Assurance before you submit to ESG ratings agencies.
Speeki RatingsReady™ is the independent assurance over your ESG data before it reaches the rater's inbox. Made super easy through our technology platform and AI.
Speeki RatingsReady™ ESG Ratings Submission Assurance
Your ESG rating influences your cost of capital, investor perception, customer decisions, and competitive positioning.
Yet most organisations discover that rating downgrades and poor assessments stem not from poor performance but from incomplete submissions, misaligned responses, and inconsistencies between what was submitted and what was disclosed publicly.
RatingsReady closes that gap. It is independent assurance over your ESG data before it reaches the rater's inbox.
The Problem we solve..
ESG ratings agencies — CDP, EcoVadis, S&P CSA, MSCI, Sustainalytics rely on data you supply or that is drawn from your public disclosures.
That data is self-reported. It is rarely independently verified. The absence of independent assurance is becoming a liability not just a gap.
The data behind your rating is unverified. You cannot confidently stand behind a score built on data no one has independently reviewed.
Your score may not reflect your actual performance. Submission errors, unanswered questions, and unsupported claims leave value on the table — and expose you to challenge.
Investors and customers are beginning to ask. The question is no longer whether your submission is independent it is when you will be able to prove it.
How it works in practice.

Scoping and platform mapping
We identify the ratings platforms in scope, map the data points each platform relies on, and agree the assurance boundaries with your team. If possible, we connect through API’s the relevant ratings ageny into our Speeki Engage® | ESG & Sustainability Assurance platform to facilitate data transfers.
Data evidence review
Nicole, Speeki's agentic AI system, ingests your draft submission through Speeki Engage® | ESG & Sustainability Assurance platform, maps each response against the target framework's requirements, and identifies gaps, inconsistencies, and unsupported claims. A structured review file is prepared for the assurance team.
Findings and gap report
A Speeki assurance expert reviews the data and justification and produces a structured findings report — surfacing every unsupported claim and control weakness before you submit, while there is still time to address them.
RatingsReady Assurance Letter issued
On completion, Speeki issues a signed RatingsReady Assurance Letter confirming the data reviewed, the scope of the engagement, and our conclusions. The letter is signed by a Speeki lead auditor and is referenceable in investor communications and public disclosures. All of this within the Speeki Engage® | ESG & Sustainability Assurance platform.
If you are already using Speeki and our Speeki Engage® | ESG & Sustainability Assurance platform for other products, this gets a whole lot easier and significantly more powerful as the platform can access more data and make more connections.
You may also need our carbon emissions verification solution for some submissions.
Speeki CarbonLens™ is our GHG verification solution
Speeki Carbon Lens™ is our GHG verification solution that is likely needed as part of your submissions to some agencies.
Whether or not you are submitting your carbon emissions numbers according to the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064 to ratings agencies, best practice is always to have these verified.
Nicole® knows your business and the rating systems.
Nicole — built for this, not retrofitted to it
Nicole is Speeki's agentic AI system, purpose-built for ESG and sustainability assurance work. Unlike general-purpose AI tools adapted for compliance use, Nicole has been trained on the full landscape of ESG ratings frameworks, sustainability disclosure standards, and assurance methodologies including the specific question structures, scoring logic, and evidentiary requirements of CDP, EcoVadis, S&P CSA, MSCI, and Sustainalytics.
She understands not just what each platform asks, but why it asks it and what a credible, well-supported response looks like. When Nicole reviews a draft submission, she is not running a generic consistency check. She is applying framework-specific knowledge to identify the gaps, misalignments, and unsupported claims that cause real ratings outcomes to diverge from actual performance.
Trained on Speeki's institutional knowledge
Nicole has also been trained on Speeki's own accumulated assurance expertise the methodologies, audit protocols, evidence standards, and quality frameworks that underpin Speeki's ISO 17021-1 accredited operations.
That means Nicole brings institutional knowledge that no off-the-shelf tool can replicate: she knows how Speeki's auditors think, what evidence they require, and what standard a submission must meet before a Speeki assurance expert will sign off on it.
Under Speeki's HIITR governance model — Human In The Loop To Review — Nicole prepares the structured review file and surfaces every finding, but every RatingsReady Assurance Letter is reviewed and signed by an Speeki lead auditor. The result is the speed and depth of AI-powered review, backed by the rigour and accountability of human assurance.
