A value-creation plan for sustainability,
across every company you own

The platform maps every portfolio company and prices its actions, so the investment and the sustainability team work from the same numbers.

  1. Sustainability capital allocation map

    Each portfolio company gets its own Sustainability Capital Allocation map, built from the documents it already has.

    Every action on the map is priced: the EBITDA it creates or protects, what it costs, what it pays back.

    Actions are sorted as

    • Required
    • Value protection (EBITDA at risk)
    • Value creation (new EBITDA)
    • Deprioritise
    123456789
  2. Shared insights and playbooks

    Sustainability insights and best practices of one company may become the next steps for another company in fund’s portfolio.

    Each new map starts from what the portfolio has already proven. Best practice travels across the portfolio instead of being found twice.

  3. Reports when actions call for them

    A report is never a separate project. Due diligences, sustainability linked loans, exit preparation – each is produced from the same maps the actions came from, when a decision demands for it.

    The analysis already exists; the document is its output signed off by Axion Lab’s expert.

How Axion Lab works

One rule runs through every step: the platform does the production work; senior experts own the judgement.

01/ 06
  1. 01

    Scoping call with an expert

    We agree who the report is for and what it needs to cover.

  2. 02

    Data intake

    You send the files you already have, as they are.

  3. 03

    AI draft and Q&A

    The platform analyses everything you sent, drafts the full report, and asks only what your documents could not answer.

  4. 04

    Expert during the work

    While the report is being built, you can pull the expert in: a call, a working session, a second opinion on the draft.

  5. 05

    The final report

    The expert signs the report; you keep it, along with the data and the model behind the numbers.

  6. 06

    Expert after delivery

    Questions after delivery go to the same expert who can respond to additional questions.

The compromise you no longer make

  1. Ready for investment committee, board, and third-party review

    Format tailored for your board, lender, investor, client or regulator.

  2. Know what to act on first

    Priority actions that affect the deal, value creation, fundraising or financing with plain advice on what to deprioritise. A dashboard shows data. Axion Lab provides a decision.

  3. Signed by sustainability experts

    Senior sustainability professionals with experience working in private markets and Fortune 500 companies.

  4. Fully transparent in calculations

    All methodologies, calculations and assumptions are open and documented.

FAQ

A Sustainability Capital Allocation map for each portfolio company, delivered in our platform and signed by a named senior expert. The map shows which sustainability actions create or protect EBITDA, what each costs, what each returns, and which to skip.

When a decision needs a formal document, such as a buy-side due diligence report, a carbon footprint, a decarbonisation pathway, or a vendor due diligence report, we produce that document from the same map.

Our clients are private equity funds and their portfolio companies.

The finished work may be read by others: the deal team, the investment committee, the board, a lender, the fund’s investors (LPs), a customer, or a regulator. We agree at the start who will read it, and we build it for that reader.

A named senior sustainability expert scopes the work, chooses the method, reviews the analysis, takes responsibility for the conclusions, and signs the final deliverable.

The signature is not an audit and not an independent assurance opinion. If you need either, you appoint a third party for it. We prepare the work so that the auditor or assurance provider can trace every figure, source, and assumption.

The platform reads your documents, extracts the data, runs the calculations, benchmarks the results, writes the first draft, and lists the questions your documents leave unanswered.

The expert sets the scope, makes the judgement calls on method and assumptions, checks the analysis, interprets the results, and signs. You can speak to the expert during the project and after delivery.

What we keep from each project is the method, not your data. Our templates, calculation methods, and review checks improve with every project. We do not keep client files, and we never use client data to train models.

First, we agree who the work is for and what it must cover. Then you send the documents you already have, as they are. For a deal, that is the data room. For a portfolio company, it is previous reports, policies, operational data, invoices, or board materials. There is no long questionnaire to complete before we begin.

The platform builds the first draft and asks only the questions the documents could not answer. The expert reviews the draft with you, signs the final deliverable, and stays available for questions after delivery.

We use the best available source and show where the evidence ends. If a figure must be estimated, we label it as an estimate and state what it is based on.

On the map, actions that cannot yet be quantified appear under “Get more information”, with the missing data named. They are not buried inside a calculation as an assumption. Every number that affects the conclusion links to a source or to a written assumption.

Yes. That is the point of the platform. Every portfolio company gets its own Sustainability Capital Allocation map, built on the same scope and definitions, so the fund sees the whole portfolio on one set of numbers.

What one company has shown to work becomes the next company’s starting point, so the fund does not pay twice for the same answer. Each company still keeps its own evidence, calculations, and assumptions, so a common method does not hide the real differences between companies.

Your sustainability lead stays in charge. They hold the company knowledge, the relationships with management, the priorities, and the final say. We take the production work: reading the files, building the analysis, benchmarking performance, and drafting the deliverable.

Your team keeps the decisions and gains the time to act on them.

A consultancy can produce similar work, billed by the hour, and starts from scratch each time a new priority appears. Our platform does the repeatable production work and senior experts make the judgement calls. That is why we charge less than a consultancy and deliver faster.

Sustainability software collects and organises data. Someone on your team still has to set the scope, close the gaps, write the report, and defend it in front of a board or lender. A dashboard shows data. Our deliverable ends in a decision: which actions to take and which to skip.

Generative AI on its own is fast and covers a lot of ground, but no practitioner validates its estimates and recommendations. Ours are validated: an expert you can call reviews and signs every conclusion.

We show the source, the calculation, and the assumption behind the figure. The expert who signed the work answers the questions and explains the judgement used.

When we scope the deliverable, we agree which standard or framework it follows. The deliverable states that standard, where the data came from, and which assumptions were needed. Where a standard requires an audit or an assurance opinion, that opinion comes from a third party you appoint. Our role is preparation and review.

We cannot promise that a third party will accept every conclusion. We can make the work traceable and stand behind how it was prepared. In one case, a company’s submission to its lender under a sustainability-linked loan had been stalled for 18 months. Our work cleared it.

You do. You keep the maps, the final deliverables, the supporting data, and the calculation model behind the numbers. Your access to the platform continues after the project ends, and you can also take all of it out of the platform to pass to your own advisers or reviewers.

We operate in the European Union and comply with the GDPR and the EU AI Act. Your data is encrypted end to end, kept separate for each project, and never used to train models. The source files you send are not kept after delivery. Your maps and deliverables stay available to you in the platform. Access, deletion, and confidentiality terms for a specific deal can be agreed before any files are shared.

Yes. You can start with a free trial on three portfolio companies of your choice.

You send the documents you already have. We return a Sustainability Capital Allocation map for each company, showing which actions create or protect EBITDA, what each costs, and what each returns. Then a senior expert walks you through the results in a one-hour call. The maps stay yours, and so does your access to the platform, whatever you decide next.

A consultancy cannot make this offer. Its revenue is billed hours, so giving away a project costs it the project. Our revenue is not billed hours, which is the whole reason we can start this way.

and we will come back to you with the dates for your trial.
