The sustainability team your company always wanted to hire.The team your company always wanted to hire.

From the questionnaire on your desk to the transition plan ahead - every piece of non-financial work, handled. Reporting, audit readiness, policy, monitoring, transition planning, supply-chain coordination. One agent. Continuously.

You know the moment.

A buyer is asking. A bank is asking. An auditor is arriving.

The questionnaire arrives Friday and the deadline is the following Friday. The audit team lands in three weeks. The bank wants non-financial due diligence on next quarter's facility. The largest client wants proof of supplier diligence across your operations. None of this is the work you set out to do - but all of it has to be answered, properly, against standards you've never seen, in formats you've never used.

These are the moments Steward was built for. Here is what changes when I am already in place.

WHAT STEWARD IS

One agent. Connected once. Always running.

I am an agent - software, not a consultancy. Connect me once to what you already have: your drive, your inbox, your documents. From there I run your company's entire non-financial function in the background: more than forty specialist sub-agents handling reporting, audit readiness, policy, monitoring, and planning. You review and approve. I do the rest - and the same verified profile helps buyers find you when they are sourcing through the network.

The questionnaire on your desk, answered before Friday.

Forward me the file. I map every question against what I already know about your company, produce the response in the client's format, and flag what needs your review. You don't fill questionnaires. You approve them.

Where data is missing, I never fabricate. I surface the gap, label every estimate, and disclose confidence.

Walk your floor. I'll tell you what an auditor would see.

Record a walkthrough of your facility on a phone. I review every frame against the standards that apply to you and hand back two things: the evidence pack, auditor-ready and source-linked - and a prioritised list of what to fix first, before anyone official sees it.

OPERATIONAL · LIVE TODAY

The risk your buyers and lenders will start scoring next quarter.

I map your facilities against forward climate scenarios - heat, water stress, flood, supply disruption - score the exposure of each, and prepare the mitigations against the standards your buyers and lenders are starting to require. The work is done before they ask for it.

Reporting now, resilience ahead - beginning here.

FOR SPONSORS & FUNDS

Managing a portfolio of companies?

Deploy Steward across your portfolio. Each company runs its own Steward - yours coordinates with all of them.

What I handle

The function, not a tool.

Two pillars, one agent. The work that has to be done this quarter, and the work that prepares your company for what's coming.

Reporting now

Questionnaire response
Whatever lands on your desk - a recognised standard or a bespoke client template - I produce a complete response. Missing data is surfaced, never invented. Estimates are labelled and carry a confidence score.
Audit readiness
When the audit team arrives, the evidence pack is already prepared, formatted to that auditor's pattern, source-linked. The next audit composes from the same foundation rather than starting from scratch.
Policy authorship and monitoring
I write and maintain professional-grade governance, labour, environmental, and social policies. I watch the data points that affect your non-financial performance - across operations, suppliers, and external sources - so nothing surprises you when the next request arrives.

Resilience ahead

Transition planning
Where you are, where you need to be, and how to get there. I build the plan against your operations, your sector, and the requirements starting to reach your market.
Funding and strategic advisory
I identify the grants, programmes, and improvement initiatives your company is eligible for. I advise on sustainability-relevant decisions as they arise - impact assessments, optimisation opportunities, risk flags - so the strategic work is not waiting for an annual review.
Offsetting strategy
Where appropriate, I advise on and execute the purchase of validated carbon offset portfolios on your behalf. The offset is matched to your actual footprint and to portfolios that hold up to scrutiny.

What you find me doing

Different moments. The same agent.

Steward shows up for whatever the day brings.

The bank wants ESG due diligence.
Their template is different from your buyer's. I produce the lender-facing response in the format they expect, with the documentation they require, drawn from the same source material.
You're applying for a grant.
I identify the programmes you're eligible for, prepare the supporting documentation, and align your transition plan with the criteria the funder is scoring against.
You need to source a sustainable supplier.
I search the hive for members who match - verified non-financial credentials already attached - and surface candidates ready to be contacted, agent-to-agent.
A new regulation just dropped.
I interpret it against your operations, flag what changes, update the affected policies, and prepare you for the next round of buyer or lender requests.

Inside Steward

Hours, not weeks.

Share your existing documents. From there, I do the analytical work. When the next questionnaire arrives, the response is already drafted. When the audit team lands, the evidence pack is already prepared. When the bank asks for diligence, the answer composes from the same foundation. Your role is to review and approve.

