About ImpactEdge

For Those Who Believe Business Can Be a Force for Good

You chose sustainability because you believe in something bigger. You fight for change in a world that often resists it. You carry the weight of the planet on your shoulders—and the responsibility of proving that doing good is also good business.

We built ImpactEdge to stand beside you—to accelerate your mission, amplify your impact, and help all of us succeed in the work that matters most.

Our Mission

We Believe in the People Fighting for Our Planet

Behind every sustainability report is a person who chose this path because they believe in something bigger than themselves. Someone who sees beyond quarterly earnings to the world we're leaving behind. Someone who fights for change in boardrooms, on factory floors, and across global supply chains.

We built ImpactEdge for you.

Because your work matters. Because the hours you spend wrestling with fragmented data, navigating complex regulations, and making the business case for doing the right thing—that work is shaping the future. You deserve tools that don't just make your job easier, but help you move your mission forward. When you succeed, we all succeed.

Our Promise to You

"We will never stop working to make your impact greater, your voice stronger, and your mission unstoppable."

Accelerate your mission, not just your reporting
Turn your data into undeniable proof of progress
Make sustainability impossible for leadership to ignore
Our Story

Born from Frustration. Built with Purpose.

We've sat where you sit. We've felt the weight of impossible expectations, inadequate tools, and the lonely burden of being the conscience of an organization.

Frame 1/6

We Saw Brilliant People Being Failed by Their Tools

Sustainability leaders pouring their hearts into work that matters—only to spend 80% of their time wrestling with spreadsheets, chasing data across silos, and defending numbers they couldn't fully trust. We watched passionate professionals burn out, not from the mission, but from the mechanics. That had to change.

Frame 2/6

A Team That Refused to Accept the Status Quo

We came together—sustainability veterans who understood the mission and Silicon Valley technologists who knew what was possible. Co-created with The Fabric, a pre-Series A foundry in Silicon Valley, we asked ourselves: "What if we built the platform that sustainability professionals actually deserve?"

Frame 3/6

Built on Four Decades of Sustainability Science

This isn't a technology company that discovered sustainability. Our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Ram Ramanan, helped write the standards the world now follows—from the GHG Protocol to the Equator Principles that evolved into the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. His life's work is embedded in every line of our platform.

Frame 4/6

We Listened. Really Listened.

We spent countless hours with sustainability leaders around the world—not selling, but listening. We heard the same story everywhere: "I need a unified solution that helps me manage my entire function, not another point solution that adds to my complexity." Your frustrations became our blueprint.

Frame 5/6

Years of Work on the Hardest Problems

We invested years developing our advanced, patented data platform—not because it was easy, but because it was necessary. We solved the hardest challenges in sustainability: comprehensive data coverage, multi-tier value chain visibility, and complete data trust. Because you can't change what you can't trust.

Frame 6/6

From Burden to Breakthrough

Today, ImpactEdge is more than a platform—it's a partner in your mission. We've built a sustainability performance engine that elevates your work from compliance burden to strategic advantage, from reporting obligation to measurable value creation. Because when you succeed, we all succeed.

"Every feature we build, every problem we solve, every line of code we write—it all comes back to one question: Does this help sustainability professionals make a bigger impact?"
