We are Sunhat

And we’re committed to empowering sustainability teams to achieve maximum impact with their work.

Where it all started

While working at his previous company, a European venture capital firm, Lukas encountered the tedious process of answering sustainability questionnaires. He was eager to find a solution and discussed the problem with Ali and Alex, two tech-savvy friends from his network. When he approached them, Ali was working in B2B SaaS at an enterprise architecture management company and Alex was driving business innovation on the corporate side by implementing automation software.

After talking to dozens of companies, they discovered that sustainability teams spend hours responding to various questionnaires from customers and other stakeholders using emails and cloud documents. The manual and clunky processing often exceeded the capacity of the responsible teams. Lukas, Ali and Alex decided to join forces to create a better way for companies to manage the ever-increasing sustainability demands.

And that's how Sunhat was created.

About Sunhat

Sunhat was founded to shape the way companies exchange sustainability information with their internal and external stakeholders. At Sunhat, we're big believers in sustainability as the foundation for all products and services. We truly think that technology can play a key role in supporting businesses and achieving this vision. Sunhat streamlines the entire process, from mapping requirements to preparing and maintaining the requested information, empowering sustainability teams to deliver audit-ready responses — at the drop of a hat.

Proud Recognition: Our AI innovations are supported by the government!

We are proud to have received the seal of the Certification Office for Research Allowance on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research! As a progressive software company, we are supported by the German government to advance continuous innovation. Thanks to this funding, we receive additional resources to further develop our proprietary ESG language model, which helps companies efficiently process ESG questionnaires using artificial intelligence. With our technology, our customers can not only achieve their sustainability goals faster but also communicate their sustainable commitment more precisely and effectively to various stakeholders.

What we believe in

Inspired by our vision, our values and beliefs motivate us in our day-to-day work. They are our operating principles that guide how we thrive as a team and how we engage with our customers.

Simplicity is not enough

To achieve our vision, we strive to continuously improve and grow. We do so in the shared knowledge and experience that practice makes perfect.

An iterative approach

We have an iterative state of mind, and we’re in it for the long haul. We know that leaps are made of 100s of little steps. Together, we form long-term relationships to support our customers’ sustainability programs that will iterate over time.

A meeting of minds

Whenever we work together as a team and partner with our customers, it’s a meeting of minds. Minds that seek excellence. That have an unwavering commitment to sustainability. We aspire to move forward by taking incremental but sophisticated steps.
