Your AI engine for smarter ESG
Nova powers every AI feature in Horizon ESG — from automated data collection to real-time insights and intelligent recommendations.
Why Add AI?
Reduce Effort, Increase Confidence
70% Less Manual Work
Automate data collection, validation, and estimation across your entire ESG dataset.
Smarter Emission Factors
AI matches activities to the most appropriate, up-to-date emission factors with full source transparency.
Gap Detection
Identify missing disclosures, incomplete data, and compliance gaps before they reach your auditor.
Narrative Generation
AI drafts disclosure narratives, board summaries, and stakeholder communications from your data.
Anomaly Alerts
Automatic detection of data outliers, trends, and inconsistencies that need human review.
Continuous Learning
The AI improves with every interaction, learning your organisation’s context and reporting preferences.
How AI Helps
Smarter ESG management in three ways
Practical AI that improves data quality, reduces manual effort, and surfaces insights you would otherwise miss.
Automate Collection
AI connects to your data sources, cleanses incoming data, fills gaps with transparent estimates, and flags anomalies for review.
Generate Insights
Ask Nova — your AI assistant — questions about your data. Get instant answers, trend analysis, and narrative summaries for board reports.
Ensure Quality
Automated validation checks, emission factor matching, and audit trail documentation give you confidence in every number you report.
Security & Privacy
Your data stays yours. Always.
We understand that ESG data is sensitive. Horizon ESG is built with enterprise-grade security so you can use AI with complete confidence.
Your Data Is Never Shared
Your ESG data is completely isolated and never used to train AI models, shared with third parties, or mixed with other organisations’ information. Full stop.
Enterprise-Grade Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Access controls, role-based permissions, and SSO keep your environment locked down.
Transparent AI Decisions
Every AI-generated estimate, suggestion, and calculation comes with a clear explanation of how it was derived. No black boxes — you always understand and control the output.
UK & EU Data Residency
Your data is stored in UK and EU data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We do not transfer your information outside approved jurisdictions without your explicit consent.
Full Audit Trail
Every action, every data change, every AI interaction is logged with timestamps and user attribution. Your compliance and IT teams have complete visibility at all times.
Human Always in Control
AI assists — it never decides. Every estimate, recommendation, and report goes through human review before it is finalised. Your team stays in the driving seat at every stage.
Why Choose AI-Powered ESG Reporting?
Manual ESG reporting is time-consuming, error-prone, and increasingly inadequate for meeting modern regulatory standards. Horizon ESG’s AI ESG reporting capabilities address these challenges by automating the most labour-intensive parts of the reporting cycle while maintaining the transparency and control that auditors require.
Unlike generic AI tools, our automated ESG reporting features are trained on sustainability frameworks, emission factor databases, and disclosure requirements. This domain-specific intelligence means better data quality, fewer errors, and reports that are ready for assurance from the moment they are generated.
From Data Collection to Disclosure in Less Time
The biggest bottleneck in ESG reporting is data collection and validation. Our AI sustainability software automates the ingestion of data from multiple sources — utility bills, travel systems, HR platforms, procurement databases — and maps it to the correct categories and emission factors. What used to take weeks of manual effort can now be completed in days, freeing your team to focus on strategy and stakeholder engagement.
AI That Complements Your Expertise
Horizon ESG’s AI ESG reporting is designed to augment your team’s expertise, not replace it. Nova, our built-in AI assistant, provides instant answers to framework questions, drafts narrative disclosures based on your data, and highlights areas where your reporting could be strengthened. Every AI suggestion is clearly labelled and editable, so your team maintains full ownership of the final output. This approach integrates seamlessly with your carbon accounting, CSRD compliance, and ESG planning workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data used to train the AI models?
No. Your data is never used to train AI models or shared with other organisations. The AI sustainability software processes your data in an isolated environment, and all outputs remain exclusively yours. This is a fundamental design principle of our platform.
Can I review and edit AI-generated content before it is published?
Absolutely. Every piece of AI-generated content — whether it is an emissions estimate, a narrative disclosure, or a recommended action — passes through a human review step before it is finalised. The automated ESG reporting features are designed to draft and suggest, never to publish autonomously. Your team always has the final say.
How does AI ESG reporting work with existing compliance workflows?
AI is embedded directly into the platform’s reporting workflows rather than operating as a separate tool. When you are completing a CSRD disclosure, AI can suggest narrative text. When you are reviewing carbon data, AI flags anomalies. When you need a board summary, AI drafts one from your live data. There is no separate interface to learn — the intelligence is woven into the tools you already use.
