The smarter way to measure, benchmark, and improve ESG performance.

Powered by the validated Samson Score and built for ASIC-aligned ESG disclosure.

The Problem We Solve

Most organisations now face mandatory ESG and sustainability reporting.
Large reporters must comply with ASIC and ISSB-aligned standards, and their suppliers will soon follow. Yet the majority of businesses — especially SMEs — struggle to respond. Reporting is fragmented, consultant-driven, expensive, and often limited to compliance.

 

ESG Perform solves this by making ESG evaluation simple, credible, and scalable.

Using AI-enabled technology and a validated scoring framework, businesses can now assess, benchmark, and improve their ESG performance quickly, without heavy consulting costs.

Why is ESG important?

ESG factors have become increasingly important for organisations across industries. They serve as crucial indicators of an organisation’s commitment to sustainable practices, social impact, and ethical governance. Embracing ESG principles offers numerous benefits:

Enhanced Reputation

Companies that prioritise ESG performance cultivate a positive reputation among their customers, investors, and other stakeholders. Demonstrating a commitment to responsible practices and transparency helps build trust and credibility.

Risk Mitigation

By identifying and addressing ESG risks, organisations can proactively manage potential environmental, social, and governance challenges. This proactive approach reduces reputational, regulatory, and operational risks, ensuring long-term viability.

Competitive Advantage

Incorporating ESG into business strategies can provide a competitive edge in the market. Consumers, investors, and talented employees increasingly favour organisations that align with their values, making ESG performance a differentiating factor.

Innovation + Resilience

ESG integration drives innovation by finding sustainable solutions, adopt renewable energy sources, implement efficient processes, and develop inclusive practices. This fosters long-term resilience and positions companies at the forefront of change.

Our Purpose

To make credible ESG measurement and improvement accessible to every organisation, helping them turn compliance into competitive advantage.

Our Mission

To provide an AI-powered ESG platform that enables organisations to self-assess, benchmark, and continuously improve their ESG performance using globally recognised standards — fast, affordable, and evidence-based.

The Samson Score

Developed by Professor Danny Samson after two decades of research, the Samson Score transforms ESG measurement into a validated, comparable benchmark.

It is structured across five ESG pillars and 23 measurable elements, each rated along a maturity scale from ad hoc to world-leading.

This makes ESG results:

Comparable across industries and time

Evidence-based and audit-ready

Actionable for continuous improvement

ESG Evaluation and Scores Report

We have developed and implemented a unique scoring system for ESG, based on five key performance criteria for each of the 23 elements of ESG leadership, environmental, social and governance practices, and resulting outcomes. Our approach takes in your organisation’s activities in each of these domains, evaluates them against our benchmarked scales, then produces a comprehensive ESG performance report with our integrative framework, quantitative evaluations, and recommendations for taking your ESG journey forward. This report provides all stakeholders with a single ‘source of truth’ — a clear and accurate view of the organisation’s ESG status, plans and trajectory.
