AI for Sustainability · The disclosure-ready practice

Make sustainability the way your business actually operates.

CSRD, ESPR, AGEC, EUDR, Green Claims Directive — five EU regulations gating fashion through 2030, each with its own evidence baseline and disclosure cadence. We install the agentic workflow that runs them as one operating discipline — every BOM, every claim, every DPP, every report — in 30 days.

The one problem we solve

Your sustainability lead is buried — and the regulator has noticed.

The pain

LCA spreadsheets, supplier PDFs, certificate emails, consultant decks — none of it adds up to a single defensible source of truth.

The data exists. The evidence exists. CSRD is in 18 months. ESPR in 24. AGEC is already live. The Green Claims Directive will unwind every loose marketing line on the site. Meanwhile your sustainability lead is one person, sometimes 1.5, and the team is treating sustainability as a reporting cost centre rather than an operating discipline. The C-suite asks for a number; the team needs three weeks to produce one.

Where it breaks down every cycle

Five places sustainability loses its evidence trail.

PDFs go stale
LCA results live in PDFs that go stale the moment a BOM line changes. The next disclosure starts from scratch.
Certs expire silently
Supplier certificates expire silently and audits arrive without evidence ready to surface.
Claims outrun verification
Marketing publishes sustainability claims faster than legal can verify them. Green Claims Directive will catch this.
Disclosure takes weeks
Each new regulation triggers another offline workstream rather than a refreshable record. CSRD takes weeks to assemble.
One-person function
Most fashion brands have 1–1.5 sustainability headcount. The workload assumes a team of five.
Why us

Three things you do not get from an LCA partner alone.

We are not a competitor to your LCA partner. We are the operating layer above it — agentic AI that turns LCA, supplier data, certs, and prior decks into one refreshable workspace your team operates from.

The regulatory clock · 2025–2030

Five regulations gate fashion. The agent tracks every one.

The platform's Regulation Watch monitors EUR-Lex, JOFR, and APAC regulators continuously. When a clause changes, your catalogue is re-evaluated and your team is briefed in the next working session.

From data to disclosure

Five steps, one workflow.

The same evidence that scores the BOM is the evidence that drafts the claim, the evidence that populates the DPP, and the evidence that closes the CSRD audit. Loaded once. Read everywhere.
01
Data
Brand context loaded
BOMs, suppliers, certs, prior LCA results, claim library — ingested once.
02
Score
Per-BOM impact
Agents score CO₂e, water, chemistry, circularity per BOM line against PEF + Higg + supplier data.
03
Verify
Evidence link
Every score linked to its evidence record — cert ID, audit date, methodology.
04
Assemble
ESRS narrative
Agents map to ESRS data points and assemble the double-materiality narrative for legal review.
05
Ship
Auditor pack
CSRD report, ESPR DPP, Green Claims register — ready for auditor and regulator.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you replace our existing LCA partner?+

No. We integrate. Your existing LCA datasets and assurance partners stay in place. The agentic workflow sits on top — refreshing scores per garment and assembling the disclosure narrative — so the manual reconciliation goes away.

Is the 30-day ship really realistic for sustainability?+

Yes — for the workflow ship and the first disclosure rehearsal. Diagnose · Design · Deploy · Operate is one week each, with your sustainability lead in the room editing as the agent generates. After day 30 we move to a retained monthly cadence which is when the workflow earns its keep through CSRD, ESPR, and audit cycles.

What happens when a regulation moves?+

Our Regulation Watch monitors EUR-Lex, JOFR, and major APAC regulators continuously. When a clause changes, the platform re-evaluates your catalogue and the McLeuker partner team walks your team through the implications in the next monthly working session.

Does this cover Eco-Design and DPP, or are those separate?+

They are inside this engagement. Eco-Design lives in the design-review workflow; DPP is generated as a by-product of the eco-design + supplier + claims work. Two separate practice pages exist as deep reads, but the work happens inside the same Sustainability engagement.

How do you handle audit?+

Every score, claim, and DPP record carries source-linked provenance — cert ID, audit date, methodology version. The auditor pack is one click. We also coordinate with your assurance provider during audit if needed, included in the retained cadence.
