How Watershed approaches AI
We've developed AI systems specifically for sustainability — with sustainability intelligence, error safeguards, and transparency.
How it works
Automate activity-based Scope 3.1 measurement
Watershed immediately maps the products you purchase to the best-fit activity-based emissions factor — and shares a match score & rationale to give you transparency into every line item.
View product footprints for every material in your supply chain
From bicycle components to circuit boards to heavy machinery, Watershed’s AI model deconstructs every material and product into the components and processes that comprise them, measuring the emissions at each step.
Find decarb hotspots in your supply chain
Dive into emissions and purchase data across your portfolio to define your strategy around which materials, suppliers, and processes have the greatest impacts.
Compare suppliers, materials, and variants
Pinpoint the suppliers, plants, and materials driving your emissions, and prioritize the most effective strategies for impact.
Simulate the impact of potential decarbonization levers
Edit product footprints to understand the impacts of changes to how a given material was made, and compare versions to understand how changes trickle down the supply chain.
Sync product footprints with your corporate footprint
Ensure your corporate inventory reflects the decisions you have made about suppliers, renewable energy, and materials.
