Sustainability Intelligence Platforms
Build your reporting capability — don’t outsource it forever.
We design and build a custom sustainability intelligence platform, powered by specialised AI agents, that your own team owns and operates so reporting knowledge, evidence and governance stay inside your organisation.

The Challenge
Dependency on external consultants and subscription ESG software – lack of ownership
Most organisations still run sustainability reporting on spreadsheets, disconnected data sources and repeated manual coordination. As disclosure requirements deepen CSRD, ISSB, GRI that approach compounds cost, multiplies risk, and leaves teams permanently dependent on external consultants and subscription ESG software.
Every cycle, the same data is chased, the same evidence reassembled, the same reviews repeated. Knowledge leaves with the consultant. The capability never becomes yours.
- Fragmented data across teams, files and inboxes
- Evidence disconnected from the metrics it supports
- Manual coordination of responsibilities and deadlines
- Repeated reviews and reconciliations every cycle
- Dependence on external consultants
- Recurring cost of generic ESG platforms
The Shift
A sustainability intelligence platform that you own - built around how you work.
New River builds the alternative: an internal sustainability intelligence capability, designed around your organisation’s governance, data, workflows and disclosure requirements. Rather than deploying an off-the-shelf platform, we design and build a custom system with specialised AI agents embedded across the process - that automates repetitive work, strengthens data quality and accelerates reporting, while keeping your people in control at every decision point.
“Built for your organisation. Operated by your team.”
What We Build
- Data architecture & evidence — a single structure connecting every metric to the evidence that supports it.
- Automated data collection, validation & QA — requests, checks and reconciliations handled automatically.
- Governance workflows — responsibilities, approvals, controls, deadlines and escalation, defined and enforced.
- Reporting workflows — information mapped to the disclosures that require it, aligned to GRI, CSRD and ISSB.
- Management dashboards & decision-support — performance, risk and recommended action, at a glance.
- Specialised AI agents — embedded across data, reporting, governance and performance.
The Tech
Four intelligent agents governed by your team
The system is powered by four AI agents, each responsible for a distinct part of the reporting process — and each operating under your team’s control.
Data & Evidence Agent
Collects, structures and validates sustainability information from across the organisation, connecting every metric to its supporting evidence — so nothing is unverifiable at review time.
Governance & Workflow Agent
Coordinates responsibilities, approvals, controls, deadlines and escalation — so the right people act at the right time and accountability is never ambiguous.
Reporting Agent
Maps information to disclosure requirements across recognised frameworks and supports drafting and review — turning validated data into report-ready output.
Management Intelligence Agent
Explains performance, surfaces risks and recommends action — turning reporting data into decisions leadership can act on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a software product we subscribe to?
No. We build a custom platform that becomes your asset. There is no perpetual subscription to New River to keep it running — the point is that ownership transfers to you.
Do the AI agents make decisions on their own?
No. Every agent operates under your team’s governance. The agents automate collection, coordination, mapping and analysis; people remain in control of decisions and approvals, and every output is traceable to its evidence.
Which frameworks does it support?
Reporting workflows align to recognised frameworks including GRI, CSRD and ISSB, and are configured to your specific disclosure obligations.
What happens to our existing data and processes?
They are the starting point. We design around your existing governance, data and workflows rather than replacing everything — the system reflects how your organisation actually works. The existing data is integrated/incorporated into the platform.
