Locus Technologies Refrigerant Management Software Featured in Article by TriplePundit
As Global Efforts to Reduce Refrigerant Emissions Gain Momentum, This Software Helps Companies Track Their Use
With a global shift toward natural refrigerants and other alternatives underway — including stricter government regulation in some countries — tracking refrigerants is a matter of economic necessity and regulatory compliance.
To help companies make the transition, Locus Technologies launched software that tracks refrigerant use, accurately manages refrigerant phasedowns and prevents excess emissions. The Locus Refrigerant Management software also sends alerts when the amount of refrigerant that is supposed to be used is exceeded, detects leaks and creates leak response protocols.

After securing a leadership position in “E,” Locus strengthens “S” offerings in ESG
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., January 28, 2025 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, proudly announces its strategic partnership with Sophare AI to tackle one of the most complex aspects of ESG: social and pay equity. This collaboration will empower organizations worldwide to address pressing regulatory and ethical challenges through innovative technology and unparalleled domain expertise–without jumping between multiple ESG apps and platforms, which adds time and expense to the disclosure process.
As part of this partnership, Sophare will extend Locus’s ESG software platform with new capabilities designed to address three critical areas:
- European Union Pay Transparency Directive Compliance: Sophare’s AI-powered tools help organizations navigate and comply with the EU’s directive, which mandates companies with 100+ employees to disclose gender pay gaps and provide transparent pay structures by 2026.
- Global Gender Pay Gap Reporting: With reporting requirements spreading across the EU, UK, Australia, and beyond, Sophare centralizes reporting of multi-jurisdictional compliance and uses AI and automation to streamline reporting.
- Alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5: Sophare AI empowers companies to align with SDG 5 by shining a light on data related to gender equality in leadership and employee compensation.
“This partnership aligns with Locus’s track record of working with professionals who bring deep domain expertise,” said Dr. Zvonimir Dadić, head of the CSRD Practice Group for Locus Technologies Europe. “Sophare’s founding team combines technical chops with a thoughtful approach to legal compliance, and we are pleased to be able to offer our clients this streamlined path to compliance.”
Sophare AI CEO, Siena Duplan, brings a decade of experience developing pay equity algorithms as a data scientist for Salesforce, one of the world’s leading Fortune 500 companies. Sophare’s co-founder and CTO has led a distinguished career in the UK Civil Service and brings extensive engineering experience developing services in hand with legal, compliance, and policy teams. Together, Sophare AI and Locus Technologies will pursue their shared commitment to sustainability and equity, driven by data science.
“Compliance in HR is often seen as a box-ticking exercise, but it’s actually a gateway to bringing organizations into the era of AI,” said Duplan. “HR compliance in particular is a prime opportunity to tap into AI and automation for both significant productivity gains and to deliver a transparent workplace where employees can thrive. Our next-gen data solutions put social and pay equity on par with financial and environmental health.”
This partnership underscores Locus’s commitment to creating an integrated, end-to-end ESG software solution that stays ahead of a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and helps organizations surmount the biggest obstacles to compliance. Together, Locus and Sophare are transforming the “S” in ESG into a driver for meaningful, measurable impact.
