Watershed’s approach to AI

Watershed takes a sustainability-centered approach to deploying artificial intelligence. Our climate and data scientists work side-by-side with engineers to embed sustainability data into AI models. You control your data and can use primary data to refine the model results, giving you the most granular and actionable results at an otherwise impossible speed.

Sustainability AI principles

Use cases

Decompose your supply chain for smarter procurement decisions

From fabrics 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.

  • Build PCFs for your supply chain in a single click.
  • Tie your product footprints back to your corporate footprint and report on overall progress.

Simulate the impact of potential decarbonization levers

Use AI to simulate how different product or procurement decisions would influence your overall product footprint.

  • Easily override outputs with primary data.
  • Compare suppliers, materials and other potential shifts.
  • Compare versions to understand how changes trickle down the supply chain.
