Diligent Market Intelligence offers on-demand data on shareholder activism, executive compensation, and ESG metrics - used by companies preparing for proxy season or tracking investor sentiment on sustainability issues. Its board and risk tools help organizations embed ESG oversight at the governance level, which regulators and institutional investors increasingly require.

Diligent serves public companies, private firms, nonprofits, and public sector organizations across industries including financial services, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing. It is recognized as a leader in third-party risk management by Gartner, indicating meaningful scale in the enterprise compliance market.
