About

Built by people who audit sustainability for a living.

LittleLeaf comes out of years spent helping companies prove their sustainability claims — and seeing, again and again, the same missing piece: everyone can now report their emissions, but almost no one has a practical way to reduce the AI part of them.

Why we built LittleLeaf

Certifying and assuring sustainability claims for a living gives you a clear view of where companies get stuck. They invest heavily in measuring their footprint and in disclosure. But when it comes to actually reducing it, most of the footprint lives upstream — in supply chains and grids they can only nudge slowly and at great cost.

AI is different. It is one of the few sources of emissions a company can influence directly and immediately — it happens inside their own walls, by their own people, in tools they already manage. Yet no one was giving those people a signal at the one moment that matters: as they write the prompt.

So we built the signal. A small leaf, right where the work happens, that turns an invisible cost into an obvious, improvable one — and makes the greener choice also the cheaper and better one.

Our conviction is simple: sustainability and AI are now inseparable, and the reductions that stick come from changing behaviour, not just reporting numbers. LittleLeaf is behaviour change, built into the tools your people already use.

What we're building toward

A world where the lower-impact prompt is simply the obvious one — greener, cheaper, and more useful — so that reducing the environmental cost of AI is something every organisation can do, starting today, with something genuinely in their control.
