About this Conference

A pilot shared task under NTCIR-19 that aims to evaluate and advance automatic systems for regulatory compliance checking of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports. The task focuses on developing automated systems capable of understanding, interpreting, and evaluating ESG report content across multiple languages and countries.

Call for Papers

The conference invites participants to design systems that align ESG content with SASB metrics, verifying necessary disclosures. There are three main tasks: (1) Multinational, Multilingual, Multi-Industry Regulatory Compliance Checking, (2) Reporting Template Evidence Linking for Modern Slavery Statements (AIMS-TEL), and (3) Aspect–Action Analysis with Cross-Category Generalization (A3CG). Submissions should focus on multimodal information retrieval, alignment with referential data, corporate accountability, and responsible AI.
