Real-World Impact: Our Success Stories
Manufacturing: Automating Scope 3 Emissions for a Global Packaging Leader
Client Overview: A Fortune 500 manufacturing company with a complex global supply chain, facing intense pressure from investors to provide accurate and comprehensive data on their Scope 3 (value chain) emissions.
The Problem: Their existing process for calculating Scope 3 emissions was manual, relying on supplier surveys and industry averages. It was slow, prone to errors, and lacked the granularity needed for strategic decision-making, putting them at risk of greenwashing accusations.
Key Challenges:
- Collecting consistent data from thousands of global suppliers.
- Lack of visibility into logistics and transportation emissions.
- Difficulty in tracking the lifecycle emissions of their products.
- Inability to identify the highest-impact areas for decarbonization efforts.
Our Solution:
We developed a custom AI platform that integrated with their procurement, ERP, and logistics systems. The solution used Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract data from supplier reports and machine learning to model emissions from raw material extraction, transportation, and product end-of-life.
- Automated data ingestion pipelines from diverse sources.
- ML models to calculate emissions based on spend data and activity data.
- An interactive dashboard to visualize carbon hotspots across the value chain.
- Scenario analysis tools to model the impact of supplier switching.

Energy: AI-Powered Grid Optimization for a Major Utility Provider
Client Overview: A leading energy utility company managing a diverse portfolio of traditional and renewable energy sources. They needed to improve grid stability while maximizing the use of wind and solar power.
The Problem: The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources created challenges in balancing supply and demand, leading to reliance on expensive and carbon-intensive peaker plants and risking grid instability during peak hours.
Key Challenges:
- Inaccurate forecasting of renewable energy generation.
- Difficulty predicting real-time energy demand at a granular level.
- Inefficient dispatch of energy storage and generation assets.
- High operational costs associated with grid balancing.
Our Solution:
We deployed an AI-powered forecasting and optimization engine. The system ingested weather data, historical demand patterns, and real-time grid sensor data to create highly accurate predictions for both renewable supply and consumer demand. A reinforcement learning model then recommended the optimal dispatch strategy in real-time.
- Time-series models for wind and solar generation forecasting.
- AI-driven demand prediction for different geographical zones.
- Real-time optimization engine for energy storage and dispatch.
- Predictive maintenance alerts for critical grid infrastructure.
"The AI solution from Errna gave us the foresight we needed to truly integrate renewables at scale. We're running a cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient grid."

Finance: Quantifying Climate Risk in Investment Portfolios
Client Overview: A global asset management firm with hundreds of billions in assets under management, needing to comply with new TCFD regulations and meet growing client demand for ESG-integrated investment products.
The Problem: The firm lacked a systematic, data-driven way to assess the exposure of their investment portfolio to both physical climate risks (like floods and wildfires) and transition risks (like carbon taxes and changing consumer behavior).
Key Challenges:
- Analyzing unstructured data from corporate disclosures and news.
- Mapping physical asset locations to climate model projections.
- Quantifying the potential financial impact of various climate scenarios.
- Integrating climate risk scores into their existing portfolio management workflow.
Our Solution:
We built a comprehensive Climate Risk Analytics Platform. The platform used NLP to analyze company reports for climate-related statements, geospatial analysis to assess physical risk, and economic modeling to simulate the impact of transition risks. The output was a clear risk score for each asset in their portfolio.
- NLP engine to score corporate climate disclosures and sentiment.
- Geospatial mapping of assets against climate hazard data.
- AI-powered scenario analysis based on IPCC climate pathways.
- API integration to feed risk scores directly into their trading systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implementation timelines vary based on complexity and data readiness. A typical project follows a phased approach: a 4-6 week discovery and data assessment phase, followed by a 3-6 month period for model development and platform deployment for an initial use case. We focus on delivering value quickly, often launching a pilot or MVP within the first few months.
Absolutely. This is a very common challenge and a core part of our expertise. Our first step is always a Data Readiness Assessment. We specialize in building robust data pipelines that can ingest, clean, standardize, and integrate data from various sources like ERPs, spreadsheets, IoT sensors, and third-party reports to create a single, reliable dataset for analysis.
We prioritize model accuracy and transparency. Our process involves rigorous back-testing against historical data, continuous monitoring of model performance, and a "human-in-the-loop" approach for critical decisions. We also specialize in Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, which provide clear reasoning behind the model's outputs, ensuring you can trust and defend the insights generated.
ROI comes from multiple areas. Direct ROI is often seen through operational efficiencies, such as reduced energy/water consumption (5-20% savings is common) and waste minimization. Indirect ROI includes enhanced brand reputation, improved access to capital from ESG investors, mitigation of climate-related financial risks, and attracting/retaining top talent. We work with you to build a specific business case during the discovery phase.
Our solutions are designed for seamless integration. We can deliver insights via API to your existing BI platforms (like Tableau or Power BI), push data to your data warehouse, or provide a standalone, interactive dashboard. Our goal is to fit into your existing workflow to maximize adoption and usability.
