WayCarbon is the only Latin American provider on the list of innovative solutions for carbon management

CARBON MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 1 1

WayCarbon was the only Latin American organization listed in the “Smart Innovators: Carbon Management Software” and “Buyer’s Guide: Sustainability Reporting and Data Management Solutions” reports, recently published by Verdantix, an independent research and consulting firm based in England.

Carbon Management

The first report assesses innovation in the carbon management software sector, analyzing the offerings of 22 global suppliers in terms of features related to decarbonization and artificial intelligence. The WayCarbon Ecosystem digital platform was highlighted for its MAC Curve (Marginal Abatement Cost Curve) and goal management features.  

Introducing the publication, the report contextualizes that, in recent years, there have been some cases of large companies reducing or abandoning ambitious Net-Zero commitments due to limited technological preparedness, economic instability, and even political pressures. On the other hand, points such as the convergence between the financial agenda and the climate agenda, especially after the publication of IFRS S1 and S2 standards, demonstrate that the topic is at a turning point, with the market seeking greater clarity on which actions or transformations are most cost-effective and necessary in the short term.

As part of this overview, the Verdantix study states that more concrete decarbonization targets at the asset level are on the rise, as in the case of Amazon, which announced a $1 billion investment to decarbonize its ground transportation fleet in Europe.  

On the path to achieving these goals, sustainability leaders see competitiveness and cost pressures as the main challenges. “It is difficult to build a compelling business case, as this requires quantifying both tangible cost savings and intangible benefits. Even investments in energy transition are not widely seen as straightforward business cases. To present a compelling argument, leaders must demonstrate operational savings, risk mitigation, and potential revenue gains,” recommend Alessandra Leggieri and Ryan Skinner, authors of the survey.  

Another significant challenge lies in the silos between sustainability teams, responsible for strategy, and operational teams, responsible for budgeting and implementing decarbonization efforts. “This fragmentation reduces both top-down and bottom-up visibility of progress, making it more difficult to integrate sustainability initiatives into daily operations and accurately report consolidated progress on decarbonization goals,” the authors assess. Thus, the publication reinforces that the digital systems listed in the report have the potential to fill this gap by enabling data management at the operational level and integrating financial issues directly into decarbonization planning.   

ESG reporting and management

Demand for sustainability reporting and data management solutions is increasing in response to regulatory issues, rising investor expectations, and changing customer challenges. In this context, to help buyers make informed purchasing decisions, the Buyer’s Guide: Sustainability Reporting And Data Management Solutions report identified more than 100 sustainability reporting and data management solutions and provided a detailed analysis of 16 vendors. Ecosystem was one of only two solutions to meet all evaluation criteria, the first being “Sustainability data, regulatory content, and analytics” and the second being “ESG and sustainability reporting.”

Listed in the survey among the innovative solutions that can support organizations in this challenge, WayCarbon Ecosystem combines the advisory knowledge of WayCarbon experts with the scalability of technology in five complete modules: Emissions Management, Climate Risk Management, ESG Suppliers Management, ESG Indicator Management, and Reporting. The solution supports businesses with complex structures and processes, ensuring systematization, security, and analytical power.

“This (multimodular) approach helps companies monitor progress on sustainability, decarbonization, and climate initiatives, and is particularly well suited for emissions-intensive companies seeking to decarbonize their operations and manage climate risks as part of a broader sustainability strategy,” analyze Jessica Pransky, Luke Gowland, and Kim Knickle, authors of the report.
