Business Central – Use Water and Waste Management with Sustainability
Enjoy an improved ability to track your company’s environmental impacts in Business Central. Microsoft are broadening the Business Central measurement capabilities to include water and waste, which improves your ability to prepare for compliance reporting about specific areas, particularly for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
You can use the Sustainability Journals and Recurring Sustainability Journals pages to record water and waste intensity data, based on the existing Chart of Sustainability Accounts, but using new Emission Scopes – Water and Waste. You can use different account groups, subgroups, and formulas to make the collection of water and waste intensity as easy as possible. This feature also uses existing Sustainability Ledger Entries where data is recorded and used for reporting, so you can report both gas emissions and water and waste from the single source.
You can specifically track Water Intensity, Discharged Into Water, and Waste Intensity, using Water/Waste Intensity Type (Withdrawn, Discharged, Consumed, Recycled, Generated, Disposed, Recovered) and Water Type (Surface water, Sea water, Ground water, Third party water, Produced water). Sustainability Goals are also extended to cover water and waste management features.
