An audit-ready
sustainability report,drafted in minutes.
Verdant reads your messy operational data and drafts a carbon and ESG report with the numbers, the methodology, and a source behind every figure. Weeks of consultant work becomes a first draft you can stand behind.
A copilot, not certified assurance. Every figure shows its work.
Operational data
L1Ohio plant natural gas: 48,200 therms (Columbia Gas).
L2Fleet burned 62,500 gallons of diesel (fuel-card).
L3Purchased electricity 1,240 MWh, PJM region.
L4Packaging + ingredients: $4.20M supplier spend.

Sample data · every figure carries its source and factor
The first draft should not take a season.
Before a sustainability lead can report, months go to gathering bills, fuel logs, and supplier spend and re-keying them into a model. That work is necessary. It should not be manual.
3–6 wks
per annual report
goes to gathering: pulling energy bills, fuel logs, travel, and supplier spend, then re-keying them into a carbon model before any drafting begins.
$40–90k
a first inventory
is a typical mid-market consultant engagement, most of it spent on data wrangling and unit conversions, not on judgment.
1 in 8
hand-keyed figures
carries a unit or emission-factor error in a spreadsheet model, the kind that surfaces in an audit or a restatement.
Illustrative ranges drawn from mid-market reporting workflows, not a published study.
Ingest the data. Map to a framework. Draft with sources.
The same three steps, in order, every time. Scroll to watch messy operational data become a sourced inventory.

Ingest operational data
Paste or connect energy bills, fuel logs, business travel, refrigerant top-ups, and supplier spend. Verdant reads the messy exports, tables and footnotes included, and holds the raw text next to the draft.

Map to a framework
Language models classify each activity into Scope 1, 2, or 3 and match it to the right emission factor under the GHG Protocol. Where a factor is an average or spend-based estimate, Verdant says so.
- 03
Draft with sources
Verdant computes each figure, shows the factor and the arithmetic, and links every number back to the line it came from. You review the judgment. The gathering is already done.
Operational data goes in. A sourced report comes out.
Hover any figure to see the line it came from. Toggle between the summary, the methodology behind each number, and the sources. This runs on sample data; the product does it across your whole year.

L1Ohio plant natural gas came to 48,200 therms for the year per the Columbia Gas invoices.
L2The owned delivery fleet burned 62,500 gallons of diesel last year (fuel-card export).
L3Purchased electricity was 1,240 MWh, grid-supplied in the PJM / RFC East region.
L4Facilities recharged 180 kg of R-410A refrigerant across three rooftop chillers.
L5Business air travel was about 512,000 passenger-miles booked through Concur.
L6Purchased packaging and ingredients ran $4.20M in supplier spend on the AP ledger.

Verdant notes · derived
- Scope 1 is 48% of the measured footprint, driven by fleet diesel and stationary gas.1,270 ÷ 2,667 = 48%L1 · L2 · L4
- Spend-based purchased goods is the largest single line and the least certain; supplier-specific factors would tighten it.840 ÷ 2,667 = 31%L6
Draft this on your own data in the free workspace, then export with the methodology attached.
One inventory, sourced end to end.
Six capabilities, one principle: the method and the source travel with every number.
Ingests your real data
Energy bills, fleet fuel, business travel, refrigerants, waste, and supplier spend. The messy exports finance and ops already have, not a tidy template.
Maps to the frameworks
GHG Protocol Scope 1, 2, and 3, with draft mappings to CSRD / ESRS E1, CDP, SASB, and TCFD. One inventory, many disclosures.
Every figure sourced
Click any tonnage back to the exact input line it came from. Nothing is invented, and gaps are named rather than filled with a guess.
Drafts with methodology
Every figure shows the emission factor and the calculation behind it. The method travels with the number, so a reviewer can check it in seconds.
48,200 therms × 5.302 kgCO2e = 256 t
Model-agnostic
Verdant routes across language models and can run on your own provider. Swap the model without changing your data or your report.
Export audit-ready
A workbook and CSV with the methodology and source column attached, ready for your auditor, your CDP response, or your annual report.
Impossible without modern AI. So AI is the core.
Utility bills, fuel-card exports, and supplier ledgers do not arrive in a schema. Reading them, classifying each activity, and drafting a sourced inventory is exactly what language models are now good at. Verdant is built around that, not bolted onto a spreadsheet.
Model-agnostic. Verdant routes across models and can run on your own provider.
Reads unstructured data
A model reads a messy export the way a person would, tables and footnotes included, and holds the raw text next to the draft.
Maps to a framework
Classifying an activity into the right scope and emission factor is judgment work that models now do reliably, with the method shown.
Grounded, not generative
Every figure is tied to a source line and a stated factor. The model drafts the report; it does not invent the numbers.
A copilot, not certified assurance.
Verdant drafts the report and shows its work. Your team reviews it, owns it, and files it. We are clear about the line.
What Verdant does
- Drafts an audit-ready first version in minutes
- Shows the emission factor and arithmetic behind each figure
- Links every number to the operational line it came from
- Names the data a complete report still needs, instead of guessing
What Verdant is not
- An auditor or a third-party assurance provider
- A certification of compliance with any framework
- A replacement for your review before you disclose
- A source of numbers that are not in your data
For the person who owns the report.
The first draft used to take my team three weeks and an outside consultant. Verdant gets us to a sourced draft in an afternoon, and I can click any number back to the bill it came from.

Head of Sustainability, mid-market manufacturer
Our auditors care about methodology, not vibes. Every figure carrying its factor and its source is what moved this past review without a week of follow-up questions.
