From Disclosure to Action: Data-Driven Decarbonization for Enterprises

Abstract

Enterprises face immense pressure to address climate change by disclosing and reducing their GHG emissions across activities. While many companies have committed to long-term net-zero targets, there is a need for a systematic approach that can help enterprises to identify opportunities that can help them reduce their emissions. We address this gap by leveraging enterprise environmental data available in open domain and using data-driven approaches to create a sustainability knowledge base. We further perform clustering of enterprises based on parameters such as sector, geography, size, etc. We use the knowledge base and clusters to learn from similar enterprises and supply chains to identify enterprise decarbonization projects.
