Problem
Many companies struggle to accurately measure and manage their environmental impact across their entire product portfolio due to the complexity and time-consuming nature of traditional Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). Existing carbon accounting tools often lack the granularity and scientific rigor needed to provide actionable insights, particularly regarding Scope 3 emissions and product-level data. This makes it difficult for businesses to comply with evolving environmental regulations, meet stakeholder demands for transparency, and identify effective strategies for reducing their carbon footprint.
Solution
Root Sustainability offers an automated LCA platform that simplifies the process of measuring and reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for large product portfolios. The platform enables businesses to upload their data and automatically transforms it into actionable carbon and environmental footprints, providing detailed insights at both the product and company levels. Interactive dashboards help identify key emission drivers, while a scenario builder allows users to model alternative reduction strategies. By integrating carbon accounting with LCA, Root provides a comprehensive view of a company's environmental footprint, ensuring compliance with standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14040/14044, and CSRD.
