Direct peers

• Plan A: Berlin-based ESG and CSRD platform targeting SMBs with carbon accounting, decarbonisation, and broader ESG reporting. Closely comparable to Responsible 100 on customer segment (mid-market), horizontal ESG scope, and SaaS-plus-advisory model.
• Persefoni: Climate management & accounting platform combining SaaS measurement with professional services for finance teams. Mirrors Responsible 100's subscription + consultancy hybrid and benchmarking orientation.
• Greenly: Carbon accounting and ESG platform purpose-built for SMBs with a dashboard, consultative onboarding, and partner ecosystem. Directly comparable SMB-first carbon/ESG proposition with subscription + advisory.
• Sweep: France-based ESG platform helping mid-market companies measure and reduce environmental impact and prepare for CSRD reporting. Strong overlap on SMB horizontal ESG assessment, dashboarding and reduction workflows.
• Watershed: Enterprise-grade climate platform covering carbon accounting, disclosures and reduction programs. Compares on the ESG assessment/dashboard core, though Watershed skews further up-market than Responsible 100.

Broad incumbents

• Workiva: Public, market-leading ESG and sustainability reporting platform with deep capabilities across GRI, SASB, CSRD and TCFD. Competes broadly with the Responsibility Indicator dashboard but is much larger, more enterprise-focused, and broader than ESG-only.
• EcoVadis: Established sustainability ratings provider focused on supply chain ESG assessment across environment, labor, ethics and procurement. Overlaps with Responsible 100 on benchmarking/scoring businesses on responsibility issues.
• Sedex: Global membership platform for supply chain ESG data, audit (SMETA) and benchmarking. Comparable on the community-built benchmark scoring concept applied to supplier ESG, though with a much larger installed base.

Emerging players

• Normative: Nordic-headquartered carbon accounting engine helping companies measure, reduce and report emissions. Comparable SaaS-plus-expert carbon/ESG offering for European SMBs.
• IntegrityNext: Supply chain sustainability platform used by enterprises to monitor supplier ESG compliance. Shares the supplier / marketplace ethics slice of the Responsibility Indicator's scope.
