The first task is to identify the news sources for each ESG incident to obtain more background information and verify the reliability of the information. The second task is to evaluate the impact of these ESG incidents, including the negative impact on local employees, residents and the environment, the degree of corporate responsibility, the severity of penalties, and the impact on the supplier's operations, product quality and reputation. Through these two tasks, we try to gain an in-depth understanding of the nature and impact of ESG incidents and provide relevant insights.

We use various sources, such as New Bing, Google, and Refinitiv, to search for ownership changes of each manufacturer which helps us establish a direct link between manufacturers and the ultimate parent public companies. Additionally, we calculate the Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI)for each product module every quarter at the county level from 2006 to 2020. To manifest market competitiveness in different regions of the United States, we also utilize this data to calculate changes in county level HHI over time and create heat maps to visualize these changes.
