Enterprise decision intelligence for sustainability and risk
About Rio
Rio (Rio AI Limited) is a UK-based sustainability intelligence company that turns granular operational and supply-chain data into explainable decision intelligence, enabling organisations to manage sustainability and enterprise risk in-house. The platform covers sustainability accounting, ESG and compliance, carbon and net-zero strategy, and impact reporting, and is built on neurosymbolic AI that combines machine learning with rule-based reasoning for auditable, verifiable outputs. Formerly known as Ditto AI (and originally Empiricom Technologies), the company began as an explainable-AI advisor-bot business and rebranded to Rio as it focused on sustainability and risk. It serves UK government departments, the NHS, local authorities, private equity and secondary-market investors, FTSE-listed businesses and large infrastructure customers with operations in over 100 countries.
