Centralize your ESG data and transform it into actionable insights
- Combine and standardize your ESG data from disparate sources using an extensible ESG data model that covers carbon, energy, water, waste, biodiversity, social, and governance activities. Use the data for robust analytics and reporting, such as for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Access datasets using Microsoft Sustainability Manager and other applications for scenarios like data audits and report generation.
- Centralize, query, and analyze carbon emissions generated when you use Microsoft Azure services. Analyze your usage-based emissions trends over time, by subscription and by resource, using interactive dashboards. Identify top emissions contributors and reduction opportunities and create custom reports.
- Directly connect your environmental data—including carbon, water, and waste data—from Microsoft Sustainability Manager. Create custom environmental notebooks and dashboard visualizations to analyze metrics and better understand your environmental impacts.
- Use prebuilt and custom metrics tools to transform data and align it with industry-specific data models. Prepare to meet reporting requirements, such as the CSRD.
- Centralize your data from various sources into a standard schema that provides models for social and governance records. Use the standardized data to define, compute, and analyze social and governance metrics—then visualize the metrics and trends using interactive dashboards.
