Business value
You can seamlessly integrate the Project ESG Reporting app with Sustainability features for streamlined compliance reporting that aligns with standards like CSRD, ASRS, and BRSR. Future expansions are also planned. This feature eliminates the need for repetitive data entry and lets you manage non-transactional data outside of Business Central. It marks another milestone in Microsoft's commitment to fostering collaboration across business applications, enhancing efficiency and compliance for users.
Feature details
Leverage Sustainability features to measure environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste intensity while maintaining data required for compliance reporting. You can also use features such as statistical accounts to track and measure social and governance effects.
This feature allows you to collect sustainability data and align it with regulatory taxonomies that are required for reporting under various standards, such as Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). After you collect and aggregate data in Business Central, you can seamlessly transfer it to the Project ESG Reporting (preview) app, where you can add more text or contextual information as needed. The reporting process ends by generating files that comply with regulatory requirements for submission, which streamlines the entire sustainability reporting workflow.
This integration provides a solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to meet complex ESG reporting requirements with greater ease. It allows you to access and map sustainability metrics directly from Business Central into Project ESG Reporting (preview).
This solution includes:
- Integration of scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emission metrics from Business Central into Project ESG Reporting (preview).
- Ability to map metrics from Business Central to existing concepts in Project ESG Reporting (preview).
- Create metric values and associate them with mapped concepts and an assessment.
