Business Functionality
Starting from January 2023, large companies and listed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the EU market must report their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impact as mandated by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Similar regulations are being implemented worldwide, encouraging businesses to enhance transparency in their environmental reporting. Continia Sustainability simplifies ESG reporting within Business Central, helping companies monitor their carbon footprint and initiate sustainability efforts smoothly.
Continia Sustainability seamlessly integrates with other Continia solutions like Document Capture and Expense Management. It simplifies the measurement of CO2 emissions and raises awareness about them through financial operations. By automating carbon accounting, Continia Sustainability offers a robust framework for collecting, managing, and tracking your company's carbon emission data, including energy, fuels, purchased goods, waste, travel, and more. This simplifies expense report compliance and provides users with accurate data on their carbon footprint. This information enables companies to take the necessary actions to reduce their carbon footprint.
