Built to deliver actionable insights, the Worldly AI tool helps brands and suppliers anticipate risks, comply with regulatory deadlines, and prioritise interventions.
Worldly Axion derives these insights from assessing Worldly’s dataset from various facilities, including factors related to heat, water scarcity, climate change, and transition risks.
Its built-in AI system aids teams in interpreting this data for purposes such as planning greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategies or developing coal phase-out plans for factories. This information provides businesses with a comprehensive view of their operational and supplier vulnerabilities, said Worldly.
Worldly CEO Scott Raskin explained: “We built Worldly Axion to help companies not just understand their supply chain impacts, but anticipate where those impacts —and opportunities — are accelerating. From physical climate risk to emissions exposure to regulatory shifts, Worldly Axion helps teams act decisively, strategically, and with confidence.”
Worldly developed the solution in partnership with Earthena, an AI-native enterprise intelligence company. Through the partnership, Worldly’s supply chain know-how is paired with Earthena’s advanced modelling and reasoning across climate, water, energy, policy and related areas, to produce new, practical insights that companies can act on.
Benefits of Worldly Axion for businesses
Worldly Axion enables consumer goods companies to utilise resources “more efficiently” and their sustainability efforts “more effectively”.
The solution can help companies identify suppliers at risk from environmental factors such as excessive heat and protect workers in facilities that lack adequate climate controls.
Worldly Axion can also forecast emissions and financial risks associated with carbon pricing and regulations and show the most impactful decarbonisation investments.
It can integrate predictive risk insights into supplier evaluations for better sourcing decisions. The solution can also help expedite compliance with emerging disclosure regulations like IFRS S2, California SB 261, and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Furthermore, Worldly Axion simplifies detailed facility-level data into clear, actionable steps, enhanced by area-specific context and AI-driven recommendations. This enables companies to prioritise environmental spending and take faster, better-informed action.
Li & Fung sustainability head Jonathan Salmon said: “This data gives us a starting point for real collaboration. Instead of just showing numbers, it helps bring together teams from both manufacturers and brands, and provides the insights needed to spot opportunities, understand risks, and make meaningful changes together.”
