ESG Analysis Agent
The agent analyses integrated reports, sustainability reports and governance documents to extract environmental, social and governance data, including B-BBEE and carbon tax information. It reconciles sources into one dataset, checks disclosures against the frameworks your stakeholders use and delivers an ESG profile ready for reporting and investment decisions.

SA-specific ESG, not a generic template
Employment equity, B-BBEE scorecards, carbon tax and social and ethics committee reporting are central to ESG in South Africa. The agent is built around them.
Stewardship and Regulation 28 expectations
CRISA 2 and Regulation 28 expect investors to consider ESG factors. The agent gives your team consistent, comparable data to show that consideration.
Every metric is auditable
Each figure links to its source location, which supports assurance reviews and gives stakeholders confidence in what you report.

Deployment
Runs inside the tools your team already uses
The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

On a model you host yourself
Run the agent on open-weight models in your data centre or private cloud. Your ESG records never leave your network, which keeps POPIA and data residency straightforward.
- Llama
- Mistral
- Ollama
- or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Inside your own software
Trigger a run from your own workflows, and push the finished output into your ERP, GRC or reporting systems. We build the integration with your team.
- REST API
- Webhooks
- Batch jobs
- Embeddable review panel
Governed the same way, every route
Whichever way your team reaches the agent, identity, permissions and audit stay with your existing controls.
- Single sign-on through Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace
- Reads only the documents each user is already allowed to open
- Every tool call written to an audit log you can export
How we deliver it
One agent, three ways to hold it
Start where your team already works, then take it as far into your systems as the value justifies.
DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your ESG records stay yours.
The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your ESG records. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
Built for regulated work.
+YOUR ESG RECORDS NEVER LEAVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
