Your sustainability report is only as credible as the data behind it – self verify using our sophisticated platform.
Your sustainability report is written. Now prove it is right.

ESG Report self verification powered by Speeki Engage and Nicole AI. Self driven assurance when you need it.
Scott Lane, CEO and Founder, and Lead Auditor
The gap most organisations don't talk about.
Writing a sustainability report takes significant effort. Data collection. Stakeholder engagement. Materiality assessments. Disclosure drafting. Design and publication. For most organisations, by the time the report is finalised, the team is exhausted and the job feels done.
But there is a question that most sustainability reports cannot fully answer.
Is it right?
Not whether it reads well. Not whether it looks credible. But whether the specific assertions made in the report are supported by adequate evidence. Whether the disclosures meet the exact requirements of the standards being reported against. Whether the claims being made — about emissions, about targets, about governance, about social performance — could withstand rigorous independent scrutiny.
That gap between a well-written sustainability report and a verifiable one is where regulatory exposure lives. Where greenwashing risk accumulates. Where investor due diligence finds problems. And where assurance providers, when they eventually review the report, find the issues that should have been found earlier.
The organisations that close that gap before their report is published are in a fundamentally stronger position than the ones that discover it afterwards.
Speeki Engage for ESG Report self verification is built to close that gap.
What Speeki Engage for ESG Report self verification is — and what it is not
Speeki Engage for ESG Report self verification is not a sustainability report writing tool.
It will not help you draft your CSRD disclosure, build your GRI content index, or produce your TCFD statement. Your report is written by your team, your advisors, or whatever process your organisation uses. That process does not change.
What Speeki Engage ESG Report self verification does is come after that process.
Once your sustainability report or sustainability statement exists, Speeki Engage ESG Report self verification gives you the platform to load it into the relevant framework and verify it systematically — against the actual requirements of the standard you are reporting under, with evidence uploaded against every assertion you are making.
This is self-verification. You are checking your own report against the standard yourself, using technology and Nicole AI to structure the process, surface the gaps, and build the evidence library that makes your disclosures defensible.
Not relying on instinct. Not assuming the report is right because it looks right. Actually verifying it — before anyone else does.

Need actual assurance?
Speeki Guardian is our solution to provide Limited assurance – review-level procedures, assurance conclusion and/or Reasonable assurance – audit-level procedures, assurance opinion of your sustainability disclosures.
Let us explain how this works…
What self-verification gives you.
Confidence before publication
Knowing that your sustainability report has been systematically checked against the applicable standard — requirement by requirement, with evidence in place — before it is published is a fundamentally different position from hoping it is right. Self-verification through Speeki Engage gives your sustainability team, your legal team, and your board that confidence.
Regulatory defensibility
Sustainability reporting enforcement is increasing across every major jurisdiction. CSRD enforcement by European regulators. SEC climate disclosure requirements in the United States. Greenwashing regulation across the UK, EU, Australia, and Singapore. The organisations that can demonstrate their sustainability disclosures were systematically verified against the applicable standard — with evidence maintained against each requirement — are in a significantly stronger position when regulatory scrutiny arrives.
A structured evidence library
The evidence uploaded against each disclosure during self-verification does not disappear after the report is published. It becomes the foundation of your evidence library for the following year — the starting point for your next reporting cycle and the documentation base for any independent assurance engagement that follows.
A cleaner path to independent assurance
If your organisation subsequently seeks independent assurance on its sustainability statements, the self-verification work done in Speeki Engage is not wasted. It is the foundation. The evidence is already uploaded. The disclosures are already mapped. The gaps are already identified and closed. The assurance engagement starts from a position of preparation rather than a position of catch-up.
Who this solution suits…
Speeki Engage ESG Report Self-Verification is designed for any organisation that produces a sustainability report or sustainability statement and wants to verify it systematically against the applicable reporting standards.
It is particularly relevant for large organisations subject to mandatory CSRD reporting obligations. Listed companies managing investor expectations around sustainability disclosure quality. Organisations in regulated industries where sustainability claims carry legal and regulatory risk. Sustainability teams that want structured assurance that their disclosures meet the requirements of the standards they reference. Legal and governance teams that want documented evidence that the sustainability report was systematically verified before publication.
Any organisation preparing for independent assurance and wanting to approach that process from a position of preparation.
How the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform supports you.
Sustainability report ingestion and framework mapping
The engagement begins with your sustainability report – whether in draft or final form – being ingested into the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform.
The platform maps every disclosure, metric and statement in your report against the requirements of the applicable reporting frameworks you have claimed compliance with.
