Simplifying Sustainability, One Company at a Time

Co-founded by Renato Zubaly, VeridianIQ began in Hungary with a clear goal: simplify ESG compliance. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It refers to the standards companies follow to operate responsibly.

In a world where regulations grow stricter and supply chains more complex, businesses need smarter ways to stay accountable. VeridianIQ’s mission is to turn sustainability from a burden into a strength.

From Idea to Acceleration with EIT Jumpstarter

In 2024, VeridianIQ joined the EIT Jumpstarter programme under the Manufacturing category. This marked a turning point. With guidance from experienced mentors, the team refined their idea, tested their assumptions, and built a solid business model.

Their work paid off: they won second place and received €5,000 to support their next steps. More importantly, the programme gave them confidence and a clearer path forward.

What VeridianIQ Does

VeridianIQ is an AI-based platform that helps companies manage ESG risks. It monitors supply chains in real time and delivers insights to support smart decisions.

The tool helps firms follow regulations like CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation), avoid reputational risks, and improve transparency.

It is built for impact funds and mid-sized businesses that need both simplicity and precision.

Gaining Traction, Building Trust

After completing the programme, VeridianIQ gained attention from investors and industry players. They started pilot projects and fine-tuned their product with real users. The feedback confirmed their value. Their solution solves a real need in the ESG space. With stronger messaging, clearer positioning, and a growing network, VeridianIQ is ready to grow.

Looking Ahead

VeridianIQ plans to expand across Europe and grow its client base. They aim to support more businesses in managing ESG responsibilities with ease. Their vision is bold but simple: make compliance efficient, smart, and strategic.

"For us, ESG isn’t a checkbox. It’s a smart strategy to future-proof business, build trust, and lead with purpose."
