Struggling with sustainability? WildSight’s new AI-powered platform offers actionable solutions

As global environmental regulations tighten and corporate sustainability becomes a boardroom priority, businesses face increasing pressure to report on their nature-related impacts. Enter WildSight, an artificial intelligence-powered business intelligence platform designed to simplify this transition. Founded by former McKinsey consultant Emily Birch, WildSight provides actionable insights that help companies develop and execute effective nature strategies.

With sustainability reporting frameworks becoming more complex, WildSight’s innovative approach aims to equip chief sustainability officers (CSOs) and corporate leaders with the tools needed to navigate nature-related risks, regulatory demands, and opportunities for positive environmental impact. Its flagship offering, “Phase 0,” is the first step in this journey, providing concise, data-driven content tailored to the evolving landscape of corporate environmental responsibility.

Why do businesses need a nature strategy now?

The urgency for businesses to integrate nature into their sustainability frameworks is driven by regulatory developments like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which came into force on January 5, 2023. This directive mandates that over 50,000 companies in the European Union report on sustainability issues, including their impacts on biodiversity and natural ecosystems. The first batch of companies will begin reporting this year, marking a significant shift in how businesses approach environmental accountability.

Additionally, voluntary frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), launched in 2021, and the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) are gaining traction globally. These frameworks encourage companies to go beyond compliance, setting measurable targets for nature-positive outcomes. As the environmental reporting landscape evolves, businesses are not just expected to disclose their impacts—they are increasingly required to demonstrate tangible progress in mitigating risks and contributing to biodiversity conservation.

This complex regulatory environment underscores the need for platforms like WildSight, which offers actionable nature intelligence to guide companies through their sustainability journeys.

How does WildSight simplify corporate nature strategies?

WildSight’s platform is designed to be a companion for nature action, especially for businesses at the early stages of their environmental sustainability journey. Its “Phase 0” offering includes bite-sized video explainers and insightful articles that demystify critical topics such as biodiversity credits, regulatory compliance, and nature-positive claims.

Emily Birch, founder of WildSight, explains the platform’s value proposition:

“Business leaders are overwhelmed by an avalanche of data, reports, and guidelines. What’s missing is a way to distil that information into clear, actionable insights that can be understood in minutes rather than months. That’s where WildSight comes in.”

By focusing on clarity and practicality, WildSight helps CSOs cut through the noise, making it easier to align corporate strategies with emerging environmental standards.

The platform also provides tailored weekly briefs and personalised newsfeeds, ensuring that sustainability teams stay updated on the latest regulatory developments, industry trends, and scientific breakthroughs related to nature and biodiversity.

What makes WildSight different from other sustainability platforms?

The global business intelligence market, valued at $31.98 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $63.76 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. While many platforms offer data analytics and sustainability tracking, WildSight differentiates itself through its focus on nature-specific intelligence powered by artificial intelligence and expert insights.

What sets WildSight apart is its phased approach to sustainability. Unlike traditional tools that provide static reports, WildSight guides businesses through a structured “nature action journey.”

• Phase 0 focuses on education and awareness, offering foundational knowledge through videos and articles.
• Phase 1, expected to launch in the coming months, will introduce advanced tools such as a CSRD Readiness Index, Double Materiality Screening, and Competitor Benchmarking to help companies move from insights to action.

WildSight’s credibility is further enhanced by its advisory network, which includes experts from Oxford University and the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). This academic backing ensures that the platform’s content is grounded in the latest scientific research and best practices in environmental management.

Who is already using WildSight?

Since its soft launch, WildSight has attracted interest from leading organisations across various industries, including Aon, British Airways, BP, Gucci, and Rio Tinto. These companies are leveraging WildSight’s insights to meet sustainability goals, prepare for upcoming reporting requirements, and identify opportunities for positive environmental impact.

The platform’s user base reflects the growing recognition that actionable nature intelligence is not just a compliance requirement—it’s a strategic advantage. Companies that proactively manage their environmental impacts are better positioned to mitigate risks, enhance brand reputation, and respond to investor demands for transparency.

What’s next for WildSight?

Looking ahead, WildSight plans to expand its offerings with more advanced tools designed to support companies in making data-driven decisions for nature-positive outcomes. The upcoming Phase 1 will introduce features that help businesses assess their readiness for regulatory compliance, identify material environmental risks, and benchmark their performance against industry peers.

As businesses worldwide face increasing pressure to align with sustainability goals, WildSight’s mission is clear:

“Our goal is to transform complex environmental data into practical solutions that drive real-world impact,” Birch said.

With environmental accountability now a cornerstone of corporate governance, WildSight positions itself as a vital partner for companies navigating the future of sustainability.
