ABOUT US

Our Mission
Delivering Solutions
To enable corporate sustainability and carbon reporting through clear, verifiable data tracking systems that simplify mandatory climate disclosure.
Our Operating Principles
Arteh Values
The core design choices that make our carbon reporting infrastructure reliable, audit-ready and accessible for Australian operations.

Science-Led Methodology  

The platform relies on peer-reviewed calculations. Every emission factor, calculation pathway and disclosure template aligns with the GHG Protocol and NGER framework requirements rather than arbitrary baselines.

Audit-Ready Frameworks  

Every data point within the Arteh platform links to a traceable source. The system constructs an automatic audit trail during data entry, ensures information remains organised and prepares your documentation for reasonable assurance reviews.

Scaled Support 

The system architecture accommodates mid-market organisations, specifically Group 2 and Group 3 entities. The tiered access model ensures enterprise-level reporting tools remain accessible to growing operations.

Australian Regulatory Focus

Arteh operates out of Brisbane and features design specifications tailored specifically to Australian legislative environments. The platform incorporates local emission factors and ASIC filing requirements directly into the core configuration.

Arteh Makes it Effortless

We manage complex Australian compliance logic automatically in the background so your internal team can stay completely focused on running day-to-day operations. We practice smooth onboarding procedures to fast-track your reporting cycles and give you total clarity.

Our Story
Assessment through Research and Technology to serve the Environment and Humanity

Arteh began in 2019 when Natalie Hurtado and Saphira Rekker met through the University of Queensland. Saphira was researching how to accurately measure corporate emissions alignment with Paris Agreement goals.

Natalie, drawing on her experience as an insurance industry regulator, saw that mandatory climate disclosure was coming and that most businesses would be unprepared.

When data scientist Hugo Silva joined as co-founder, the team had the three pillars they needed: regulatory insight, climate science methodology and engineering capability.

Who We Serve
Who We Help?

Arteh’s award-winning platform is built for any industry, thanks to its science-led design. However, we focus on three key sectors that gain the most value from using Arteh.

Mid-Market and SME Businesses Facing ASRS Obligations

If your business meets the Group 2 or Group 3 thresholds, you’ll need to prepare a sustainability report under AASB S2. For many mid-market businesses, this is the first time climate reporting has been mandatory.

Arteh is built for exactly this situation: affordable, self-serve, and designed so your finance or operations team can manage the process without hiring a sustainability consultant. Many larger companies are also now requiring their suppliers and contractors to report Scope 3 emissions — Arteh helps you get ahead of those supply chain requests.

Businesses Seeking Capital or Investment

Banks, institutional investors, and private equity firms are increasingly requiring portfolio companies to demonstrate climate risk awareness and emissions transparency. Having an AASB S2-compliant sustainability report signals maturity and governance rigour.

Arteh helps you produce the disclosures that lenders and investors are asking for — covering climate-related risks, transition planning, and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions — which can support better financing terms and smoother due diligence.

Resources, Mining, and Manufacturing

Arteh was built in Queensland with a deep understanding of the industries that drive the state’s economy. The platform handles the specific data requirements of resource extraction and manufacturing operations: diverse fuel types, chemical inputs, energy sources, and multi-site facility structures.

Whether you’re a junior explorer, a processing operation, or a manufacturer with complex supply chains, Arteh provides the emission factors and calculation pathways you need without searching for external data sources.
