Why It’s Important
Enterprises will now rely more on AI to analyse their emissions data and identify areas with high carbon output. This level of detail is crucial for targeted interventions using advanced analytics to analyse trends, outliers, and correlations in formulating more effective sustainability strategies. Automating data collection and analysis allows companies to focus on sustainability strategies and environmental regulations rather than data management.
