Frequently Asked Questions

Coral (coral.li) is a UAE-based climate tech company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Dubai. We build an AI-native ESG platform that combines enterprise emissions management (Scope 1/2/3) with Social and Governance reporting workflows.

Coral is an AI-native ESG platform that supports enterprise workflows from data ingestion → validation → calculation → analytics → compliance reporting → reduction planning → offsets. It helps teams turn multi-source activity data into audit-ready Scope 1/2/3 footprints and structured ESG disclosures.

Coral is built for mid-size to large enterprises that need defensible Scope 1/2/3 measurement and full ESG reporting (Environmental, Social, and Governance). It also supports offsetting workflows for brands and platforms (e.g., events or e-commerce checkout).

Coral connects to your data (uploads and APIs), validates inputs with Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) review where needed, and calculates emissions using large emission-factor libraries and audit-ready methods. The platform then supports analytics, reporting workflows, reduction planning, and optional offsetting with traceability controls.

Coral is a full ESG platform, not just a carbon tool. While we excel at emissions management (Scope 1/2/3), we also include structured disclosure workflows for Social topics (workforce, supply chain, communities) and Governance topics (ethics, anti-corruption, tax) per GRI and CSRD/ESRS standards. A modular architecture lets teams adopt only what they need.

Yes. Scope 1/2/3 measurement and analytics are first-class product areas in Coral, designed to support enterprise workflows and audit-ready outputs across all scopes.

Coral includes dedicated reporting workflows and exports for CSRD/ESRS (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1), GRI (Universal + Topic Standards), ISO 14064-1, the GHG Protocol, and CBAM.

Yes. Coral supports structured disclosure workflows for Environmental, Social, and Governance topics through GRI and CSRD/ESRS modules. Social coverage includes workforce and value-chain topics (e.g., employment, OHS, training, diversity, labor rights) and Governance coverage includes business conduct topics (e.g., anti-corruption, tax transparency, procurement practices).

Coral covers the complete GRI 400 series and ESRS S1–S4 standards including: employment (hiring, turnover, parental leave), occupational health & safety, training hours, diversity metrics, non-discrimination, labor rights (child labor, forced labor, collective bargaining), supplier social assessment, customer health & safety, and privacy. The platform tracks workforce metrics, supply chain labor practices, community impacts, and consumer protection.

Coral covers the complete GRI 200 series and ESRS G1 standard including: economic performance, anti-corruption (risk assessments, training, incidents), anti-competitive behavior, tax transparency, procurement practices, business conduct policies, and whistleblower mechanisms. These structured workflows ensure your governance disclosures meet regulatory requirements.

Double materiality assesses both directions: how your company impacts people and the environment (impact materiality), and how ESG factors affect your financial position (financial materiality). Coral's reporting workflows include a full double materiality assessment across all ESG topics, with an interactive materiality matrix visualization to determine which disclosures are required for your reports.

Beyond templates and manual entry, Coral supports multi-file batch uploads, chunked uploads for HITL workflows, API integration, procurement system integration, and optional SCADA-style daily aggregates. Every ingestion unit is tracked for traceability and auditability.

When data is extracted from documents or needs review, Coral routes it through HITL workflows where users can review, filter, bulk-edit, and confirm records before calculation or reporting outputs are finalized. This ensures accountability and reduces error risk.

Yes. Coral's supplier management module tracks multi-dimensional ESG performance for each supplier across six dimensions: ESG total score, environment score, social score, labour & human rights score, ethics score, and sustainable procurement score. You can upload evidence documents like certifications, audit reports, and third-party assessments.

Coral sources verified credits from recognized registries and applies due diligence to projects offered. Optional: Offsets are tracked with blockchain-based proof so credits and retirements remain traceable and auditable, and tokenization is designed to preserve one-to-one mapping to underlying credits.

Coral’s EMS centralizes activity data, calculates Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and turns insights into action. Teams identify hotspots, plan reductions, and generate audit-ready outputs aligned with global standards such as the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1.

Coral aggregates 107,500+ emission factors from 25+ authoritative databases, with 547,000+ year-specific data points spanning 1990–2025. Coverage spans 234 countries and all GHG Protocol categories across Scope 1, 2, and 3, and teams can add custom emission factors with supporting documentation and audit trail.

Coral supports integration via APIs and structured uploads for enterprise data ingestion and automation workflows. For offsetting use cases, Coral can also be integrated into experiences like events or e-commerce checkout to offer customer-facing offset options.

Yes—Coral includes AI assistance in reporting workflows, but outputs are designed to be human-reviewed. Coral uses HITL validation and evidence-gated, document-backed answering where applicable; if evidence is not available, the system is designed to avoid guessing and instead return that no evidence was found.

Coral uses Azure OpenAI Service (Microsoft). No—Coral does not use customer data (uploads, report content, or prompts) to train or fine-tune foundation LLMs.

Coral is ISO 27001:2022 certified and has a SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control and tenant isolation, optional IP allowlisting, audit logging, security headers, rate limiting, and production monitoring.

Coral has production deployments for the EU and the GCC. These deployments are designed for regional data residency, with strong encryption controls and operational separation; details can be shared during procurement and security review.

Coral is designed for traceability and defensibility: imports and uploaded files are tracked, workflows support HITL review before finalization, and governance controls (like closed reporting years and audit logging) help teams lock and defend numbers during internal review and third-party assurance.

Yes. Coral runs on scalable Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure and is designed to handle large, global data volumes with horizontal scalability.

Coral is designed to turn incoming activity data into usable insights quickly, enabling near-real-time monitoring and faster reporting cycles compared to manual processes.

Yes. Coral supports integrations via APIs and structured uploads, so it can connect to systems like ERP, finance/procurement tools, and supply chain platforms when data is available in compatible formats.

Coral’s modular architecture lets you adopt only the capabilities you need. Advanced integrations and customizations are available based on requirements and may involve additional fees.

Coral is designed for traceability: emissions calculations link back to source inputs, import records, attachments, and the emission factors used. HITL review workflows and governance controls help teams validate data before outputs are finalized, supporting third-party assurance.

Coral supports audit-ready reporting aligned to global standards and frameworks including CSRD/ESRS, GRI, ISO 14064-1, the GHG Protocol, and CBAM. Exports are designed to support both internal review workflows and external assurance needs.

Businesses can book a tailored onboarding to connect data sources, configure reporting requirements, and begin measuring and reporting quickly. For offsetting use cases, Coral can also be deployed for events or integrated into e-commerce checkout flows.
