Datamaran launches “Core,” an AI-powered toolkit to streamline ESG reporting and compliance for corporate sustainability teams.
The “Core” product includes tools for materiality assessments and an IRO Hub, addressing complex disclosure rules like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
Datamaran’s offering aims to transform regulatory compliance from a burden into a strategic advantage for companies.
ESG software firm Datamaran has launched its new “Core” product, an AI-powered solution designed to help corporate sustainability, legal, and risk teams escape the spreadsheet grind and navigate a tangled web of environmental, social, and governance rules.
Drowning in disclosures: As companies face a growing thicket of disclosure rules, like Europe’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Datamaran is positioning its platform as an automated way to manage risk and compliance. The offering bundles tools for materiality assessments, an “IRO Hub” for organizing business impacts, and a solution for double materiality assessments.
From burden to advantage: “Core gives companies the capabilities they need to confidently run repeatable, audit-ready assessments while remaining agile in the face of shifting requirements,” said Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran. The deal also includes access to Harbor+, the company’s premium networking platform connecting users with ESG experts and member-only events.
The bottom line: For companies buried in compliance work, tools that turn a regulatory headache into a strategic asset are becoming indispensable, not just nice-to-haves. Datamaran’s move is part of a broader wave of generative AI being deployed for sustainability reporting, as companies face mounting pressure from regulations like California’s climate disclosure laws. The company’s growth is also backed by significant institutional capital, including a $33 million investment from Morgan Stanley in 2024.
