/ 01 Disclosure
ESG, with the evidence underneath
CSRD, TCFD, SEC Climate, UK SECR. The disclosure has to cite the source document; the source document has to be findable in seconds.
07 Industry · Energy, Oil & Gas
ESG is only defensible if your documents are.
The disclosure is only as trustworthy as the evidence underneath it. Microfilm archives measured in decades. Asset-integrity records in filing cabinets and scanned PDFs. HSE incident reports in email. When the regulator or the auditor asks, the answer has to be in seconds — with lineage.
Where the asset base is older than the disclosure framework.
We work with utilities (electricity, water, gas), upstream and downstream oil and gas operators, renewables developers and integrated energy firms — across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
The common thread: huge, regulated, long-lived asset bases with document and data estates that have been accumulating since before ESG was a category.
A disclosure is only as good as the evidence under it.

The briefs nobody else says yes to.
Six structural problems we hear repeatedly from utilities and operators — and the honest answer to each.
/ 02 Operator regulators
Licence obligations and HSE
Ofgem and Ofwat licence obligations, HSE incident reporting (RIDDOR), environmental permits, asset-integrity audits (API, PED, PSSR, DSEAR).
/ 03 Decade backlogs
Records older than the current ERP
Decade-long backlogs of microfilm, paper field records, as-built drawings. Engineering archives that only three retiring specialists can navigate.
/ 04 Asset-integrity evidence
Scattered across operational systems
Evidence in SCADA historians, GIS, ERP, and file shares. Audit-day assembly takes weeks. Insurance and regulator review take longer.
/ 05 Vendor & EPC contracts
Contract estates that survived M&A
Vendor and EPC contract estates that have survived multiple M&A waves. Covenants and renewal calendars are tribal knowledge.
/ 06 Legacy data
Operational data the enterprise cannot read
SCADA historians holding operational data the enterprise cannot read. ERP with uneven document coverage. The integrity model lives in the field engineer’s notebook.
What we ship into publishing operations.
Three workstreams that run together. The output is an evidence-grade operating layer — not a stack of pilots.
01 Custom Software
Asset-integrity, ESG and HSE surfaces
Asset-integrity dashboards. ESG reporting portals with lineage to source documents. HSE incident intake and triage. Field-engineer mobile apps. Demand-forecasting and anomaly-detection models.

02 AI + Human-in-the-loop
Engineering-document and incident intelligence
Engineering-document extraction (P&IDs, specifications, welding records). Contract intelligence across vendor estates. ESG disclosure evidence assembly. Incident-classification agents.
- P&ID and welding-record extraction — engineering metadata at scale.

- ESG evidence assembly — lineage on every disclosure cell.
- Incident-classification agents — RIDDOR-aware triage.
03 Integrations

What changes after the work ships.
Three outcomes consistently reported across energy engagements. Per-engagement targets agreed in writing during Discover.
/ Efficiency
Retrieval stops being the bottleneck
70% faster document retrieval. Auditors and regulators get the evidence in seconds, not in retrospect.
- -70% retrieval time
- Audit assembly: weeks → days
- Field-engineer cycle time on report-out
/ Cost optimisation
Document overhead bends down
60% reduction in document handling and storage cost. Surge headcount on disclosure cycles becomes optional.
- -60% document handling & storage cost
- Surge capacity replaced by orchestration
- Unit cost trends down release on release
/ Regulatory readiness

“Our CSRD disclosure was being assembled by a team of forty across two months. SBL turned the document estate into a citation-ready archive and the disclosure into a query. The forty became eight; the two months became eight days; the auditor stopped asking for the same evidence twice.“Director of Sustainability European utility · ESG disclosure pipeline
