Data driven sustainability management

With our Sustainability Platform, businesses gain access to structured and machine-readable sustainability data that streamlines compliance with reporting frameworks. Súrefni specializes in certifying sustainability initiatives that generate carbon credits and verified environmental impacts, ensuring transparency and credibility.

Strengthening infrastructure for sustainable business growth
"Building a strong foundation for sustainable projects in Iceland is essential," says Íris Karlsdóttir, Head of Partnerships at Klappir. "This partnership connects businesses to standardized, verifiable sustainability methodologies that align with climate targets, circular economy principles, and digital ESG reporting requirements. Strengthening the link between real-time environmental data and certification enhances trust in sustainability commitments across industries."

Turning sustainability initiatives into measurable results
Súrefni’s expertise in sustainability verification is already making an impact. In collaboration with Ísorka, the environmental effects of EV charging station infrastructure have been certified according to international sustainability standards, supporting the transition to low-carbon transport. This ensures that companies investing in clean energy infrastructure can quantify and disclose their climate contributions in line with regulatory expectations.

Another example is Súrefni’s partnership with Pure North, Iceland’s leader in sustainable plastic recycling. By processing plastic waste locally instead of exporting it, the initiative reduces emissions and strengthens traceability in the recycling process. With verified methodologies, businesses can integrate these projects into compliant sustainability disclosures and ESG reporting frameworks.

A digital-first approach to sustainability
"For sustainability projects to create real impact, they need clear methodologies, transparency, and digitally verifiable certification," says Aríel Jóhann Árnason, founder of Súrefni. "With this partnership, businesses can connect real-time sustainability data with trusted environmental verification processes. The result is credible, data-driven sustainability reporting that meets the increasing expectations of regulators, investors, and stakeholders."

Enabling compliance and innovation in sustainable business
This collaboration makes it attainable for businesses and institutions to implement sustainability projects, secure certification, and generate auditable sustainability data that meets the demands of ESG frameworks, and digital sustainability transformation.
