We are really pleased to share that HowtoESG has independently reviewed Sprig™, LilMa Green’s free AI digital ESG consultant designed for UK and EU micro businesses and SMEs.
Their write-up explores what Sprig™ is built for, who it helps, and how it differs from general AI tools. The review recognises something we care deeply about at LilMa Green: small businesses need sustainability support that is practical, proportionate, and usable in the real world – not expensive systems built for large corporates.
HowtoESG highlighted Sprig’s strength in helping small teams turn scattered business information into something more useful: a simple emissions baseline, a focused action plan, and buyer-ready sustainability information. The review also notes that Sprig is especially relevant for businesses responding to client ESG questions, supply-chain requests, or early-stage carbon reporting needs.
In its tests, HowtoESG found Sprig’s outputs structured and practical, particularly for SMEs needing support with:
- Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions baselining
- ESG action records and impact logs
- one-page sustainability policies and summaries
- supplier or client-ready ESG responses
The review also points out an important principle we agree with: AI should support human judgement, not replace it. Sprig is designed to help businesses get started faster, stay organised, and communicate progress clearly – while keeping outputs grounded in recognised frameworks and reviewed by real people before formal use.
For LilMa Green, that has always been the goal: lowering the barrier to ESG for smaller firms that are short on time, budget, and in-house expertise.
