MANA-Vox+Incident Locations+methodology

Explain how MANA tracks this data (i.e. algorithm)

MANA relies on its network of local and international organisations to report environmental incidents on the Internet and through online media channels like Twitter. Using their sophisticated algorithm, MANA extracts the following information from the identified sources:

• Incident location;

• Company concerned;

• Source which made the incident known or identified it as accurate;

• Environmental categorization (forest, deforestation, water, pollution… etc.);

• Evidence (pictures, documents, testimonies of local communities …etc.);

• Response of the company involved in the incident; and

• Degree of public attention generated.

Lastly this data is then aggregated and organized in a suitable format for financiers to analyze it in their risk matrix.
