Overview

Hibou provides clear, country-by-country ESG information through a global dashboard.

Problem

Reliable ESG data is scattered across sources, making it hard to compare countries and extract insights quickly.

Target Users

  • Sustainability analysts and researchers
  • Policy and public-sector teams
  • Product teams looking for global ESG context

Goals

  • Balance comparability with uneven data freshness
  • Make cross-country signals readable without overpromising precision
  • Reduce the effort to answer country-level ESG questions

Non-Goals

  • Financial or investment advice
  • Full reporting or audit workflows
  • Predictive modeling

Solution

A live, interactive dashboard that aggregates 27 ESG indicators by country with clear visualizations and a simple query flow.

My Role

Personal case study. I owned the problem framing, indicator selection, UX flow, and end-to-end demo build, and indicator choice meant trading data freshness against comparability.

Key Decisions & Trade-offs

Focused on country-level ESG indicators for comparability over broader, harder-to-normalize datasets.

  • Prioritized clarity and readability over exhaustive coverage.
  • Balanced a global overview (map) with deep dives (country profiles).

Key Features

  • Global map and country profiles
  • ESG indicator exploration and comparisons
  • Clear visual storytelling for sustainability data

AI Use

  • LLM used to generate narrative summaries; the demo shows precomputed narratives.
  • Core metrics come directly from published datasets.

Risks & Constraints

  • Data freshness varies by source
  • Cross-country comparisons require careful context
  • Constraint: I only used public, unevenly updated ESG datasets, so I optimized for clarity over coverage.

What I’d Do Next

  • If I restarted, I would start with fewer indicators and validate the data pipeline before expanding scope.
  • Add methodology notes and sources per indicator.
  • Introduce time-series trends for each country.
  • Provide exports for analysts (CSV / report-ready visuals).
