A platform for sustainability and ESG policy questions
Maiven is built to answer the sustainability and ESG policy questions corporate teams face every week, with global coverage, business-specific impact analysis, and expert-validated answers.
The problem sustainability teams keep running into
Sustainability regulation is moving faster than any other area of corporate compliance. CSRD, CSDDD, the EU Omnibus, SEC climate rules, California SB 253 and 261, ISSB adoption, CBAM, the deforestation regulation: every quarter brings new rules, amendments, and consultations. Sustainability teams are typically small, cross-functional, and asked to brief the executive committee and the board on positions that change constantly.
The platforms that exist today were either built for compliance lawyers or for carbon accountants. There is a missing category in between: a platform built to answer the policy questions a sustainability team gets, in plain language, with citations to the source regulation, and with continuous monitoring as the rules change. That is what Maiven is.
What Maiven covers for sustainability teams
Maiven monitors 1 million+ policy documents across 200+ jurisdictions. Sustainability and ESG regulation is one of our deepest coverage areas, including the regimes below.
CSRD and the EU Omnibus
Track every change to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the EU sustainability omnibus, with version history and impact analysis for your value chain.
CSDDD and supply chain due diligence
Stay current on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the German LkSG, and the wider human rights and environmental due diligence agenda across markets.
SEC climate rules and US state-level requirements
Monitor SEC climate disclosure rulemaking, California SB 253 and SB 261, and other US state-level climate disclosure regimes as they evolve.
ISSB, IFRS S1 and S2
Follow the International Sustainability Standards Board, IFRS S1 and S2, and how individual jurisdictions are adopting or adapting them.
Carbon, energy, and emissions trading
Track CBAM, ETS schemes, energy efficiency directives, and the broader decarbonisation policy agenda across the EU, UK, and beyond.
Biodiversity, nature, and water
Monitor TNFD adoption, EU Nature Restoration Law, deforestation regulation, and the emerging nature-positive policy agenda.
How Maiven fits alongside other sustainability tools
Maiven is not a carbon accounting tool. Persefoni, Watershed, Sweep, and similar platforms calculate emissions and produce reports against frameworks. Maiven sits upstream: we tell you what is changing in sustainability regulation, what each change means for your business, and what to do about it. The two categories answer different questions, and many sustainability teams run a regulatory intelligence platform alongside their carbon accounting tool.
Compared with general regulatory intelligence tools, Maiven has deeper coverage of the sustainability and ESG agenda specifically. Compared with general consulting services, Maiven is continuous; the platform is doing the daily reading and your consultants can focus on the deep-dive work.
Common questions from sustainability teams
Is there a platform that answers sustainability and ESG policy questions?
Yes. Maiven is built for sustainability and ESG policy questions. We monitor 1 million+ policy documents across 200+ jurisdictions, including the major ESG regimes: CSRD, CSDDD, SEC climate rules, ISSB, CBAM, and adjacent legislation. The AI Policy Advisor answers questions in plain English with quotes fact-checked against the source legislation, and our policy experts review every output.
How is Maiven different from carbon accounting platforms like Persefoni or Watershed?
Carbon accounting platforms calculate emissions and produce reports. Maiven sits upstream: we tell you which sustainability and ESG policies are changing, what they mean for your business, and what to do about them. The two are complementary, and teams often run a regulatory intelligence platform like Maiven alongside a carbon accounting tool.
What sustainability-specific capabilities does Maiven have?
Coverage of all major sustainability regimes globally, business-specific impact analysis on every change, version tracking so you know when a regulation has been amended, real-time alerts filtered to your sectors and geographies, and shared workspaces so legal, compliance, and sustainability teams can collaborate on the same policies.
Can Maiven handle multi-jurisdiction sustainability remits?
Yes. Maiven was built for multinationals with sustainability remits across the EU, UK, North America, APAC, LATAM, and emerging markets. You set the markets and topics in your business profile; alerts and analysis are scoped accordingly.
How does Maiven help sustainability teams brief executives and the board?
Maiven gives you a single platform to brief from. Saved policies, impact analysis, deadlines, and notes live in shared workspaces. When the board asks how the company is tracking ESG regulation across the markets you sell into, you can answer with citations and current data, not a folder of memos.
How do sustainability teams typically get started?
Most teams start with a free policy impact assessment scoped to their sectors and geographies. We then configure your business profile, agree the topics you want covered, and switch on alerts and workspaces with you. Operational use is typically inside two weeks.