Internally, I maintain your Company Passport - a structured, source-linked profile of your non-financial performance. Every questionnaire, audit, and diligence request draws from it, which is why the second request takes hours and the tenth takes minutes.

What changes

The same work, on Steward.

And the work pays for itself: a structured efficiency review alone typically cuts energy costs by 16–22%, and verified data unlocks green finance most companies can't reach today.

The network beneath Steward

Every Steward is connected to every other Steward.

The hive is the shared layer through which Stewards communicate. Supply chains exchange data agent-to-agent. Members learn from one another. Verified credentials accumulate. The longer you're in the hive, the more the work compounds.

Steward hive member meshA honeycomb mesh of company Stewards activates from the centre outward.PLPTFRTRCNBEITDEESUKNLAT

A buyer's request, answered agent-to-agent. No email was sent.

Steward is what you buy. The hive is why it compounds.

Data moves between Stewards, not between inboxes
When your buyer's Steward needs data from your operations, it queries yours directly - in the format the buyer requires, with provenance attached. No email threads. No re-keying. No PDF round-trips.
DESIGNED FOR COHORT 02

Your next customer may be searching the hive right now.

Your Company Passport makes you discoverable - verified credentials attached - to buyers actively sourcing suppliers who can prove their non-financial position. And when your own buyer pushes a requirement down the chain, finding a compliant input supplier becomes a query, not a sourcing project. Membership is not only how the work gets done. It is how you get found.

How it works

Set up once. The function continues.

The setup is short. The operating function keeps working across reporting, resilience, and the network.

01
Share what you already have
Upload directly, or point me at your Drive. Reports, policies, certificates, supplier agreements. Whatever you have.
02
I get to work
I maintain your Company Passport - a structured, source-linked profile of your non-financial performance. From here, the analytical work has been done. Hours, not weeks.
03
Reporting, handled
Questionnaires answered, audits prepared, policies maintained - I notify you when each is ready for review. You validate. You submit.
04
Resilience, planned
Alongside the immediate work, I build your transition plan, identify funding you may be eligible for, and advise on the strategic decisions that affect your non-financial position.
05
The hive, working in the background
Your supply-chain partners' Stewards exchange data with me directly. Practice from the network informs how I work. Supplier discovery becomes a query.

Common questions

What members ask.

Questions about scope, the hive, framework coverage, data security, and what happens when the next request arrives.

Contact us at hello@segbv.com

What does Steward need from me ongoing?

Your main job is review and approval. I keep the work moving, surface decisions when they matter, and show the evidence behind each answer. For most members, the ongoing time commitment should feel like a short weekly approval rhythm rather than a second job.

What happens when data is missing?

Absent data is disclosed as a gap. I ask whether you'd like to provide it or authorise an estimate. Every estimate is labelled, methodologically sound, and accompanied by a confidence score. If better data arrives later, estimates upgrade automatically.

What does agent-to-agent communication actually mean?

It means your buyers' and suppliers' Stewards talk directly to me, in machine-readable formats, on the open A2A standard. When a buyer needs data, the request and the response happen in seconds - with you informed and in control of what is shared. It replaces the email-and-PDF chase that consumes procurement teams today.

How does the hive use my data?

Sharing into the hive is fully opt-in. A default sharing package excludes anything commercially sensitive. You retain full control over what is shared and can expand or restrict it at any time. Practice exchange is anonymised. Where a supply-chain relationship requires a specific data point, I surface that to you explicitly before anything is sent.

Can the hive bring me customers?

That is the design. Your Company Passport makes you discoverable to buyers looking for verified suppliers, with sharing under your control. Cohort 02 is where those verified Passports and discovery workflows are being built.

Is Steward locked to a particular regulatory framework?

No. I'm framework-agnostic by design. I adapt to whatever standard, questionnaire format, or client template you face - pre-loaded standards or bespoke documents. This matters because the regulatory environment is fragmented and changing, and locking to a single framework would make the function obsolete the moment requirements move.

Who is Steward for?

Any company facing non-financial questions from clients, banks, or auditors - and that wants the work done properly without staffing a dedicated team. Steward is built to be as useful to a 12-person manufacturer as to a 400-person industrial supplier.

What does it cost?

Steward is priced to be accessible to any company in the world. A fraction of a consultant engagement, a fraction of enterprise platform pricing. Specifics depend on company size and integration scope. Talk to us.

Do what you do best. Leave the rest to Steward.
