Organizations face mounting pressure from governments, consumers, and stakeholders to reduce their carbon footprints. Carbon accounting, the practice of tracking, measuring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has become a critical tool in this endeavor. With 90% of Fortune 500 companies committed to sustainability goals, the demand for effective carbon accounting solutions is surging. However, companies often grapple with complex supply chains and a lack of real-time data, making accurate carbon accounting a daunting task. This is where technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence, enters the scene. AI offers a powerful toolkit for automating and optimizing emission tracking, identifying inefficiencies, and providing actionable insights.
