection, reduced search-visibility bias, and human review did not produce a meaningful relationship.

Phase 6Aρ = 0.0383Initial independent criterion
Phase 6Bρ = -0.034395% CI [-0.3458, 0.2823]
External criterion validity was not supported.

DPD is a reproducible disclosure–performance divergence measure, not a validated greenwashing classification system.

Scientific integrity

A model should not claim more than the evidence supports.

The project retained the null result instead of tuning it away.

What it measures

  • Environmental disclosure extent
  • Disclosure substantiation
  • Targets and governance
  • Regulator-observed facility performance
  • Disclosure–performance divergence

What it does not prove

  • Corporate intent or deception
  • False advertising
  • Complete corporate environmental performance
  • Confirmed greenwashing
