What Codio Impact does

Codio Impact GmbH is a Berlin-based private SaaS company, founded in 2022, that automates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data collection, materiality assessment, and audit-ready reporting for European enterprises. The company's primary customers are mid-market and enterprise firms with 250+ employees that are subject to the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), concentrated in five industry verticals: utilities (Stadtwerke), construction, waste & recycling, engineering, and asset management. Named customers include STADLER Anlagenbau, HEINZ, Landbell, DEKO, DITTING, LEIPA, EWN, Trianel, and several municipal utilities, alongside public-sector clients OBG and BRZ.

The core product is an AI-assisted cloud SaaS platform delivered on AWS that centralizes ESG data collection, supports double materiality assessments with scoring algorithms aligned to ESRS standards, generates reports compliant with ESRS, VSME, GHG Protocol, and CSRD, supports XBRL machine-readable output for the European Single Access Point, and offers industry-specific benchmarking. The platform is complemented by five professional-services workshop modules covering ESG introduction, SDG goal setting, materiality assessment, Scope 1/2/3 emissions calculation, and data governance. The AI layer applies NLP and recommendation engines trained on proprietary information and public ESG datasets.

The business operates a hybrid SaaS-plus-services revenue model: annual SaaS subscriptions with custom pricing tied to company size and feature scope, augmented by workshop and consulting fees. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus inside sales via website demo requests, supported by content marketing (blog, SEO, LinkedIn, email) and trade-show participation (notably BAU Munich 2023). Backed by Angel Invest, APX, and SI Ventures, the company is led by co-founders and managing directors Tilman Kemper and Sonja Radovic alongside CTO Jan Thurau. In 2025 the company announced a merger with Planted and Code Gaia to form House of Gaia, positioning the combined entity as a European leader for ESG and product compliance.
