What Susty does

Susty is a Costa Rica-based SaaS company that provides a modular ESG and sustainability management platform for mid-market and enterprise companies across Latin America. Founded in 2020 by Julián Trussart, the company targets organizations facing pressure from international buyers, multilateral banks, and European regulations (EUDR, CSRD) to deliver verifiable ESG data, Scope 3 carbon emissions, and multi-framework sustainability reports — problems that traditional consulting addresses in 4–6 months at $20K–$50K and that global ESG platforms (EcoVadis, Sedex) address at price points and with regulatory assumptions unsuitable for LATAM mid-market. Susty's platform centralizes sustainability data collection, carbon accounting, certification management, and multi-framework reporting across 12 frameworks (GRI, CSRD/ESRS, IFRS S1/S2, ISO 14001/50001, Bandera Azul Ecológica, GlobalGAP, Rainforest Alliance, Esencial Costa Rica, GHG Protocol Scopes 1–3, and others) on a single unified data layer, eliminating duplicate data entry per framework. The technical stack is cloud-based and modular, with native ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, Odoo), IoT sensor ingestion, mobile-first data capture for low-connectivity agricultural environments, and a trilingual interface (Spanish, English, French). Notable differentiated modules include an automated carbon engine using localized national emission factors (IMN, SEMARNAT, IDEAM, MINAM), a Cadena de Valor supply chain ESG portal, an SBTi-aligned scenario simulator, and 1-click multi-framework, multi-format report generation.

Susty's business model combines a recurring SaaS subscription (entry pricing from $200/month, modular tier combinations) with a productized advisory stream — the Materialidad Indexada service delivers Phase 1 ESG materiality analysis in 7 business days at fixed tiers of $1,500 (Tier 1) or $3,500 (Tier 2), serving both as a high-margin service and a customer acquisition funnel into the platform subscription. A white-label/B2B2B licensing stream targets ESG consultancies and auditing firms that deploy Susty under their own brand, and a free Diagnóstico Express 12-question self-assessment qualifies prospects before demo conversion. The company sells primarily through direct sales (HubSpot-powered demo booking led by the commercial team) supported by a content-led demand generation engine (prolific Spanish-language blog, LinkedIn Lives, editorial series, gated playbooks). As of mid-2026, Susty reports 150+ cumulative clients, 18 active LATAM customers, 5,000+ reports generated, 30+ materiality processes executed, and $14M+ USD in multilateral bank financing facilitated for clients. Headquartered in San José, Costa Rica, the company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription: Susty operates primarily as a SaaS platform subscription model. Companies pay a recurring subscription fee to access the full ESG management platform, with modules for carbon accounting, ESG reporting, certification management (Bandera Azul, ISO, GlobalGAP, Rainforest Alliance), and supply chain management. Subscription tiers are modular, allowing companies to combine modules (e.g., ESG + Carbono, Bandera Azul + ISO 14001) and scale as their compliance requirements grow. Pricing starts from approximately $200/month for platform access.
2. Materialidad Indexada (Productized ESG Advisory): Materialidad Indexada is a one-time or add-on service delivering Phase 1 ESG materiality analysis in 7 business days. Tier 1 Starter is $1,500 USD (3-par benchmark), Tier 2 Pro is $3,500 USD (5-par benchmark + CFO presentation + complete report), and an optional Phase 2 stakeholder validation add-on is $2,500 USD. This is a high-margin, productized service that also functions as a customer acquisition driver for ongoing platform subscriptions.
3. White-Label / Enterprise Licensing: SUSTY 2.0 mentions a white-label model for ESG consultancies and auditing firms who want to deploy the platform under their own brand for their client portfolios. This represents a B2B2B revenue stream targeting partners rather than end customers directly.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Sphera: Sphera is a large enterprise ESG, EHS, and product stewardship software suite serving multinational corporations. Its ESG software portfolio overlaps with Susty's ISO, carbon, and supplier management modules, but Sphera operates as a broader enterprise incumbent with deeper integration into industrial EHS workflows.
• Workiva: Workiva is an enterprise SaaS platform for financial reporting, ESG, and audit-ready disclosure management used by large public companies. It represents the upper-incumbent benchmark Susty is positioned against for multi-framework reporting (GRI, SASB, TCFD, ISSB), with Workiva offering broader GRC integration but at significantly higher enterprise price points.
• EcoVadis: EcoVadis is a globally established sustainability ratings and intelligence platform used by large enterprises to evaluate supplier ESG performance. Susty explicitly positions against EcoVadis as a more affordable, LATAM-native alternative for mid-market and SMB companies that find EcoVadis too expensive or not locally adapted.
• Sedex: Sedex is a global supply chain ESG platform (SMETA audits, risk assessment, data exchange) used by multinational buyers to evaluate suppliers. It is comparable to Susty's Cadena de Valor module, but operates at much larger global scale with established buyer-side adoption across multiple regions.

Direct peers

• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise climate platform offering carbon accounting, reporting, and reduction strategy for large corporations. It targets the same enterprise sustainability buyer as Susty but with a broader global scope and significantly greater funding; the comparison highlights Susty's regional specialization versus Watershed's enterprise scale.
• Greenly: Greenly is a carbon accounting SaaS platform that targets SMBs and mid-market companies with simplified Scope 1-3 measurement and reporting. Like Susty, it emphasizes accessibility and lower pricing tiers for companies new to carbon accounting, making it a close peer on the SMB/mid-market side of the ESG software market.
• Sweep: Sweep is a multi-framework ESG management platform that helps companies measure, report, and reduce their environmental impact across standards like GRI, CSRD, CDP, and SBTi. Like Susty, it centralizes ESG data collection and reporting on a single platform; Susty differentiates with deep LATAM localization while Sweep focuses on European/global mid-market.
• Normative: Normative is a sustainability platform offering automated carbon accounting, multi-framework reporting (CDP, CSRD, GRI), and supply chain emissions calculation. It is structurally similar to Susty in combining carbon accounting with broader ESG reporting, with primary customer overlap in mid-market enterprises pursuing CSRD compliance.
• Persefoni: Persefoni is an enterprise Climate Management & Accounting Platform covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with GHG Protocol methodology. It is the closest direct peer in carbon accounting SaaS, with a comparable modular architecture and target enterprise buyer; Susty extends the carbon core with broader ESG framework coverage and LATAM-specific localization.
• Emitwise: Emitwise is a carbon accounting platform with deep supply chain (Scope 3) calculation capabilities, often used by manufacturing and consumer goods companies. It is comparable to Susty's Cadena de Valor module and Carbono Alcances 1-3 engine, though Sustainy's scope is broader across ESG frameworks.
