Specificity beats breadth
We build for mid-market companies. Not startups, not Fortune 500. That focus means every feature we ship solves a real problem for our specific customers.
Our Mission
ESG compliance shouldn't require a $50K budget
We built ESG Automated because mid-market companies are getting squeezed—regulators expect reporting, but enterprise software is priced out of reach.
We exist to level the playing field
Mid-market companies—manufacturers, food producers, retailers, logistics companies—face the same ESG reporting requirements as Fortune 500 companies. But they don't have the same budgets, staff, or internal expertise.
ESG Automated was built specifically for this gap: companies with 100–500 employees who need to report, but can't justify $50K–$500K annual software licenses or a consultant on retainer.
We believe good sustainability reporting should be a tool for business improvement, not a compliance burden reserved for companies with deep pockets.

Our story
In 2022, our founders spent six months inside a 300-person food manufacturer trying to help them prepare their first ESG report. They spent more time wrangling spreadsheets and chasing down data from different departments than actually doing sustainability analysis.
At the end of that project, a $40K consulting engagement produced a single PDF report and a pile of disconnected Excel files. Six months later, they had to start over from scratch for the next reporting period.
"We realized the problem wasn't a lack of willingness to report—it was a complete lack of tools built for companies at this scale."
ESG Automated launched in early 2024 with a single goal: make it possible for any mid-market company to go from scattered data to a finished, standards-compliant ESG report in 30 days or less—and then do it again next year in a fraction of the time.
We're a small, focused team. We don't try to serve everyone. We're purpose-built for the mid-market, and we intend to stay that way.
What we believe
Clarity over jargon
ESG is full of acronyms and framework complexity. We translate everything into plain English so non-specialists can understand their data and make decisions.
Speed matters
Compliance deadlines don't wait. We're obsessed with reducing the time from "we need to report" to "report submitted." 30 days is our standard, not our ceiling.
Honest pricing
No enterprise sales games. No "contact us for pricing." Our costs are visible, our plans are clear, and we'll never charge you for features you don't use.
Standards we trust
Every metric we calculate uses EPA, GHG Protocol, GRI, SASB, or TCFD methodologies. We don't invent our own standards—we implement the ones that matter to regulators.
ESG is a business tool
We believe ESG reporting should drive real business improvement—not just tick a compliance box. Good data leads to better decisions. That's the outcome we're building toward.