GRI content index requirements, ISSB S1 and S2 disclosure requirements, ESRS topic-level requirements, SASB industry metrics – each is mapped systematically, with gaps, incomplete disclosures and framework misalignments identified and flagged before the substantive assurance work begins.
This automated mapping layer alone replaces weeks of manual framework analysis and gives your Speeki engagement team a structured, evidence-linked view of your report from day one.
Data ingestion and connection to source systems
Sustainability data is never held in one place. Engage connects to your data lakes, internal reporting systems, ERP platforms, environmental monitoring tools, HR systems and other data sources through APIs and direct integrations, pulling source data into the platform and linking it to the disclosures it supports.
Where direct integration is not available, structured data upload workflows ensure that every metric disclosed in your sustainability report is traceable to the underlying data that produced it.
The result is an evidence architecture that your Speeki assurance team can interrogate at the data level – not just at the disclosure level.
Evidence management and document organisation
Every document, calculation, methodology note, third-party verification and supporting record relevant to your sustainability disclosures is stored, organised and linked within the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform.
Evidence is tagged to specific disclosures, framework requirements and assurance procedures – so when your Speeki auditor needs to review the evidence behind a Scope 3 calculation, a human rights due diligence process or a water intensity metric, it is immediately accessible, fully organised and linked to the disclosure it supports. No evidence requests.
No email chains. No last-minute document scrambles.
Nicole® AI – the assurance engine inside the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform
Nicole® is Speeki's agentic AI system, embedded directly into the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform and operating as an active participant in every Speeki Guardian® engagement.
Nicole® performs the systematic, high-volume analytical work that scales the engagement beyond what a traditional team could achieve manually, reviewing evidence for consistency with disclosed metrics, identifying anomalies and gaps across large data volumes, cross-referencing disclosures against framework requirements, flagging potential material misstatements for practitioner review and maintaining a structured audit trail of every analytical procedure performed.
Nicole® does not replace practitioner judgment. Every finding Nicole® surfaces is reviewed, assessed and concluded upon by a qualified Speeki auditor. What Nicole® does is ensure that nothing is missed, that the analytical coverage is comprehensive and that the engagement moves faster and deeper than any manual process can replicate.
Gap analysis and pre-assurance readiness
Before substantive assurance procedures begin, the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform generates a structured gap analysis of your sustainability report against the applicable frameworks – identifying disclosures that are absent, incomplete or inconsistent with framework requirements.
This pre-assurance readiness assessment gives your team the opportunity to address gaps before they become assurance findings, reducing the risk of material issues emerging late in the engagement and significantly improving the efficiency of the assurance process for both sides.
Auditor-client collaboration workspace
Every Speeki Guardian® engagement operates as a shared workspace inside the Speeki Engage® | ESG and Sustainability Assurance platform – your sustainability team and your Speeki auditors working in the same environment, with full visibility of requests, responses, findings and progress in real time. Information requests are issued, tracked and responded to inside the platform. Findings are raised, discussed and resolved without leaving the engagement environment.
The entire engagement record – every procedure performed, every piece of evidence reviewed, every finding raised and resolved – is maintained in a complete, permanent audit trail that satisfies the documentation requirements of ISSA 5000 and AA1000AS v3.
Self-verification is the first step.
Independent assurance is the next.
Speeki Engage self-verification is a powerful and valuable process in its own right. For many organisations it provides exactly the level of verification their governance, their board, and their stakeholders require.
But for organisations that need to go further — where regulators mandate assurance, where investors require it, where board governance demands it, or where the organisation simply wants the added credibility that independent verification provides — Speeki Guardian is the natural next step.
Speeki Guardian is Speeki's independent assurance product for sustainability statements. Once your self-verification is complete — your report is mapped, your evidence is uploaded, your gaps are closed — your Speeki auditor steps into the same platform.
They review your disclosures. They assess the evidence uploaded against each requirement. They form an independent assurance opinion on whether your sustainability statement meets the applicable standard. All within Speeki Engage. No document exchanges. No email chains. No starting from scratch. The self-verification work you have done becomes the foundation of the assurance engagement.
Our assurance engagements are conducted by qualified, experienced assurance professionals operating under rigorous quality management standards.
Getting started
Adding ESG reporting frameworks to Speeki Engage is straightforward.
Select your applicable frameworks — CSRD, GRI, TCFD, SASB, TNFD, or a combination — and they are activated in your Speeki Engage account immediately. Your team begins mapping your sustainability report against the requirements, uploading evidence, and building the verified, evidenced picture of your disclosures that regulators, investors, and assurance providers increasingly expect.
If you subsequently want independent assurance through Speeki Guardian, that engagement begins where your self-verification ends — in the same platform, with the same evidence, without starting over.
