Platform Capabilities

One evidence engine.
Built for regenerative climate outcomes.

RICO by Fairlyst helps reporting teams move from scattered files and spreadsheet handoffs to source-linked ESG data, documented calculations, human review, and exportable evidence packs.

Document Intelligence

AI-assisted ESG extraction

Upload reports, utility bills, invoices, fuel records, supplier documents, and operational files. RICO identifies ESG and emissions-related fields, prepares structured records, and keeps source references attached for review.

PDFsInvoicesUtility Data
Calculation Records

Emissions and ESG calculation support

Replace fragile spreadsheet handoffs with documented calculation records. Inputs, units, formulas, factor references, calculation dates, reviewers, and output values can be preserved together.

Scope 1Scope 2Selected Scope 3
Traceability

Source-linked review history

Every reviewed field can be connected to source evidence, reviewer action, timestamp, comments, and change history. The goal is traceable data that teams can inspect, explain, and defend.

Framework and market workflows

Prepare structured ESG evidence for recognized frameworks and selected jurisdiction-specific workflows. The same source data can support multiple reporting needs where applicable.

How It Works

From raw document
to reviewable evidence

RICO by Fairlyst is designed around the controls serious reporting teams need: source evidence, structured extraction, calculation records, human review, and exportable outputs.

01
Upload source documents
Add sustainability reports, utility bills, invoices, fuel records, supplier data, facility records, or other ESG-related evidence.
02
Extract ESG and emissions fields
RICO identifies values such as consumption, dates, entities, facilities, suppliers, categories, activity data, and operational metrics.
03
Link every value to source evidence
Extracted fields stay connected to the source document, field context, timestamp, and review status.
04
Calculate with documented logic
Calculations can include inputs, units, formulas, factor references, assumptions, and output values.
05
Review, approve, or amend
Human reviewers approve, correct, reject, or comment on records before they are used in reporting outputs.
06
Export evidence packs
Generate datasets, review records, calculation summaries, and evidence packs for internal teams, advisors, auditors, or disclosure preparation.

Markets & Frameworks

Global framework logic.
Local reporting flexibility.

RICO by Fairlyst is built around the parts every serious workflow needs: source evidence, reliable extraction, documented calculations, human review, and exportable records.

· Global Core

Reusable ESG evidence model

Source documents, extracted fields, reviewer approvals, calculation records, and evidence packs can be reused across reporting needs.

· Framework Layer

Recognized reporting workflows

Support workflows referencing GHG Protocol, IFRS S1/S2, GRI, SASB, TCFD-informed reporting, and ESRS/CSRD evidence preparation.

· Jurisdiction Packs

Configurable market requirements

Configure outputs for jurisdiction-specific requirements, investor questionnaires, lender requests, supplier due diligence, and voluntary ESG reporting.

Trust & Methodology

Designed for traceability,
not black-box reporting.

RICO by Fairlyst helps teams prepare ESG and climate-reporting data with stronger traceability, clearer review controls, and better source evidence. It supports professional workflows; it does not replace professional judgment.

What RICO helps teams do

  • Extract ESG and emissions-related fields from source documents.
  • Link values to source documents, field context, timestamps, and reviewers.
  • Apply documented calculation logic and preserve calculation records.
  • Identify missing, inconsistent, or low-confidence fields for review.
  • Generate datasets and evidence packs for reporting preparation.

What RICO does not claim to do

  • It does not guarantee regulatory acceptance of any filing.
  • It does not replace legal, accounting, audit, assurance, or ESG advisory services.
  • It does not certify the accuracy of source documents provided by a client.
  • It does not remove the need for human review before formal reporting.
  • It does not claim universal compliance across every jurisdiction.
Methodology principle: every material output should be reviewable. Fairlyst prioritizes source attribution, calculation transparency, reviewer accountability, and documented assumptions over unsupported claims of perfect automation.
Security & Data Handling

Clear controls for
sensitive ESG data.

RICO by Fairlyst handles sustainability, operational, supplier, utility, and emissions-related data. Enterprise buyers should have a clear view of hosting, access control, retention, AI processing, subprocessors, and deletion workflows.

· Access

Controlled user workflows

Role-based workflows can separate uploaders, reviewers, approvers, and administrators.

· Processing

Transparent AI processing

Fairlyst should disclose applicable AI providers, subprocessors, data categories, processing purposes, and model-training terms.

· Governance

Retention and deletion clarity

Production deployments should define data residency, retention, backup practices, deletion, incident notification, and export rights.

FAQ

Common questions

No. Fairlyst is built from the UAE, but RICO is designed for ESG, climate, and sustainability reporting across multiple markets.
No software should guarantee compliance across every jurisdiction. RICO helps teams prepare structured, traceable, reviewable ESG data and evidence. Final responsibility remains with the client and its advisors.
RICO supports workflows referencing GHG Protocol, IFRS S1/S2, GRI, SASB, TCFD-informed reporting, and selected ESRS/CSRD evidence-preparation workflows where applicable.
No. AI-assisted extraction can reduce manual work, but human review is required before outputs are used for filings, disclosures, audits, or management decisions.
Partly. RICO supports emissions calculations, but its broader value is ESG evidence infrastructure: source documents, traceability, review workflows, calculations, and evidence packs.
A pilot begins with document scoping, reporting boundaries, framework mapping, sample extraction, review workflow setup, and evidence-pack output design.
