The AI-native Climate & ESG Operating System

CSRD applies to 50,000+ companies from 2025. Scope 3 represents 70%+ of emissions but is hardest to measure. Net zero plans fail without real-time tracking. ClimateOS deploys 13 AI agents for continuous ESG intelligence, CSRD compliance, and net zero delivery.

The Problem

Why this sector needs AI-native infrastructure

📋 CSRD: Mandatory and Complex
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires double materiality assessment, EU Taxonomy alignment, and ESRS-standard disclosures — from 2025. Manual preparation takes 6-12 months per year and produces error-prone data that fails assurance.
🔗 Scope 3: The 70% Problem
Scope 3 supply chain emissions represent 70%+ of most corporate footprints but are measured from incomplete supplier data, spend proxies, and industry averages. AI Scope 3 intelligence dramatically improves coverage and accuracy.
🎯 Net Zero: Commitments Without Tracking
Most organisations have net zero commitments but measure progress annually at best. By the time the annual report is published, the window to course-correct the current year has already closed. AI monthly pathway tracking provides time to act.
🌡 Physical Risk: TCFD Requires Scenario Analysis
TCFD requires climate physical and transition risk assessment under multiple warming scenarios. Manual scenario analysis is expensive and infrequent. AI physical risk intelligence scores every asset under 1.5°C, 2°C, and 3°C scenarios continuously.
💚 Carbon Credits: Quality and Timing Risk
Voluntary carbon market quality varies enormously — many credits face additionality and permanence challenges. AI carbon credit intelligence scores quality, monitors market pricing, and optimises portfolio timing.
🌿 Biodiversity: The Next Wave
TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) is following TCFD into mainstream reporting requirements. AI biodiversity intelligence provides early-mover TNFD readiness assessment and nature risk mapping.

CSRD applies to 50,000+ European companies from 2025-2026. Every FTSE 350 company is legally required to disclose climate risk. Average CSRD compliance programme: £500K-£2M in manual preparation. Scope 3 supply chain emissions represent 70%+ of corporate footprints — only AI can measure them at scale.

Compliance Framework

Every regulation built in — not retrofitted

CSRD — EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Mandatory from 2025. Double materiality assessment + ESRS standards. Third-party assurance required.
TCFD — Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
UK mandatory for premium-listed companies from 2023. 4 pillars: governance, strategy, risk, metrics & targets.
UK SDR — Sustainability Disclosure Requirements
FCA SDR for UK investment products from 2024. Anti-greenwashing rules.
EU Taxonomy Regulation
6 environmental objectives. Green taxonomy alignment disclosure required for CSRD companies.
TNFD — Taskforce on Nature-related Disclosures
Nature-related risk assessment moving from voluntary to mandatory.
