What AI Sees, It Shares: Structuring your environmental data to rank with LLMs
Written by Katja Ovchinnikova, Technical Lead at Earthmark
Large language models (LLMs) are quickly becoming the new gatekeepers of brand discovery.
When customers ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI “Which brands are sustainable?” — the model scans for signals.
If your environmental data is:
📑 Buried in PDFs
⚠️ Written in vague language
🔍 Missing verification or structure
…it may never be surfaced. Even if you are a brand focused on sustainability.
LLMs prioritise data that is:
✅ Structured — machine-readable emissions, waste, and supply chain metrics
✅ Verifiable — linked to credible third-party sources, not just brand statements
✅ Consistent — aligned across reports, websites, and product copy
In other words: what AI can see, it will share. What it can’t, it won’t.
This is the next frontier for brand visibility.
Getting climate comms AI-ready isn’t just a technical exercise — it’s the difference between being cited in answers…or disappearing from them.
If your impact data isn’t structured, you’re not just invisible to AI. You’re invisible to your future customers.
