Categorization Methodology

Our framework for categorizing carbon management SMEs evaluates their AI adoption across two dimensions: “Scope of AI Deployment in Carbon Management” (ranging from limited, process-specific implementations to extensive, organization-wide integrations) and “Depth of AI Maturity” (ranging from early-stage experimentation to advanced, optimized systems). This dual approach assesses the breadth of AI applications across carbon-related processes—such as emissions tracking, regulatory reporting, climate risk modeling, and decarbonization strategy—and the technical sophistication of those systems, highlighting SMEs’ progress in leveraging AI for transparent and impactful carbon management. The categorization process involves a rigorous analysis of available data, including SME websites, case studies, partnership announcements, and AI outcomes.

This systematic evaluation yields four categories: Market Leaders (extensive organization-wide AI with advanced maturity, delivering scale, consistency, and proven ROI); Impact Drivers (limited-to-moderate scope with intermediate-to-advanced maturity, excelling in specialized AI applications with measurable carbon outcomes); Fast Movers (moderate-to-extensive scope with intermediate-to-advanced maturity, aggressively expanding AI with early success); and Emerging Players (limited scope with early-stage-to-intermediate maturity, exploring AI with high future potential).
