IFC assesses ESG risk with AI-powered MALENA platform

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, built MALENA (Machine Learning ESG Analyst), an AI-powered platform that uses NLP, sentiment analysis and named entity recognition to extract ESG insights from unstructured text such as impact assessments, news articles and sustainability reports at scale. Built on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with GPU computing and MLflow for the ML lifecycle, MALENA analyzes 19,000 sentences per minute (a 950x increase over manual review) and identifies 1,200 ESG risk terms, reducing document analysis time from weeks to days and enabling IFC to offer MALENA to external users as the World Bank Group's first AI as a Service.
