50X Impact vs Arbor

50X Impact is a web sustainability intelligence platform for sports organizations, venues, and events. It maps venues, departments, assets, and events in a Digital Twin that can be duplicated for future seasons or events. The platform tracks Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across sites and operations, with built-in emissions factors, supplier engagement, API access, and an audit trail. Impact Pilot produces rules-based reports for GRI, CSRD, GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 20121, and its sustainability AI assistant can analyze footprint data, answer natural-language questions, create reports, and suggest reduction actions. Data collection can use APIs, image-to-text AI, speech-to-text, and supplier reminders. Sports functions include travel emissions, supply-chain tracking, shared attribution, stakeholder dashboards, and season tracking. Teams can assign tasks, set deadlines, and receive reminders; benchmarking against anonymized peers is also listed. Data is encrypted in a dedicated environment and not shared with third-party model providers. Pricing is on request, with personalized demos available.
