Challenge
As a large-scale mining company, Barrick Gold faced significant challenges in tracking and reducing its environmental footprint.

The platform enabled real-time tracking of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, providing actionable insights to reduce carbon output. Additionally, EDAT facilitated comprehensive water and waste management reporting, helping the company optimize resource usage and mitigate environmental risks.
