Dataset Summary

This dataset was created as part of the Master's thesis Automated Analysis of Sustainability Reports: Using Large Language Models for the Extraction and Prediction of EU Taxonomy-Compliant KPIs (University of Innsbruck, 2025). It contains parsed annual and sustainability reports from 190 European companies subject to EU Taxonomy reporting obligations for the fiscal year 2023. Each record includes extracted Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and verified company-level metadata.

The dataset supports research on automated analysis of corporate sustainability disclosures, the extraction of EU Taxonomy-aligned financial KPIs, and the evaluation of large language models for compliance-related information extraction tasks.
