The new partnership marks the first-of-its-kind industry collaboration to identify CO2 e emissions across supply chains
BRF, Raízen, Rumo, AMAGGI and SINAI Technologies, announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration to collect, calculate, forecast and share primary emissions data across the global supply chain to drive industry mitigation and decarbonisation.
Through this collaboration, the companies reinforce commitments to the global agenda, understanding that engagement is essential to reach decarbonisation. This is the first time – in any industry – for a collaborative initiative with the shared goal of identifying decarbonisation opportunities throughout all supply chain operations. While this first partnership focuses on the agriculture industry, the goal is to accelerate the deployment of low carbon solutions across any and all supply chains.
The companies will connect emissions from seed processing to agricultural production, trading, logistics, feed and food production and operation, and finally distribution from Brazil to global markets using SINAI Technologies’ decarbonisation platform. From a consumer perspective, this yields the potential to see carbon-neutral food products available at your local supermarket.
The companies are utilising SINAI Technologies’ decarbonisation platform to allow industry experts to develop emission allocation frameworks based on the primary data provided while prioritising data privacy. The goal is for software to provide automated allocation methodologies that are developed and reviewed by sustainability experts to guarantee that the primary data in this way will provide accuracy and transparency which may incentivise the adoption of low carbon solutions, and contribute to the liquidity and reliability of off-sets and in-sets in a voluntary market. All data collected will be audited by a third party to validate the data, allocation methodologies, and calculations in SINAI’s decarbonization platform.
SINAI Technologies, a San Francisco-based startup that provides organisations with the technology tools needed to build effective decarbonisation strategies, is acting as the technology partner. SINAI’s newly-launched Value Chain Module calculates Scope 3 emissions for participating companies using the same accounting methodology across the chain. The software also demonstrates how to allocate emissions at the product level, from the facility level (GHG inventories), without using common outdated product databases.
