What role does technology play in reducing supply chain emissions?
Rapid global transformations require scaleable solutions. We don’t have the luxury of strolling towards net zero at a snail’s pace. Technological innovation is essential to making the sustainable transition accessible, affordable, scaleable, and rapid.
That’s why it pays to explore the options available and choose credible providers with the tools, expertise, and data to get you where you need to go.
Emitwise understands that there are multiple approaches to managing carbon, and the most suitable can differ depending on several factors, such as the industry one works in.
Emitwise uses machine learning and AI to cross-reference various approaches to carbon accounting, quantify uncertainty, and promote transparency so that you can make decisions based on the best available data.
Carbon accounting tools are the most popular way for industry professionals to get to grips with their Scope 3 emissions data problems, but they aren’t all created equal.
There are lots of types of solutions out there, and they tend to fall into the following categories:
GHG management: solutions that focus on managing emissions only.
ESG software: Aims to provide a full suite of platforms for all ESG elements (environmental, social, and governance).
ESG reporting: A kind of ESG software that focuses on reporting.
Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) software: EHS covers emissions as well as health and safety data points like incident tracking and hazardous waste disposal.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems: ERP systems create centralised data repositories of company-level information, such as carbon footprints or compliance levels, that can be plugged into other data systems.
Supply chain management: Integrates carbon management into traditional supply chain management systems.
Carbon offsetting and sequestration: This solution involves finding verified carbon sequestration projects businesses can invest in to offset their own emissions.
