How Rio Simplifies Scope 3 Emissions Reporting In Oil and Gas

As the Oil and Gas industry navigates increasing regulatory pressures and stakeholder demands for sustainability, effectively managing Scope 3 emissions has become a non-negotiable priority. However, the complexity of tracking emissions across the value chain can feel overwhelming for Sustainability Managers. That’s where Rio AI comes in, offering a comprehensive, user-friendly platform designed to simplify the measurement, management, and reporting of Scope 3 emissions.

Here’s how Rio can transform your approach to Scope 3 emissions reporting.

1. Streamlined Data Collection Across the Value Chain

Collecting accurate emissions data from upstream suppliers and downstream customers can be one of the biggest hurdles in Scope 3 reporting. Rio’s platform eliminates these challenges by:

• Automating data gathering: Seamlessly integrate with suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders to capture emissions data across all 15 Scope 3 categories.
• Standardising data inputs: Ensure consistency with built-in frameworks aligned to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
• Real-time data synchronisation: Track emissions metrics in real-time to identify trends and make proactive decisions.

By centralising and automating data collection, Rio reduces the time and resources required for this critical step.

2. Advanced Analytics for Accurate Emissions

At Rio, we’ve made it our mission to close this gap by prioritising data quality and completeness. Unlike many solutions that rely heavily on estimation methods, Rio focuses on leveraging actual supply chain data. Our approach ensures that our clients achieve an average of 80% on both data quality and completeness.
