Expanding Transparency Through As You Know's Metrics
We recently brought AYK's data on the Russell 3000 into CSRHub's big data consensus ESG ratings system. AYK is a recent and innovative entrant into the market for data that supports investor decision-making. It offers 62 metrics on human rights, social justice, diversity, and leadership topics, based on data aggregated from a wide range of community-led organizations.
AYK has now released an updated dataset that highlights pre- and post-U.S. election changes in corporate performance. This dataset is available exclusively via As You Know.
This novel methodology builds on three decades of work from As You Sow, a pioneer in shareholder engagement and corporate accountability. As You Sow has long been a trusted data partner for CSRHub, offering insights that many traditional datasets often miss. Both As You Sow (not-for-profit) and As You Know (for-profit) share CSRHub's mission of using data to drive positive change across the corporate landscape.
How AYK's Metrics Align With CSRHub's Framework
AYK focuses on eight of CSRHub's twelve ESG cores. While its scores are informed by some of the same input sources CSRHub ingests, each system captures unique signals. AYK's scoring distribution is notably strict (few companies exceed 50%), offering an important "tough grading" perspective that may highlight risks other datasets understate.
We observed a 30%+ correlation between AYK's RJI (Racial Justice Initiative) and DEI (Diversity and Equity Initiative) scores and CSRHub's overall ESG rating, suggesting meaningful alignment in how both systems assess social and governance risk.

Accessing AYK's Insights
AYK data is available for use by corporations, investors, and nonprofits. Notably, nonprofits receive free access, extending As You Sow's longstanding legacy of empowering advocacy through open data.
Data is available via:
AYK's online visualization platform: https://portal-asyouknow.com
API access (coming soon)
While the current dataset focuses on U.S. entities, many covered companies have significant overseas exposure (value chains, EU operations, cross-listings). AYK expects to expand its coverage into Europe and additional regions.
Integrating "Invest Your Values" Into AYK (Beginning 2026)
Starting in 2026, the full Invest Your Values mutual fund and ETF screening datasets will migrate exclusively to As You Know. This integration brings together three decades of As You Sow's values-aligned fund screening with AYK's expanded corporate-level analyses.
The outcome:
Unified platform for values-aligned investing
Stronger corporate-level accountability
Deeper insight into political alignment and reputational risk
Enhanced regulatory and sustainability screening capabilities
CSRHub fully supports this consolidation and looks forward to surfacing more comprehensive AYK insights as the platform grows.
