Continia Sustainability is an end-to-end solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that enables you to collect, manage, and track all data related to your company's climate impact. Signing up and getting started is easy, and you don't need complex integrations because Continia Sustainability is already fully integrated into Business Central.

What Continia Sustainability brings to Business Central:

  • Continia offers access to various emission factor datasets from official sources worldwide, including the UK, the US, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and more.
  • It integrates with Continia's Document Capture and Expense Management to gather relevant activity data.
  • You can integrate sustainability information at the invoice registration stage in Business Central.
  • You can import activity data directly into environmental journals from G/L or Item Ledger accounts.
  • You can customize reports to show the specific company information and years that are most relevant to you.
  • It employs an activity-based approach rather than scope-based, allowing emissions from one activity to be allocated across different scopes simultaneously (for example, fuels reported in both scopes 1 and 3).
  • You can set up specific facilities and processes to report on particular emission types.
  • Together with leasing contracts and investment types, you can specify accounting boundaries to automatically assign emissions to relevant scopes and categories.
  • You can report purchased electricity emissions using both market and location approaches, along with related energy mix composition (renewable, nuclear, and fossil.)
  • Emission recalculation from posted items is possible in case emission factors need updating or correction.
