New Verdantix report highlights how Sweep’s AI agents transform technical sustainability workflows into conversational experiences
Paris, France – December 4, 2025 – Sweep, a leading European sustainability data platform, is transforming how businesses manage carbon accounting and ESG reporting through groundbreaking artificial intelligence capabilities, according to a new report from independent research and advisory firm Verdantix. The report, titled “Sweep AI Transforms Technical Jobs Into Conversation-Driven Automation,” reveals how Sweep’s “sustainability intelligence layer” embeds AI agents throughout its platform, enabling users to complete complex technical tasks through natural language conversations.
Report author Ryan Skinner, Research Director at Verdantix, said: “Sweep is most relevant for large enterprises seeking a broad sustainability platform with excellent usability. The agentic AI further enhances the usability of the Sweep platform.”
Rachel Delacour, CEO and cofounder of Sweep, added: “Our AI momentum means unparalleled efficiency for our clients who are battling the data-intensive world of decarbonization. We are transforming complex data workflows into simple conversational prompts. This means our clients win: they can act on their sustainability goals faster, and with more accuracy, to drive real ROI for their business.”
Verdantix analysis notes that enterprises typically spend over 1,000 hours annually on emissions data collection and another 500+ hours on calculations. Sweep’s AI delivers significant time savings, with French manufacturer Qwetch reporting processes previously taking hours were reduced to “seconds or minutes” depending on the complexity of the task.
Sweep has developed four distinct AI agents to drive core workflows:
- Platform assistant Agent (“Sweepy”): Provides conversational navigation with memory persistence.
- Builder Agent: Creates data workflows and visualizations from conversational prompts.
- Analyst Agent: Automates data configuration and emissions factor selection.
- Writer Agent: Generates automated vendor survey responses and disclosure drafts.
Sweep built its AI capabilities through the strategic acquisition of UK-based startup Consequence in early 2024 to establish a dedicated “AI center of excellence” to drive innovation. The company enforces strict Responsible AI standards, maintaining compliance with ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and the EU AI Act (minimal risk classification). Sweep guarantees customer data privacy: no client data trains or fine-tunes our large language models.
Yannick Chaze, CTO and cofounder of Sweep, concludes: “Our agentic AI approach is designed to embed intelligence directly into workflows to scale our client’s expertise, helping them save hours of tactical work, so that they can leverage the insights to drive business improvements.”
Verdantix research indicates nearly half of decarbonization leaders surveyed in 2025 agreed their IT teams were vetting climate software specifically for AI capabilities, underscoring the market demand Sweep is addressing across the entire maturity spectrum.
