What is an ESG report?

An ESG report documents a company's Environmental, Social, and Governance performance metrics. It covers carbon emissions, diversity data, board composition, and compliance with sustainability frameworks.

Which ESG frameworks does AI Sustainable Future support?

Our reports align with GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

How long does it take to generate an ESG report?

What is a Carbon Draft?

A Carbon Draft is a GHG Protocol-compliant carbon emissions estimate generated from your company's annual spend data (CSV). It uses AI to classify spending into emission categories and applies EPA EEIO emission factors to calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

How does spend-based carbon accounting work?

Spend-based carbon accounting uses your company's purchasing data to estimate emissions. Each dollar spent in a category (e.g., electricity, travel, raw materials) is multiplied by industry-average emission factors from the EPA EEIO database to estimate the associated carbon emissions.

AI Sustainable Future | Carbon Emissions Draft from Spend Data

Board-ready carbon reports for SMBs.

GHG Protocol aligned. GL reconcilable. Built for accountants.

Upload a CSV from your accounting software. We classify every line, apply EPA emission factors, and return a GHG Protocol-aligned Scope 1, 2, and 3 report — ready to drop into CDP, Walmart, Microsoft, or Amazon supplier programs.

Preview shown: Disclosure-Ready tier. See the Pricing page for tier-specific samples.

Screening-grade estimate (±25–40% per GHG Protocol Scope 3). Not a substitute for third-party assurance — but an 80% head start toward one.

Carbon Draft — three tiers, one engine

Same GHG Protocol methodology across all tiers. Difference is the depth of disclosure detail and the size of the customer's ask.

Basic

Scope 1 & 2 only

$20/report

Direct emissions + purchased energy. For simple disclosures where the customer only asks about Scope 1 & 2.

Complete

Scope 1, 2 + material Scope 3

$49/report

Adds Scope 3 (Category 1, travel, logistics) with data-quality scoring. The default for most CDP and supplier questionnaire responses.

Disclosure-Ready Report

Full transaction ledger + framework mapping

$299/report

Every transaction with data lineage, confidence scoring per item, SEC/CSRD/CDP mapping. Designed for RFP responses, supplier disclosures, and as the starting point for third-party assurance.

How It Works

From spend data to GHG-aligned report in three steps. No consultants, no sustainability-team build-out.

Upload your spend CSV

Export AP and utility data from QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or any accounting software. The CSV needs a vendor name and amount column — the rest we handle.

We classify + calculate

Our engine maps every vendor to an EPA USEEIO commodity code, applies the latest EPA GHG Emission Factors Hub values to Scope 1 & 2 activity data, and produces Scope 3 estimates with confidence scoring per line item.

Why Carbon Reporting Matters in 2026

Carbon reporting is no longer optional for small and medium businesses. In 2026, enterprise supply chain requirements, new regulations like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and California's SB 253, and growing investor expectations are creating a cascade effect where even companies with 50 employees are being asked for carbon disclosures by their customers.

According to CDP, over 23,000 companies now report their emissions annually — and those companies are increasingly requiring their suppliers (including SMBs) to disclose emissions data as part of Scope 3 value chain reporting. If your enterprise customer reports to CDP, chances are they'll be asking you for a carbon disclosure within the next 12 months.

The challenge for small businesses has always been accessibility. Traditional sustainability consulting engagements cost $5,000–$25,000 and take weeks. We built AI Sustainable Future to close that gap — providing the same GHG Protocol-aligned methodology used by Fortune 500 companies, powered by the US EPA's EEIO emission factor database, at a price point accessible to any business.
