Auquan, a market leader in generative AI for deep work in financial services, has announced the launch of its Sustainability Agent, an AI-powered solution designed to free sustainability teams from time-consuming manual tasks.
The Sustainability Agent is the first of its kind, offering an automated approach to sustainability research, risk assessment, and reporting, according to Finextra.
Sustainability professionals in the financial sector spend hours manually researching sustainability performance, processing unstructured data into insights, and drafting reports.
Auquan aims to tackle this challenge with its new AI agent, which automates these workflows—allowing teams to focus on strategic decision-making and sustainable value creation.
Founded in 2018, Auquan provides AI-driven solutions that enhance intelligence gathering and analysis for financial services firms.
The company’s technology is trusted by a quarter of the top 25 global financial services firms to drive productivity, expand research coverage, and accelerate decision-making.
The Sustainability Agent is designed to streamline ESG (environmental, social, and governance) research and reporting.
It autonomously performs key tasks, including company screening, monitoring, and generating framework-aligned reports and real-time alerts. By automating these processes, the tool enables sustainability teams to focus on engaging stakeholders and improving ESG compliance.
Built with deep financial expertise, the Sustainability Agent analyses data from more than 550,000 private and public companies, continuously drawing from over 2 million data sources in 65 languages.
These sources include corporate filings, regulatory documents, legal records, media reports, NGO publications, and industry analyses.
Additionally, the AI tool aligns insights with major sustainability frameworks such as SFDR, CSRD, SASB, UNGC, SDGs, and modern slavery regulations in the UK, Australia, and Germany.
One of the key advantages of the Sustainability Agent is its ability to add private company coverage on demand within one hour—ensuring financial firms stay ahead of evolving ESG requirements. Customers benefit from immediate value, with the AI solution significantly reducing manual work within the first few days of deployment.
Since its launch in late 2023, Auquan’s agentic AI platform has been instrumental in transforming workflows across private markets, asset management, and financial services.
It supports various use cases, including deal screening, due diligence, portfolio monitoring, regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and impact investing.
“At Auquan, our mission is to liberate financial professionals from soul-sapping manual tasks and bring meaning back to their work,” Auquan CEO Chandini Jain said. “With our Sustainability Agent, we’re empowering teams to escape the endless cycle of manual data gathering and report writing so they can focus on the initiatives that reduce risk, improve stakeholder engagement, and create lasting impact.”
The Sustainability Agent is available for direct purchase or through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, offering turnkey solutions as well as custom implementations to meet unique research and reporting needs.
