ESG and impact reporting for startups
ESG reporting becomes understandable instead of intimidating.
For the German Startup Association, we built a web app that structures sustainability questions, filters relevance and produces usable reports.

SUSI
Case study
Case in focus
The relevant lever, not just a feature list.
Strong digital products do not solve everything at once. They focus the process that truly matters for users and the business.
ESG reporting was too complex, abstract and hard to translate into a clear process for many startups.
Browser-based tool with relevance filters, guidance and automated PDF reporting.
A clearer entry point into sustainability reporting for startup teams.
Implementation
What we actually built.
The technical solution follows the use case: clear roles, clean data logic and an interface that does not get in the way.
Relevance filters
Startups answer questions relevant to their industry, size and stage.
Guidance
Guidance and examples make ESG criteria easier to understand.
PDF reporting
Answers and metrics are turned into a usable report.
Web app
The solution runs in the browser and stays accessible for different teams.
Screens
Screens that show the product core.
Visual quality is not decoration. What matters is that users understand faster what to do next.
Process
How it became a reliable digital product.
The process tightly connects strategy, UX and engineering. This keeps the product focused and evolvable after launch.
Reduce complexity
ESG requirements were translated into understandable user questions.
Model the logic
Relevance, dependencies and report structure were built as clear product logic.
Build UX and web app
The interface was designed for orientation, low friction and clean inputs.
Generate reports
The inputs are translated into an exportable report at the end.
