AI Helps Us Scale Sustainable Finance — Without Losing Trust 🤖

AI-driven isn't just a buzzword. At ClimateAligned, it means pipelines that can process tens of thousands of sustainability bond documents — and the ability to see exactly what those pipelines are doing in real time.

At ClimateAligned, AI-driven means pipelines that can process tens of thousands of sustainability bond documents with full transparency. Here's how we're scaling sustainable finance data while maintaining trust through visible sources, full citations, and audit trails.

The Scale We're Operating At

Here's the scale we're operating at today:

  • 59,000+ documents
  • 32,000+ issuances (green, social, sustainability bonds, etc.)
  • 13,000+ post-issuance reports
  • 4,900+ entities

In a single processing run yesterday, the platform handled:

  • 1,085 document-to-issuance links
  • 1,082 post-issuance extractions (with only 3 failures)
  • 654 use-of-proceeds processed

That kind of throughput is a productivity win. But scale alone isn't enough. In sustainable finance, stakeholders also need confidence. Where did this data come from? What succeeded? Where are the edge cases?

Transparency is Baked Into Everything We Do

That's why transparency is baked into everything we do:

  • Visible sources — input documents are either uploaded directly by users in brief.green or clearly linked in our bond app
  • Full citations — outputs include quotes and page numbers so you can verify the assessment
  • Audit trails — every task is visible, logged, and summarised in seconds with our MCP + Claude integration

Many climate data platforms operate like black boxes. We're building the opposite: a data backbone that's not only fast and cost-efficient, but transparent and defensible.

Building Trust at Scale

In an era where AI skepticism is high — especially in finance — our approach is simple: show your work. Every data point in our platform can be traced back to its source document, complete with page numbers and direct quotes.

This isn't just good practice; it's essential for regulatory compliance and stakeholder confidence in an industry where billions of dollars flow based on sustainability claims.
