Pi Day is more than just a celebration of the mathematical constant π—it’s a reminder of the essential role that math and science play in understanding and addressing some of the world’s most pressing issues. One of the biggest challenges we face today is climate change, and the work of scientists, environmental professionals, and innovators in the field of environmental technology is key to finding solutions that enable both Earth and industry to thrive. From reducing emissions to managing natural resources, the analysis of big data – big numbers! – is at the heart of driving positive impact. 

Locus Technologies is a shining example of how math and science helps organizations resolve environmental, climate, and sustainability challenges. With over 27 years of experience, Locus has been providing cutting-edge software solutions that enable organizations to manage and analyze environmental compliance data more effectively.   

One “constant” in Locus Technologies’ success is our dedicated team of in-house experts, including environmental engineers, civil and chemical engineers, chemists, geologists, hazardous waste specialists, data scientists, refrigerant experts, and embodied carbon professionals. For example, in the past three years, Locus GHG experts verified more than 50 million metric tons (MT) of emissions, helping organizations track and reduce their carbon footprints. That’s a lot of math and science at work. Our team’s deep knowledge in multiple, specialized fields of science enables Locus to continuously innovate and offer solutions that drive environmental progress. Their expertise ensures that the data provided through our platform is not only accurate but actionable, helping customers make informed decisions for a sustainable future. 

That brings us to the other key “constant” in our company’s story: we thrive in big and complex data. At Locus, we don’t just handle data—we harness its power to drive transformative change. Our cutting-edge SaaS platform equips environmental professionals with the precision and insight needed to make high-impact, data-driven decisions that boost both sustainability and profitability. Today, Locus powers over 500 million environmental records from more than 1.3 million global locations. Our state-of-the-art calculation engine executes billions of intricate, real-time computations using advanced scientific formulas to accurately measure carbon emissions for enterprises managing thousands of assets. This relentless processing capacity transforms raw data into actionable intelligence, revolutionizing environmental management, compliance, and sustainability programs. 

Locus serves over 11,000 active users and their 11,832,000+ logins, making Locus a vital platform for environmental professionals globally. The vast amount of data handled by Locus software is invaluable when it comes to monitoring environmental impacts and advancing sustainability efforts. For example, supporting 822 electronic data deliverable (EDD) formats and having loaded 329,214 EDDs into just one of our products to date, Locus ensures that data is accessible to the scientists who need it, enhancing both flexibility and usability. With 3,673 expert and intermediate queries on record, Locus supports environmental professionals in obtaining the critical data needed to make informed choices. The software generates over 6,000 enhanced formatted reports (EFRs), helping to ensure that environmental decisions are not only accurate but also streamlined and easily accessible.  

Pi Day is a time to reflect on how the power of math, represented by π, brings clarity to complex problems. By leveraging the numbers—whether it’s the millions of records or billions of calculations—Locus Technologies is helping drive environmental solutions that support a healthier planet. Here’s to the power of science and math in shaping a sustainable future!
