Key Points
- The paper proposes an AI-driven framework to assess ESG performance in European SMEs, with a focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics.
- It builds an expert-validated ESG baseline using a subset of Flash Eurobarometer FL549 survey data, which serves as the ground reference for later automation.
- A second phase uses an n8n-based scalable AI agent system to classify ESG automatically and produce contextual recommendations via large language models (LLMs).
- The study reports high consistency between the AI system’s outputs and human-derived assessments, suggesting it can support monitoring and intervention efforts under the European Green Deal.
