SINAI Product Updates Q1 2026: Less Manual Work, Better Data, Faster Decisions

If you run sustainability processes inside a large organization, you know the work never really stops. Data still needs to move from source systems into your inventory. Suppliers still need to respond. Reports still need to hold up under scrutiny.

In Q1 2026, SINAI focused on reducing friction by automating ESG data collection, simplifying bulk uploads, and providing sustainability teams with better tools to engage suppliers and plan decarbonization. Here's what we shipped, and what it means for your team.

SINAI Measure

Automated Utility Bill Ingestion

Utility Bill Automation lets you bring utility data into your inventory in two ways: by connecting directly to your utility provider's portal, so the data flows in automatically, and via PDF invoice uploads, so SINAI’s AI tools can extract the relevant data to create activity records for you.

Either way, the outcome is the same. Data that used to require manual entry or spreadsheet reformatting now lands in your inventory ready for review. For teams managing dozens of facilities and hundreds of utility meters, this turns a recurring task into a background process, removing one of the most consistent sources of avoidable work in the measurement cycle.

SINAI Measure & Engage

AI Emissions Match

‍AI Emissions Match automatically matches your data uploads to emissions factors and supplier information.

When procurement exports, AP extracts, ERP files, and logistics data arrive in inconsistent formats or lack context, most carbon accounting tools respond to this by asking teams to reformat everything into a rigid template before any calculations can be made. That turns the hardest part of inventory work into a formatting exercise.

With SINAI, you can skip the template uploads entirely. Upload whatever files you have, and SINAI's AI Data Match Agent interprets the structure: detecting columns, reading units, understanding context, and matching each line item to the best-fit emission factor. Behind that matching sits a library of emissions factors built for enterprise scale:

• 100,000+ built-in emission factors from major datasets: Ecoinvent, US EPA, USEEIO, UK DEFRA, and Agribalyse
• 4 million+ supplier-specific emission factors for more accurate Scope 3 calculations without chasing every supplier for primary data
• Support for mass, volume, and distance units, as well as USD spend, broadening the range of files you can upload and match.

Mappings can be reviewed, bulk-edited, and carried forward to the next cycle. Business entities are classified automatically during upload. And every record keeps a full audit trail visible throughout: source file, match confidence, and emission factor provenance.

SINAI Engage

Supplier Surveys

SINAI’s Supplier Hub now includes full survey management. Build custom questionnaires for any data type, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 figures, revenue, and qualitative sustainability disclosures.

SINAI’s AI Survey Agent generates templates or auto-fills answers for greater efficiency. Send each form to multiple suppliers in one action. Track submission status in real time, send targeted reminders to specific contacts, and see exactly how incoming data feeds into your emissions calculations.

If your annual supplier data collection still relies on email threads and spreadsheet attachments, you already know the problem: follow-ups pile up, formats are inconsistent, and the data that eventually arrives must be manually reconciled before it's useful. SINAI makes supplier engagement more manageable, traceable, and repeatable, and places it on the same platform where the rest of your emissions inventory lives.

SINAI Report

Fugitive Emissions Reports

SINAI’s reports can now include exported data for fugitive emissions. Exports include a per-gas breakdown: one column per pure gas (HFC, PFC, SF6, NF3, and others) for more detailed reporting.

For teams preparing to report under the GHG Protocol, responses that require gas-level granularity now include a breakdown of fugitive gases, eliminating the need for extra spreadsheet steps.

Climate Risk Management

Climate Risk data within SINAI’s platform now helps teams identify, quantify, and monitor climate and nature-related risks across operations and value chains. SINAI leverages high-quality, third-party data intelligence integrated directly into the platform.

Forward-looking physical and transition risk signals are brought together with sector- and geography-specific factors and clear scoring, so teams can see where exposure is highest and why. The result is actionable insight: teams can prioritize mitigation actions, supplier engagement, and resilience investments using a consistent methodology and regularly refreshed data.

For organizations navigating TCFD, CSRD, IFRS S1 & S2, or internal risk reporting, SINAI's Climate Risk offering now supports repeatable reporting and ongoing tracking as conditions, portfolios, and regulations evolve without relying on separate tools or one-time assessments.

Updated Platform Navigation

We redesigned SINAI’s platform navigation to make it easier for sustainability teams to find the tools they need, based on how they actually manage emissions work.

The platform is now organized around four core stages of the sustainability workflow: Measure, Engage, Report, and Reduce. Each climate module sits within the phase where it is most relevant, helping teams move faster and stay aligned across their emissions processes.

• Measure
  Measure brings together the tools teams use to build and manage their emissions inventory. This includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon accounting, waste and water tracking, emissions forecasting, hotspot identification, inventory management plans, product carbon footprints, AI emissions matching, utility bill automation, audit-ready data exports, dynamic data visualizations, and data governance tools.
• Engage
  Engage supports supplier collaboration and supply chain decarbonization. Supplier Hub includes custom surveys, response-tracking workflows, supplier-specific emission factors, supplier emissions analytics, and tools to build supplier engagement strategies that drive measurable emissions reductions.
• Report
  Report helps teams prepare disclosures, track progress, and align with major climate and ESG reporting frameworks. This includes transition plans with AI-powered reduction suggestions, ESG disclosure support, reporting for frameworks such as CSRD, ISSB/IFRS, TCFD, GHG Protocol Brazil, and others, and analytics dashboards.
• Reduce
  Reduce brings together the tools teams need to turn emissions data into action. This includes emissions reduction projects, financial modeling, interactive marginal abatement cost curves, facility planning, scenario modeling, decarbonization roadmaps, and target setting.

The redesigned navigation also introduces a refreshed, modern visual experience across the platform. By aligning SINAI around these four stages, teams can quickly orient themselves, connect their work to the right emissions workflow, and find the tools they need with less friction.

A Great Start to 2026, with More to Come

In the first part of the year, across all launches, a common theme emerged: reducing friction, streamlining processes, and saving time for sustainability teams, so they can focus on aligning goals with business metrics instead of manual, repetitive tasks. This represents sustainability with a clear plan. 

2026 continues in this direction with deeper integrations and more automation across the data-collection workflows that consume the most time in a typical inventory cycle.
