Carbon Emissions Tracking, Management Software
Industrial AI software developer IFS launched an agentic emissions operating system called IFS Zero that provides a single, unified calculation platform that lets “asset-intensive” organizations measure, disclose, and optimize their carbon emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 categories.
IFS Zero is purpose-built for carbon emissions management and created through extensive consultation with IFS customers in asset-intensive industries. Developed with customer needs in mind, IFS Zero works in concert with the broader IFS Sustainability Management module: the single destination where all sustainability data converges, spanning emissions, social impact, diversity metrics, and more, for corporate sustainability reporting.
While IFS Sustainability Management provides the overarching framework for enterprise-wide sustainability disclosures, IFS Zero goes deep on carbon, giving industrial organizations the granular, real-time emissions intelligence they need to move from reporting to action.
Lack of investment in emissions management has led to fragmented data, manual reconciliation, and reports that require significant time investment to create. IFS Zero puts agentic artificial intelligence to work across the entire data lifecycle - mapping sources, validating data, flagging anomalies, and producing audit-ready outputs - so sustainability teams spend less time on administration and more time driving decarbonization. The numbers reflect it: an audit-ready baseline in weeks, hundreds of hours of operational time saved annually, and a 30% reduction in data collection effort.
The rapid advancement of agentic Industrial AI presents a major opportunity to reduce emissions across asset-intensive industries. Research from sustainable investment firm Generation Investment Management, an IFS investor, suggests that, with full adoption across the three largest industrial sectors it serves, IFS technology could help abate over 2% of global CO₂ emissions. IFS Zero helps unlock this potential by giving industrial companies the ability to analyze emissions data and take action in real time.
"With IFS Zero, we're fundamentally changing how industrial companies approach emissions management,” claimed Caitlin Keam, v.p. - Manufacturing and Sustainability Applications at IFS. “For too long, sustainability has meant slow deployments, manual spreadsheets, and reporting after the fact. IFS Zero replaces that with an agentic operating system that delivers an emissions baseline in short timescales and enables visibility into your day-to-day operations. It allows customers to move beyond compliance and start using sustainability as a true strategic advantage."
