About Greenfi and Its AI Solutions

Established in 2023 by Barun Chandran, Greenfi offers an AI-driven environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk management platform. This innovative platform automates compliance and due diligence processes for businesses. It empowers organisations to evaluate sustainability performance, manage ESG-related risks, and receive immediate, role-specific recommendations without depending on extensive consulting teams.

Streamlining ESG Due Diligence

Greenfi’s solution allows financial institutions and corporations to expedite ESG due diligence procedures that would typically require weeks of manual effort. For instance, in the case of investment initiatives, such as a $100 million solar energy project, the platform automates the data gathering and analysis process, delivering actionable insights in real time.

Client Base and Industry Reach

The company has established a diverse client portfolio across Singapore, Japan, and the UK, serving various sectors including fashion, agriculture, retail, banking, and manufacturing. With a workforce of 16 employees, the firm has streamlined operations significantly by deploying AI systems that now handle over 60% of its tasks.

Positioning Against Traditional Consulting Firms

Greenfi positions itself as a technology-driven alternative to conventional consulting firms such as McKinsey, KPMG, and PwC, thereby redefining the landscape of ESG risk management.
