Solera Recognized with Three SEAL Business Sustainability Awards for Advancing Climate-Intelligent Auto Repair

Westlake, Texas - February 2026

Solera has been recognized with three honors at the 2026 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards, acknowledging the company's leadership in embedding measurable, real-time sustainability intelligence into the global automotive repair ecosystem.

The SEAL Awards, which recognize environmental achievement and leadership across industries, honored Solera in the following categories:

• SEAL Environmental Initiative Award for Transforming Auto Repair into a Climate-Positive Ecosystem
• SEAL Sustainable Innovation Award for Real-Time Carbon Intelligence for Auto Repair
• SEAL Sustainable Product Award for Sustainable Estimatics: Real-Time CO₂ Intelligence

These recognitions highlight Solera's continued commitment to making sustainability operational, data-driven, and scalable across one of the world's most energy-intensive service sectors.

Turning sustainability into daily decision-making

Historically, carbon emissions associated with automotive repair such as paint curing, energy consumption, logistics, and repair-versus-replace decisions were largely unmeasured and managed only through high-level estimates or reporting. Solera's award-winning initiatives change that model by embedding verified CO₂ intelligence directly into the repair estimating workflow used by repairers, insurers, and OEMs worldwide.

At the core of this approach is Sustainable Estimatics, Solera's real-time carbon intelligence capability that quantifies emissions at the moment repair decisions are made. By integrating lifecycle material data, energy modeling, logistics impacts, and AI-driven analysis based on more than 430 million historical repair events, Solera enables users to see the environmental impact of each choice instantly and act on it within their existing systems

Measurable impact at scale

A key proof point recognized by the SEAL judges is Solera's collaboration with Axalta to integrate Fast Cure Low Energy (FCLE) coatings into Sustainable Estimatics. Once paired with Solera's carbon engine, the environmental benefits of FCLE became quantifiable in live repair environments, delivering verified results including:

• 55% reduction in energy-related footprint in bodyshop operations

• 50% reduction in gas consumption

• 48% reduction in electricity usage

These outcomes, validated through pilots and now scaling globally, demonstrate how product-level innovation and data-driven decision-making can deliver both environmental and operational benefits without disrupting existing workflows

Building a climate-positive repair ecosystem

The Environmental Initiative Award further recognizes Solera's broader ambition to transform auto repair into a climate-positive ecosystem. Through ISO 14064-1 aligned methodologies, Solera has become the first company to provide third-party validated CO₂ calculations at the individual claim level, giving insurers, OEMs, and repair networks transparent, auditable data to support ESG reporting, Science-Based Targets, and regulatory compliance.

Today, Solera's carbon intelligence capabilities are live in more than thirty countries across Europe, Americas, and APAC, supporting tens of thousands of repair facilities and enabling consistent emissions reduction across diverse markets and regulatory environments

Advancing sustainability through technology

The SEAL Awards recognize organizations that move sustainability from ambition to action. Solera's three awards reflect a long-term investment in engineering, data science, and cross-industry collaboration to ensure environmental responsibility is built directly into everyday operations.

By making emissions visible, measurable, and actionable at the point of decision, Solera continues to help the automotive ecosystem reduce environmental impact while improving efficiency, transparency, and trust across the value chain.
