How Pioneers Turn Proof Into Progress

Sarah: Many companies are doing great sustainability work, but often struggle to prove it when stakeholders request proof. How does Sunhat help?

Ali: That’s exactly the problem we solve. Often, companies don’t lack ESG efforts - they lack proof. When investors, regulators or colleagues ask for evidence, many organizations can’t provide it. With Sunhats Collaborative Proof Platform, every action, every document, every data point is linked to a source and a responsible owner. Suddenly, your work becomes verifiable and audit-ready.

Sarah: How is the AI Sunhat uses - “Proof AI” - different from others?

Ali: Other AI models, generic AI models - struggle without context. Sunhats Proof AI is context-aware. It understands the relationships between your documents, indicators and data. It doesn’t just summarize information; it gives you insights that are traceable and trustworthy. Data without context is often worthless. That’s why at Sunhat, we turn it into audit-ready proof. Proof AI discovers proof from your systems and shows exactly where it applies; it monitors the quality and alerts you to expirations
and missing data. And last but not least - it builds answers you can trust - every claim links to its source.

Sarah: Can you give an example of how this works in practice?

Ali: Sure. We often hear from customers like EnBW, Geberit or Ingredion that our AI answers questions from stakeholders or for questionnaires really well, with sources attached perfectly. The AI-generated text is ready to go.

Our upcoming AI Chat feature will make it even easier for teams to interact with data, ask questions, and generate verified outputs instantly.

With Sunhat and Proof AI, I can instantly find previous answers or create tailored ones from our reports and polices.

Sarah: Interesting! But how do you ensure Proof AI remains reliable?

Ali: It’s about teamwork between our AI engineers and our sustainability experts. We give Proof AI a clear framework. Plus, we continuously integrate the latest models - like Google Gemini and Mistral - and actively leverage agentic AI, staying at the forefront of what’s technically possible to automate tasks in a responsible and traceable way.

Instead of manually scanning hundreds of report pages, we now let Sunhat's Proof AI bring everything together into one clear, ready-to-use answer.

Sarah: Sunhat recently closed 9.2 Mio. Series A funding. How will that be used?

Ali: We’re for sure expanding our team of AI engineers, embedding domain knowledge deeper into product development. We plan to double our headcount in general in the next 12 months. Further, we will develop our platform beyond ESG data to instantly validate compliance with 100+ global standards and certifications.

Sarah: Sounds great! Bottom line: Why should a company choose a Collaborative Proof Platform?

Ali: Because proof matters. Dispersed knowledge becomes actionable, verifiable, and auditable. You’re not just collecting data - you’re making sustainability efforts tangible and trustworthy.
