What uIMPACT does

uIMPACT AD is a private, Sofia-based boutique sustainability advisory incorporated as a Bulgarian joint-stock company. The firm helps companies assess, report, and communicate environmental, social, and governance performance, with particular emphasis on compliance under the EU's evolving sustainability regulatory framework, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the EU Taxonomy, the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and green claims requirements.

Its core product is the Sustainability Explorer Platform, a web-based, self-reporting tool that screens a company's ESG status and measures alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The platform is supported by a proprietary sustainability assessment methodology developed from long-standing experience in sustainable and impact investing. Around this platform, uIMPACT sells an advisory portfolio that includes CSRD/ESRS reporting assistance, Life Cycle Assessments (ISO 14040/14044), sustainability policy development, an EU Market Entry Readiness package for non-EU companies, and an Embedded Sustainability Officer service for ongoing fractional support.

uIMPACT operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services (project-based, quote-based, multi-year engagements) with subscription/SaaS access to the Sustainability Explorer Platform. Its go-to-market is sales-led direct B2B outreach augmented by channel partnerships (Connect Nordics for Nordic outbound, AECO Space for the AEC vertical, ESG Platform/Reconart for regional integration, Toncheva and Partners for legal-sustainability combinations, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce, and Bureau Veritas) and event-driven demand generation (Sofia Money Expo, Startup Europe Week, EU Silicon Cluster, WWF Panda Labs). The firm is owned primarily by UIV Fund Management (a Dutch impact-focused fund management platform) with Vitosha Venture Partners as an institutional investor following a September 2023 round. Customers include SMEs, large corporations, startups, and companies preparing to enter the EU market, with LAM'ON LLC (sustainable packaging) publicly named as a case-study client.

Direct peers

• Persefoni: Persefoni is a climate management and accounting platform that helps enterprises measure, report, and act on their carbon footprint using GHG Protocol and TCFD. It is directly comparable to uIMPACT's Sustainability Explorer on the climate/ESG screening-and-reporting axis, with a similar product-led plus advisory slant, though at far larger scale.
• Greenly: Greenly provides carbon accounting and ESG software targeted at SMEs, with automated measurement and CSRD-aligned reporting. Directly competes with uIMPACT's SME-focused Sustainability Explorer wedge for SMB customers needing lightweight ESG compliance tools.
• Novisto: Novisto offers an end-to-end ESG data management and reporting platform for mid-market and enterprise, with CSRD/ESRS modules and advisory. Compares to uIMPACT on the integrated software-plus-consulting model for sustainability reporting and stakeholder disclosure.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise sustainability platform that helps companies measure emissions, run LCA, and comply with CSRD/ESRS, EU Taxonomy, and SEC climate rules. Comparable to uIMPACT because it bundles software with expert advisory services for sustainability reporting — a model uIMPACT replicates at SME scale.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole Group: South Pole is a global climate consultancy and project developer advising corporations and financial institutions on sustainability strategy, decarbonization, and CSRD/TCFD reporting. Comparable as a much larger incumbent sustainability advisory that competes for the same enterprise reporting and strategy engagements uIMPACT targets.
• Workiva: Workiva is a SaaS platform for sustainability, ESG, audit, and regulatory reporting with strong CSRD/ESRS support. Comparable as a packaged software platform for sustainability disclosure that uIMPACT's Sustainability Explorer competes against for budget at larger customers.
• Carbon Trust: Carbon Trust is an established sustainability consultancy providing carbon measurement, LCA, and CSRD advisory to corporates and governments. Directly comparable service offerings (LCA, footprinting, sustainability reporting) to uIMPACT's advisory portfolio at much larger scale.
• EcoVadis: EcoVadis provides business sustainability ratings and an assessment platform used by procurement teams to evaluate supplier ESG performance. Comparable because it focuses on supply-chain ESG screening — the same SME-in-supply-chain pain uIMPACT targets through vendor sustainability questionnaires and CSRD-driven demand.
• Bureau Veritas (Greenhouse Gas & Sustainability): Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) major with a growing sustainability and ESG assurance practice. Relevant because uIMPACT conducted a joint CSRD training with Bureau Veritas, and the two compete for ESG assurance and verification work on the same corporate buyers.

Regional players

• Position Green: Position Green is a Nordic-based ESG reporting and advisory platform helping companies comply with CSRD and EU Taxonomy. Comparable to uIMPACT as a regional sustainability SaaS-plus-advisory player, connected to uIMPACT's Nordic corridor strategy via the Connect Nordics partnership.
