DitchCarbon powers Business Action Bank chatbot 'Aurora' to help organisations tackle supply chain emissions in real time
Aurora, a UN-backed Business Action Bank chatbot powered by DitchCarbon, gives organisations instant, data-driven guidance to cut supply-chain emissions.
LONDON, United Kingdom, 20 November 2025. DitchCarbon announced the launch of Aurora, a new AI-powered chatbot available on the Business Action Bank homepage, designed to help organisations reduce supplier emissions and address Scope 3 challenges with instant, data-backed guidance.
With the COP climate negotiations driving renewed urgency for tangible corporate climate action, the Business Action Bank is accelerating its efforts to equip organisations with accessible, actionable tools. Aurora is a central component of this push, helping companies translate ambition into measurable progress. DitchCarbon is powering this initiative with its global emissions intelligence and technical expertise.
Aurora leverages DitchCarbon's proprietary database of emissions insights covering 1.3 million companies worldwide, enabling users to access practical examples, case studies, and best practices for decarbonising their supply chains, directly from the Business Action Bank website.
Real-Time Support for Scope 3 and Supplier Decarbonisation
With supply chain (Scope 3) emissions often accounting for the majority of a company's footprint, many organisations struggle to know where to start and how to move from strategy to action. Aurora is designed to close that gap by providing:
- Case studies showcasing how organisations are reducing supplier emissions in practice
- Best practices for measuring, managing, and reducing Scope 3 emissions
- Guidance on supplier engagement, data collection, and setting credible targets
Users can simply ask questions in natural language, such as "How can I reduce emissions from my packaging suppliers?" or "What are effective ways to engage suppliers on SBTi?", and Aurora responds instantly with structured, evidence-based answers.
Aurora is built on DitchCarbon's emissions intelligence platform, which aggregates standardised data across more than 1.3 million companies. This foundation enables the chatbot to:
- Draw on a broad, global view of corporate emissions performance
- Highlight relevant examples and peer benchmarks
- Provide contextual, data-informed responses rather than generic advice
In addition to DitchCarbon's insights, Aurora integrates case studies, guidance materials, and best practices from across the United Nations system, ensuring that users benefit from both industry-leading data and globally recognised policy and programme expertise.
"Many organisations know they need to act on Scope 3, but they're overwhelmed by complexity," said Marc Munier, CEO at DitchCarbon. "By partnering with the United Nations and the Business Action Bank to launch Aurora, especially ahead of COP, we're making it radically easier for anyone, regardless of size or sector, to access practical, data-backed guidance on what to do next."
A New Way to Learn, Explore, and Act
Aurora is designed to support a wide range of users, from sustainability and procurement teams to policymakers, consultants, and NGOs. Typical use cases include:
- Exploring sector-specific approaches to reducing supply chain emissions
- Learning how to prioritise suppliers based on impact and feasibility
- Understanding what 'good' looks like in supplier engagement and target setting
- Discovering real-world examples of decarbonisation actions and programmes
Unlike static reports or PDFs, Aurora offers an interactive experience, allowing users to ask follow-up questions, refine their queries, and explore topics in depth, all in one conversation.
Collaboration for Scalable Climate Action
The launch of Aurora on the Business Action Bank platform underscores the growing importance of collaboration between technology providers and global institutions, especially as the world approaches another crucial round of climate negotiations at COP.
"Accelerating progress on Scope 3 emissions requires accessible tools and shared knowledge," said Alex Rudnicki, COO at DitchCarbon. "We're proud that DitchCarbon's data and technology are helping the Business Action Bank move quickly ahead of COP and support climate action at global scale."
Aurora is now live and accessible on the Business Action Bank homepage. Users can start chatting with Aurora immediately to explore case studies, guidance, and best practices on supplier and Scope 3 decarbonisation. Talk to Aurora now: businessactionbank.org

About DitchCarbon
DitchCarbon is the Scope 3 emissions platform for large organisations. It combines verified emissions data for over 2 million organisations, built on primary emissions data wherever it exists, with the tools procurement, sustainability and finance teams need to measure supply chain and portfolio emissions and deliver measurable reductions. Teams use it to calculate an audit-ready baseline by hybrid calculation, engage suppliers and portfolio companies where they are, plan reductions from what peers have already achieved, and forecast and track progress against targets, with scenario and transition planning. The result is less time spent chasing data, numbers that stand up to assurance, and evidence of progress for customers, rating agencies and lenders.
