AI agents assess ESG performance for European SMEs, supporting Green Deal goals

Researchers have developed a new AI framework to evaluate the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. The system uses AI agents, built on the n8n automation platform and large language models, to classify ESG data and provide recommendations. This approach demonstrated high consistency with human assessments, offering a more efficient method for monitoring and supporting sustainability efforts aligned with the European Green Deal. AI

IMPACT Provides a scalable, AI-driven method for SMEs to assess and improve their ESG performance, aligning with European sustainability goals.
