SustainGRC
Intelligence That Builds Resilience, Creates Impact
We are pioneering the future of sustainability and governance with our AI-native all-in-one platform — making sustainability and risk data as credible, accessible, and actionable as financial data.
Our Story
Born as LevelUp ESG® in London in 2022, our platform set out to solve a critical problem: the credibility gap in sustainability data. Organisations worldwide struggled to manage ESG and risk with the same confidence as financial data — and we knew there had to be a better way.
Drawing on two decades of leadership in consulting, assurance, and risk management, our founder Dr Ahmed Shawky created a solution forward-thinking businesses were waiting for: an end-to-end platform that delivers financial-grade credibility, actionable intelligence, and measurable value.
Today, we are proud to introduce SustainGRC — the evolution of that vision. More than a name change, it marks our transformation into the AI-native intelligence hub for sustainability and governance. SustainGRC integrates sustainability, GRC, and supply chain into a single enterprise-ready platform, empowering organisations to build resilience, unlock growth, and create real-world impact.
Our journey reflects a simple belief: sustainability and governance are not checkboxes — they are competitive advantages. With SustainGRC , we are helping businesses everywhere turn responsibility into resilience, and data into decisions.
Our Approach
We've built a platform that bridges technical rigour with business reality.
SustainGRC combines advanced AI, integrated risk management, and a global knowledge ecosystem.
