At Briink, we harness the power of AI to streamline ESG workflows. Through our partnership with Novata, whose trusted sustainability management platform and data governance framework investors rely on, we enable companies to effortlessly leverage their existing data to report across multiple frameworks and stakeholders. Together, we generate powerful insights that support informed decision-making and long-term value creation.
Why? Sustainability reporting is no longer a once-a-year task; it’s a continuous, high-stakes responsibility. Yet for many sustainability teams, reporting remains a manual, time-consuming process that pulls focus away from strategic work.
As we like to say at Briink: "We automate the boring bits so that sustainability teams can commit to and focus on making a difference".
