Monitor and reduce your carbon footprint with Continia Sustainability
Continia Sustainability helps you track, report, and reduce your carbon footprint directly in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It provides tools for carbon accounting and emissions monitoring to support your sustainability efforts. The Getting started section points you to key features, setup guidance, and background articles on carbon accounting and the GHG protocol.
How Continia Sustainability extends Business Central
What Continia Sustainability brings to Business Central:
- Access to verified emission factors - Continia offers access to various emission factor datasets from official sources worldwide, including the UK, the US, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and more. See the Emission factor databases article for more information about the available datasets.
- Integration with Document Capture and Expense Management - gather relevant activity data through other Continia solutions. For more information, see the Continia Sustainability and Document Capture and Continia Sustainability and Expense Management articles.
- Invoice-level sustainability tracking - add emission data directly at the invoice registration stage in Business Central.
- Direct data import into environmental journals - import activity data directly into environmental journals from G/L or Item Ledger accounts.
- Customizable reporting - tailor sustainability reports to reflect specific years, business units, or organizational structures that are most relevant to you. For more information, refer to the Working with reports article.
- Activity-based emission allocation - use an activity-based approach that allows a single activity’s emissions to be allocated across multiple GHG scopes (e.g., fuels contributing to both Scope 1 and Scope 3).
- Facility- and process-level reporting - configure emission reporting for specific facilities and processes.
- Scope and category assignment - define accounting boundaries to automate the classification of emissions into appropriate GHG scopes and categories.
- Purchased electricity emissions reporting - report purchased electricity emissions using both market and location approaches, including detailed energy breakdowns (renewable, nuclear, and fossil.) See the Emission type article.
- Emission factor recalculation - recalculate emissions from already posted transactions if updates or corrections to emission factors are needed. For more information, refer to the Updating emissions estimates with recalculation features article.
