Every algorithmic decision, every stored data point, and every ton of CO₂ emitted is tracked, audited, and improved. Certifications are renewed, independent ratings are improving, and alignment with the Paris Agreement, CSRD, and the EU AI Act is maintained. > Trust is not claimed. It is demonstrated, year after year. > > Laurent Pontier, CTO Chief of Staff, Sidetrade ## **Reducing the carbon footprint of an AI-native platform** Sidetrade’s carbon footprint assessment covers Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with GHG Protocol and BEGES standards. In 2025, Sidetrade emitted 2,243 tons of CO₂ equivalent across all its offices. Carbon intensity per invoice processed decreased by 16.7%, while subscription revenue grew by 20% at constant currency, illustrating a decoupling between growth and emissions. More than 90% of the footprint comes from Scope 3. Sidetrade focuses its efforts on digital sobriety, sustainable mobility, responsible purchasing, and extending equipment lifespan through circular economy practices. 2026 target: -2.5%. Sidetrade’s Private Cloud avoids reliance on general-purpose hyperscalers, enabling tighter control over emissions related to servers and cloud infrastructure. Being sovereign over its IT also means being sovereign over its footprint.

Sidetraders are based in North America, Europe, and APAC. [Egapro](https://egapro.travail.gouv.fr/) Index 2025: 91/100 (Group) This index reflects sustained progress in ensuring equal opportunities for women and men across the Group. ## **Data security, AI governance, and trust** [https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/) #### **[ISO/IEC 27001:2022](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/)** The ISO 27001 certification covers all Sidetrade sites, processes, and AI systems, including Aimie. Renewed annually by EY CertifyPoint since 2019. In [2025](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/) it was migrated to the 2022 version of the standard, with no significant non-conformities. #### **[SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/)** Obtained in [January 2026](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/soc-1-type-2-soc-2-type-2-iso-27001-certification-2026/) , the SOC Type II reports confirm the operational effectiveness of internal controls over financial processing and the application development lifecycle.

They provide explainable recommendations that can be adjusted manually and are subject to quality control mechanisms. The AI Systems Security Policy governs algorithmic bias and excludes personal data. Sovereign architecture: proprietary infrastructure, in-house AI models, full segregation of client data, and no reliance on third-party AI models. ## ****Ethical commitments and independent recognition**** In 2025, [EthiFinance](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/) awarded Sidetrade a Gold medal (79/100), reflecting continuous improvement from 62/100 in 2023. [EcoVadis](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/) granted a Silver medal (70/100), placing Sidetrade in the top 15% globally. These assessments highlight progress in governance, labor rights, sustainable procurement, and alignment with the CSRD. Since January 2023, Sidetrade has been a signatory of the 10 principles of the [United Nations Global Compact](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/sidetrade-joins-united-nations-global-compact/) , covering human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. In 2025, Sidetrade was included in the Euronext Tech Leaders 2025 ranking (among the 110 most dynamic tech companies in Europe) and in Fortune Europe’s Most Innovative Companies 2025 (ranked 141st out of 300, recognized for its innovation culture). [https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/) [https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/2025-sustainability-ratings/) [https://www.sidetrade.com/news/sidetrade-joins-united-nations-global-compact/](https://www.sidetrade.com/news/sidetrade-joins-united-nations-global-compact/) Why is CSR critical for an AI platform like Sidetrade? [Sidetrade’s Data Lake](https://datalake.sidetrade.com/) aggregates billions of dollars in B2B transactions. At this scale, data governance and algorithmic transparency are essential to customer trust and regulatory compliance. Sidetrade’s CSR strategy is overseen by a six-member Committee, including the CFO, the CHRO, and the Chief Communications Officer. The CSR policy is regularly shared with Sidetrade’s Board of Directors. Which regulatory frameworks is Sidetrade anticipating beyond GDPR? Sidetrade is already aligned with the CSRD, which expands non-financial reporting requirements, and is preparing for the EU AI Act, covering risk management and transparency requirements for financial AI systems. The combination of ISO 27001 and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II provides a strong trust signal for companies subject to Sarbanes-Oxley when assessing AI vendors involved in critical financial processes. Does Sidetrade use third-party AI models, such as ChatGPT or Gemini? No. Sidetrade’s architecture has been sovereign from the outset. Its infrastructure, AI models, including a specialized O2C LLM, and payment data operate within a proprietary environment. Aimie, its agentic AI, is trained exclusively on the [Sidetrade Data Lake](https://datalake.sidetrade.com/) . This technological independence is a deliberate choice driven by security, compliance, and responsibility. ### Index de l’égalité professionnelle 2025 chez Sidetrade **Critère Egapro (France**)**Barème****Score**Écart de rémunération femmes-hommes4035Répartition des augmentations individuelles3535Augmentation au retour de congé maternité1515Parité parmi les 10 plus hautes rémunérations105**Total****100****90** [↑](#)
