LONDON, January 13, 2025 – Gardenia Technologies, the enterprise Carbon Accounting Software provider, today announced the launch of Report GenAI, a generative AI tool designed to simplify sustainability reporting. Building on a suite of features for automated carbon accounting and ESG reporting, Report GenAI enables companies to prepare accurate disclosures faster.
“Manual ESG reporting processes are holding companies back from taking meaningful action on sustainability,” said Jonathan Schneider, Co-Founder of Gardenia Technologies. “With Report GenAI, we’re transforming what was previously a months-long process into an efficient automated workflow that can be completed in as little as 1 week.”
Report GenAI is an ESG reporting tool that leverages generative AI to turn organisational data (e.g. emissions databases, company policies, prior reports, and risk assessments) into accurate ESG disclosures. The tool accelerates each step of the ESG reporting process from retrieving data, composing first-draft answers, and assisting with editing through to review. Report GenAI has helped clients reduce ESG reporting time by up to 75%.
Demand for auditable, detailed ESG reports continues to grow, driven by expanding sustainability regulations worldwide. The EU's incoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will require 50,000 companies to report detailed sustainability data, up from 11,000 under previous regulations. Companies are struggling to keep pace: 70% of sustainability leads claim that reporting demands are limiting their ability to implement strategy.
“Our clients typically submit several reports across regulatory, voluntary and stakeholder requests, and there’s a lot of repeated work involved in translating the data into different formats,” said Jonathan Schneider, Co-Founder of Gardenia Technologies.
Report GenAI offers a timely solution to this growing challenge. Gardenia’s Report GenAI tool can answer sustainability questions based on available organisational data, such as GHG Inventories or company policy documents. The tool can pre-fill and do a ‘first-run’ at all questions for a selected report; then users can iterate answers with the help of AI to finalise the report.
The tool can be configured to a wide range of reports, including major regulatory and voluntary reports (e.g. CSRD, CDP, PRI) as well as custom reports to investors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Gardenia is a certified AWS software provider, leveraging AWS infrastructure (including Amazon Bedrock) and deep sustainability expertise to transform organisational data into accurate regulatory disclosures.
“The Gardenia platform is designed to empower businesses to integrate disparate corporate data and seamlessly calculate, interpret, and report their sustainability performance. Our goal is to make ESG reporting standard practice and enable companies to move to best practice,” said Jonathan Schneider, Co-Founder Gardenia Technologies
“Every dollar an organization spends on reporting is a dollar they cannot spend on action”
