What is Pathways?
Pathways is at the forefront of revolutionizing sustainability reporting for material manufacturers. The company has developed an advanced AI-enabled platform designed to automate the creation of real-time LCAs and EPDs. Traditionally, these critical environmental documents are produced manually, a process that is notoriously costly, complex, imprecise, and time-consuming, often taking between six to twelve months. Pathways addresses these inefficiencies by ingesting data directly from a customer's IT infrastructure, covering raw material inputs, transportation logistics, and manufacturing processes. This automated approach not only accelerates EPD generation but also facilitates continuous data integration, enabling manufacturers to easily identify emissions hotspots and monitor reduction progress, thereby supporting the broader mission of decarbonizing the manufacturing sector.
