Sustainability teams are stretched. That's not news to anyone doing the work.
What's less obvious from the outside is how much of the job has nothing to do with strategy. A CDP deadline means weeks of cross-referencing registry documents. Sales needs carbon credit talking points for an RFP by end of day. Someone in HR wants to know the emissions footprint of the company offsite. And all of it lands on the same one or two people.
We hear this from nearly every customer we work with. The ambition is there, but the bandwidth isn't, and that gap is where programs stall.
That's why we built Sage.
Sage is CNaught's AI-powered sustainability assistant, built specifically for the questions and workflows that sustainability professionals deal with on a regular basis. It's not a general-purpose chatbot.
Sage draws from CNaught's internal databases, including our rigorous due diligence analysis, third-party ratings, verified emissions factors, and project documentation, so the answers it gives are grounded in the same data your team already trusts.
In practice, that means Sage can help you calculate emissions for a team offsite, pull specific details about the additionality of a reforestation project in your portfolio, draft responses for a CDP report, or flag recent developments that could affect your carbon credit purchases.
It handles the research and number-crunching so your team can focus on the work that actually moves the needle.
A few things Sage is already helping teams with:
Need to know the carbon footprint of 80 people flying to a company retreat and staying three nights at a hotel? Sage calculates it instantly, no spreadsheet required. It covers flights, ground transport, hotel stays, and even employee AI usage, drawing from verified emissions factors so the numbers hold up. (Try our emissions calculator to see it in action.)
When a stakeholder asks why you should be confident in the additionality of your credits, Sage pulls from our portfolio assessment data, project documentation, and third-party ratings to give you a specific, defensible answer. No more digging through PDFs.
Whether it's AB 1305 disclosures or CDP Section 7.79.1, Sage surfaces the serial numbers, registry information, retirement status, and project details you need to complete your reporting.
Medium's journey is a good example of how this plays out. After offsetting emissions from a company offsite and seeing strong employee engagement, the team wanted to expand their climate program. The challenge was familiar: no dedicated sustainability headcount and limited bandwidth to take on something as complex as measuring cloud compute emissions.
"Sage is enabling us to measure and offset our cloud compute emissions for the first time, which would have been prohibitively time-consuming to tackle manually. It gives us an advanced level of help that would be difficult for us to replicate at this stage in our company's journey.”
—Brik Olson, Employee Engagement Manager at Medium
That pattern keeps showing up. Teams aren't looking for a tool they'll use every day. They need something reliable for the high-stakes moments: the annual report, the investor question, the RFP that lands on a Friday afternoon.
Sage is available now to all CNaught customers at no additional cost. If you're already logged in, you can start a conversation right from your dashboard.
Whether you're a team of one preparing for reporting season or a growing program looking to do more with less, Sage is built to meet you where you are.
