Case
Gerdau​

As Brazil’s largest multinational steel producer with operations in nine countries, Gerdau wanted to advance its climate agenda, particularly in the management and control of its greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions.

The company seek a reliable, traceable, and actionable digital platform to support its GHG emissions monitoring, with capabilities to (i) support decision-making on mitigation strategies and (ii) reporting to investors and external stakeholders.

To achieve this goal, Gerdau needed to scale up emissions management across all its business units, at a global scale, and expand and improve its Scope 3 carbon accounting quantification and monitoring.

Under our transition value proposition, WayCarbon integrated almost two decades of expertise in carbon accounting and monitoring into a world-class software: Ecosystem. The digitalization of our consulting and strategic capacity provided Gerdau with a robust cloud solution to tackle its challenges.

The action plan kicked off applying a climate maturity methodology, to assess the readiness of each operation, and applied a bespoken methodology to track and manage GHG emissions considering Gerdau’s unique characteristics.

The project was phased in three waves allowing for implementation, learning and adjustments in three regions: Brazil (first year), North America (second year) and Latin America Countries (third year).
