From 3 Years to 5 Minutes: How AI Is Revolutionizing Sustainability Reporting

Written by Duncan Luke van Niekerk | Jul 14, 2025 7:04:18 AM

One truth has long held firm: collecting meaningful data takes forever. For many innovators and project leaders, simply defining their indicators can take months—sometimes even years. By the time reports are compiled, insights are often outdated or irrelevant. But what if that wasn’t true anymore?

A Breakthrough Worth Sharing

One of our pilot users recently proved just how fast, simple, and powerful impact reporting can become when AI does the heavy lifting.

Leafline Pty Ltd, an innovator tackling period poverty with eco-friendly sanitary products, used Susurate to launch their initiative: Eco-Friendly Sanitary Solutions. Within minutes, they were able to generate custom impact indicators, collect stakeholder data, and complete their first AI-paired report—a milestone that usually takes 3 to 36 months.

 

🕒 Time taken with AI: Under 5 minutes
🐌 Time taken without AI: 3 months to 3 years

 

Let’s look at the early results.

 

What the AI Revealed in the First Report

 

1. High Product Sales

In just one month, the initiative sold 1,500 washable sanitary products, highlighting strong demand and a successful outreach strategy.

➡️ Next step: Continue tracking trends and consider expanding product lines or production.

2. Sustainable Sourcing & Waste Management

The team sourced 50 kg of pineapple leaves while generating just 10 kg of waste, showing real environmental commitment from the start.

➡️ Next step: Explore even lower-waste processes and new sustainable inputs.

These insights aren’t just interesting—they’re actionable. And they were generated automatically, without a consultant, a data team, or endless spreadsheets.
