Updated by Onye Dike on November 18th, 2025
WAP ESG™ is a sustainability data management platform designed to simplify the complex task of tracking and reporting ESG performance. It primarily targets financial firms, including private equity, asset managers, and lenders, who need to govern ESG performance across their investment portfolios. The platform addresses the challenge of data that originates from multiple sources, changes over time, and must be recalled for various reporting frameworks and regulatory bodies. By integrating ESG Key Performance Indicators from major frameworks like SASB, TCFD, and ISSB, the platform enables these firms to gain a centralized view of portfolio-wide and company-specific risks and opportunities. This transforms ESG from a compliance burden into a strategic tool for tracking performance and facilitating knowledge sharing across investments.

Core Features

WAP ESG is designed to tame messy ESG information: data arrives from many sources, changes over time and must be reported repeatedly under evolving frameworks and ratings systems. The platform’s philosophy is to centralize that complexity in one place for financial stakeholders, then pair software outputs with WAP’s consulting and managed-service support. With that in mind, its main features are:

  • Portfolio ESG data hub – Collects and organizes ESG metrics that originate from multiple systems and must be recalled several times a year, reflecting shifting KPIs and regulatory expectations.

  • Framework- and rating-aligned KPIs – Lets users build portfolios around indicators drawn from SASB, TCFD and ISSB, as well as ratings platforms such as CDP and MSCI, plus other regulation-driven topics.

  • GlidePaths scoring and tracking – Applies WAP GlidePaths, a scoring mechanism that turns raw answers into comparable portfolio and company scores, making it easier to monitor ESG progress over time.

  • Portfolio and company-level insights – Surfaces findings both across the portfolio and at individual company level, highlighting opportunities for improvement and enabling peer-to-peer knowledge sharing between holdings.

  • Hybrid platform plus advisory support – Combines Atmos AI’s self-service, AI-powered technology with WAP’s expert guidance, creating a “hybrid paradigm” aimed at making ESG reporting accessible yet robust.

  • Connections to WAP’s wider toolkit – Sits alongside Theta LCA Software, Theta EPD, epd.world and Carbon Accounting in WAP’s software suite, giving clients options to link asset-level environmental data with enterprise and portfolio ESG views.

Closing Insights

WAP ESG™ was born from the 2024 acquisition of Atmos AI, a startup founded in 2021 by Max Mona and Adam Jace, which itself had raised $1.7 million in seed funding. This strategic acquisition blended WAP's deep technical and strategic consulting competencies with a modern, AI-powered software platform, creating a hybrid service model. A key factor distinguishing WAP's approach is this combination of expert-led advisory services and self-service technology, a "new hybrid paradigm" designed to make robust ESG reporting accessible to more companies.

The value of WAP ESG™ could be enhanced by WAP's other services, such as ESG Managed Service, Compliance, and CDP support, which can act as a comprehensive, outsourced sustainability department. For financial firms and other organizations looking for a platform that combines software with expert guidance to operationalize ESG across their portfolio, WAP ESG™ presents a unified solution aimed at turning sustainability ambition into measurable action.
