The Challenge:
A Major Automotive Company needed supplier-level data to meet CSRD requirements.
That pressure flowed downstream. Tier 1 suppliers pushed requirements on Tier 2 and Tier 3 partners, many of whom had limited sustainability experience and lacked the time, tools, & resources to keep up.
The smaller suppliers needed straightforward and cost-effective way to:
- Prepare and share sustainability data with customers via Catena-X or other supplier portals
- Align with key reporting standards:
- Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) – The summary metric of kg of CO2e per product unit sold
- Primary Data Share (PDS) – The share reported emissions in the PCF from original source data, not estimates
- Primary Data Quality (PDQ) – A score that represents the quality of data inputs, as measured by their freshness, granularity, context, issuer quality and so on
THE Solution:
AI-Driven Automation,
Zero Complexity
GLYNT.AI’s AI-powered sustainability data service helped suppliers process unstructured data – from energy, water, and waste – without setup delays, extra cost, or additional developer support.
As a SOC 1–audited data service, GLYNT delivers:
- Built-in quality checks

HOW IT WORKED
1. The supplier pointed us in the direction of the raw source files – which were unorganized and in bulk.
2. GLYNT.AI ingested the files using ‘few-shot ML,’ identified each one, and processed them.
3. Within Week 1:
95% of files were delivered in the required format
Duplicates flagged, errors resolved
4. The remaining 5% (complex: multi-meter, multi-service, multi-location invoice) were clarified with the customer and formatted precisely.
“With GLYNT.AI, our sustainability team spends more time actually using the data, not chasing after it. We’ve gained visibility, speed, and accuracy across various departments – all at once.”
