Sustainability and Compliance ReportingPurpose
1.2. Automate gathering real-time utility consumption, production, and transportation data from distributed IoT, ERP, and SCADA systems into one repository for emissions factor calculation.
1.3. Automatedly map and convert raw data streams against officially designated emissions conversion factors and region-specific regulatory formulas.
1.4. Automate compilation of CO2e results into auditable, periodized reports meeting standards such as GHG Protocol or CDP.
1.5. Automate dissemination of compliance and summary reports to stakeholders, auditors, and regulatory bodies, minimizing human intervention and risk of reporting errors.
Trigger Conditions
