Flipping the Script: Making Carbon Emissions Reporting a Breeze
In the ever-growing concern for environmental protection, it seems like carbon footprint regulations are getting tighter around the globe. Under European and national laws, hefty corporations in Romania need to subscribe to their annual carbon emissions, much to their clamor. Catălin Safta, CTO of Matricia Solutions, catches our attention with his view that companies often overestimate the task of conforming to these regulations.
"Companies are rushing to find the perfect resources to comply with these rules. It's more manageable than they think." Catălin Safta reckons.
The Romanian legislative framework, adapted from the European Union's Regulation 2023/956, targets large companies to figure out their direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions sourced from their operations. These emissions must be closely observed using essential elements like energy consumption, resource usage, and other processes leading to the carbon footprint. Accurate reporting of these emissions needs to conform to legal standards and includes submitting reports to the Ministry of Finance or national entities controlling the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
The Bullseye: Technology to the Rescue
"The silver lining? To comply with these requirements, companies don't need to invest in external auditors or employ experts in this area. They can leverage technology to simplify the monitoring and reporting process, using something they already have: invoices", asserts Catălin Safta.
At Matricia Solutions, we're transforming carbon emissions reporting from a tiresome obligation into a valuable advantage. Our cutting-edge platforms leverage advanced technology to decipher information from energy invoices automatically, producing precise carbon emissions calculations. This means companies can easily toe the line with legal requirements and submit reports to the relevant authorities without the need for unwieldy internal expertise.
Moreover, our solutions don't quit at compliance. By analyzing the retrieved data, companies gain insight into their environmental impact, helping identify primary emission sources, optimize energy use, and curb operational losses.

Beyond these benefits, our platforms cater to the specific requirements of large companies. Efficiently managing energy use and finances for multiple clinics within a large private hospital chain is just one of the customizations we offer, along with numerous other document-related solutions.
"Furthermore, by harnessing artificial intelligence, we constructed a system for categorizing and eliciting metadata from complicated documents such as contracts and their annexes. This system not only expedites the identification of fundamental information but also smoothes data extraction for sustainability reports", adds Catălin Safta.
This solution allows for easier integration of the necessary data to assess the environmental and societal impact of projects, contributing to operational efficiency and risk reduction in accordance with the company's sustainability objectives.
Therefore, reporting becomes more than merely a legal obligation - it becomes a valuable tool for innovation, increased efficiency, and transparency in interactions with stakeholders.
Digitalization can solve myriad issues, but you require the right partner to guide companies in identifying the Business challenges worth digitalizing, pairing technologies with needs.
