Manifest Climate

Manifest Climate is a Toronto, Canada-based company that started in 2020 as a sustainability and climate-risk consultancy before building an AI platform to automate climate and ESG disclosure assessment. It was founded by climate-risk practitioners including Laura Zizzo, drawing on their consulting experience with regulators, asset managers and public companies.

The Manifest Climate platform uses an AI assessment engine to review sustainability reports, annual filings and policies against chosen disclosure frameworks, returning fully source-cited findings with verbatim evidence from the original documents. It supports benchmarking, compliance checks, due diligence, gap analysis and portfolio monitoring for advisors, auditors, asset managers and public companies.
