Why subscribe

Written by the people doing the work

Not a marketing team repackaging someone else's research. Every issue comes from a named Speeki practitioner — the CEO, the Head of Certification, the Product Director — writing about what they're actually seeing with clients.

One real story, one practical takeaway

A genuine, recent development in the field plus a straight opinion on what it means for you — no filler, no generic listicle padding to hit a word count.

Pick exactly what's relevant

15 subject tracks from AI governance to whistleblowing, or follow one person's writing directly if it's their judgment you trust. Subscribe to one or as many as you want.

Real references, never generic downloads

Every whitepaper and product mention links to something specific and real on Speeki's own resource library — never a vague "learn more" that goes nowhere.

15 subject tracks covering the ground Speeki works in every day.

AI Governance & Assurance

Board-level AI oversight, ISO 42001, and what Nicole teaches us about human-in-the-loop AI.

ESG Ratings Readiness

Why your rating is probably lower than your real performance, and how to fix it before the questionnaire lands.

Latest: Ratings-ready: preparing for ESG rating agencies before they come knocking

Sustainability Assurance & CSRD

The shift from limited to reasonable assurance, and why the clean-opinion model is producing less trust, not more.

Carbon & GHG Verification

Scope 3 is where your emissions actually live, and where verification has to start before the reporting year ends.

Circularity & Product Sustainability

Organisation- and product-level circularity verification, from PCDS to ISO 59020.

Nature, Biodiversity & TNFD

Nature-related disclosure is catching up to climate disclosure, fast.

Green Claims & Environmental Marketing

Regulators no longer need to prove you intended to mislead — only that a reasonable person could be misled.

Anti-Bribery & Compliance

You probably already have most of the ISO 37001 controls — the work is finding and mapping them.

Whistleblowing & Speak-Up Culture

Zero reports isn't proof of a clean organisation — under ISO 37002 it's evidence of a trust problem.

Board Governance & NED Effectiveness

Assurance oversight belongs on the audit committee's agenda, not the sustainability committee's.

Cybersecurity & Information Security

ISO 27001 as a fiduciary problem, not just an IT project.

Sustainability Management Systems

Start with obligations, not impacts — the sequencing mistake behind most sustainability programmes.

Digital Transformation & Agentic AI

What changes when AI does the evidence review — and what still can't.

The Non-Financial Audit Function

Financial audit has a century of infrastructure. Non-financial assurance has almost none.

Latest: What boards should ask their auditors in 2026

ESG & Sustainability Due Diligence

Undisclosed ESG risk surfaces in the supply chain and the deal room, not the sustainability report.
