Compliance & Risks Rolls Out AI Tool for ESG Compliance

Highlights

• Real-time alerts and dashboards help companies track ESG obligations worldwide in a single platform.
• Human-verified AI outputs reduce risk and support strategic sustainability planning.

Compliance & Risks, a global leader in product compliance intelligence, has introduced Sustainability, an AI-powered compliance management solution designed for companies facing a complex and fast-changing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) environment.

The platform, available with a free 30-day trial, uses AI to identify important regulations for each company and convert them into actionable obligations.

The launch comes on the back of companies worldwide encountering overlapping rules, shifting directives, and increased scrutiny of supply chains for environmental and human rights impacts.

Joe Skulski, CEO of Compliance & Risks, warned that failing to keep up with ESG compliance affects financial performance and brand reputation. Companies that consider ESG as a checklist stay reactive, whereas those embedding ESG into strategy and governance can reduce risks and build long-term value.

Sustainability is different from traditional systems, which are contingent on narrow frameworks, leave teams siloed, and struggle to adapt to sudden rule changes. Legacy tools make it difficult to identify relevant regulations and interpret their impact, thereby leaving companies exposed to fines, litigation, and operational disruption.

By combining AI with human verification, the platform delivers audit-ready outputs based on over 20 years of regulatory data and insights from more than 40 in-house experts.

Top features of Sustainability include Smart Matching, which identifies applicable regulations by region and sector, and Regulatory Landscape Overview, which shows active, approved, and proposed rules along with compliance timelines.

The Action Advisor helps in translating complex legal language into personalised compliance tasks, and Proactive Alerts send fresh updates on important regulations.

A Collaborative Compliance Workspace centralises work among teams, and Natural Language Search helps users find regulations using everyday terms. Manual controls let companies adjust AI results to align with internal policies.

Skulski also said that AI could reshape ESG compliance by moving companies from reactive management to predictive monitoring. Compliance officers can shift from administrative tasks to strategic roles, embedding sustainability into business design while AI enforces, monitors, and verifies performance.

In addition, Compliance & Risks has introduced the Corporate Sustainability Scholarship, a $5,000 award for undergraduate students in the United States who wish to pursue careers in corporate sustainability and ESG strategy. Applications open on October 15, 2025, with funds distributed before the Fall 2026 academic term.

The Sustainability platform will debut at Sustainable Brands ’25 in San Diego from October 13–16 and the ICPHSO 2025 International Symposium in London from October 14–15, which gives companies and sustainability leaders an opportunity to explore the tool and its capabilities.
