How do you want to address a company’s responsibility to our world? What is the responsibility criteria that is important for you to evaluate in an organization? Furthermore, you are working or will work in an organization and contribute its growth, and have you asked yourself what type of responsibility do you want your organization to have for the world?\u00a0 You want to be part of which type of responsible organizations?<\/p>\n

3. DESCRIPTION<\/b><\/p>\n
Upright is a technology growth company, providing impact data and SaaS platform for corporations and institutional investors.<\/p>\n
The current ways of measuring value creation by companies are lagging behind 21st century needs. We think the world needs more common sense. That\u2019s why we\u2019re building a model focusing on what companies actually do: their products and services. Our goal is to create the new global standard for managing impact.<\/p>\n
Our net impact model consists of a machine learning-based quantification model that uses scientific research as its main data source. We take into account the natural,\u00a0 monetary and human resources involved in the operations of each company.\u00a0 Key methods to analyze this data include hierarchical bayesian modeling, natural language processing, convex optimization and deep learning.<\/p>\n
In the future, companies\u2019 net impact ratings will publicly available, whether the companies want it or not. This data can then be used by different stakeholders – such as investors, management teams, potential employees and consumers – to make more fact-based decisions on how they want to spend their time and money.<\/p>\n
Our team consists of 30 people with diverse backgrounds from top-tier management consulting to high-growth tech companies, who are all highly committed to our mission and we are constantly looking for more talented individuals to join our journey.<\/p>\n
4. CHALLENGE:<\/b><\/p>\n
Nowadays, it is relatively common, at least in our societies, to hear about the responsibility of companies across different domains: social responsibility, environmental responsibility, economic responsibility, cultural responsibility, etc. To measure these different types of responsibility and offer a visibility of those calculations beyond the wall of industries is not a trivial task. We are finding ways to transmit this message as we have more open conversations about how each company is responsible.<\/p>\n
However,\u00a0 we are missing a bidirectional conversation, where future employees or entrepreneurs also express what they think is relevant or important for a company to be responsible. What if we could ask employers about their responsibility goals? Furthermore, what metrics can we utilize to measure the type of responsibility we want to see in the world? What is important for us? And if this reflects on the company.<\/p>\n
In this session we open the conversation and reflect upon what aspects make a company responsible. Our reflection has an impact toward the future of a more responsible world.\u00a0 The pre-assignment will help us to understand and reflect upon what Upright already measures and the type of conversation they have with the company and investors. Next is to open the conversation with the future talents and listen to us. What do we visualize as a responsible future from our employers? What do we value? And how do we measure it?<\/p>\n
