Business Central – Capture Sustainability Data with General Journals
Recording greenhouse gases using general journals allows businesses to track and reduce their carbon footprint and use double materiality more effectively. By integrating environmental data with financial records, companies can identify high-emission activities, make informed sustainability decisions, and enhance their corporate responsibility.
The proactive approach not only meets regulatory requirements but also attracts eco-conscious customers, strengthens brand reputation, and can lead to cost savings through more efficient resource management.
If you have emission details related to your financial data, you can post both types of data in a single line on the General Journals page. Just open a general journal and add the usual financial details. Then select the Sustainability Account, and enter the emission amounts you track for each account in the Total Emission CO2, Total Emission CH4, and Total Emission N2O fields. On the General Ledger Entries page, you can easily find the related Sustainability Entry using the Find entries action. This information is also available on the Posted General Journal page.
