Cape Town, South Africa | London, UK – June 2026 – A practical guide to Generative Engine Optimisation for ESG: structure your sustainability credentials so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI cite you.
Citable ESG Orgs., a B2B directory and communication hub for ESG, sustainability-minded and impact-driven organisations, has launched in public beta. The platform structures each organisation's profile as machine-readable, verifiable data that surfaces in AI answer engines (GEO) such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, and that strengthens traditional search visibility (SEO).
Most directories are built for people to browse. Citable ESG Orgs. is built for how clients, customers, buyers, investors and journalists increasingly find information through AI answer engines that quote structured, verifiable sources. The platform turns an organisation's certifications, SDG alignment, emissions data and service offerings into structured data and an open dataset that AI systems can read and cite directly.
Verification cross-references an organisation's claims against 24 recognised platforms, including B Corp, EcoVadis, CDP, GRI and ISO standards, with no manual review queue. Every profile carries a clear status – platform-verified, user-verified or self-declared – so credibility is transparent and greenwashing has nowhere to hide.
“Sustainability teams spend years earning credentials, then discover that work counts for little if AI systems cannot find and cite it,” said Brett Jefferson, founder of The Ethical Agency. “We built Citable ESG Orgs. to turn an organisation's verified ESG work into evidence an AI system can read, trust and cite.”
Unlike most directories, a full profile is FREE, including company information, certifications, SDG alignment, reviews, case studies and structured data.
Every profile, including the FREE tier, carries a backlink from a verified sustainability directory, which supports an organisation's domain authority, search visibility and AI citability. The Pro tier amplifies this with additional published, indexable content and citable pages.
A dedicated Scope 3 Supplier Readiness section helps organisations show how prepared they are for supply-chain ESG and emissions requests.
The platform is built around AI citability from the ground up. Other directories can add similar features, but our structured-data infrastructure is engineered to be cited, and each profile carries an AI Citability Score that reflects it.
A Pro tier at €39 per month adds content publishing, director profiles, service packages and search priority. Featured placement is €39 once-off per item.
Think Clutch or GoodFirms, but for ESG, and impact-driven organisations – built so AI answer engines can cite what they find. Citable ESG Orgs. serves two sides of the same market:
Organisations that want their ESG work found and cited: ESG and sustainability consultancies, NGOs and service providers, impact-driven and sustainability-minded brands, certified organisations such as B Corps and EcoVadis-rated suppliers, and in-house sustainability teams that want their organisation's credentials found and cited.
The people and systems that rely on them: procurement and supply-chain teams vetting suppliers for Scope 3, investors and analysts running ESG due diligence, clients and customers choosing suppliers and partners, journalists sourcing credible data, and the AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews) that quote structured, verifiable sources.
Citable ESG Orgs. is a B2B directory and communication hub for the ESG, impact and sustainability sectors, built by The Ethical Agency. It structures organisations' verified credentials for both search engines and AI answer engines, so credible ESG work gets found and cited.
