Business value
Enhancements to the existing what-if analysis feature in Microsoft Sustainability Manager helps your organization build a relationship between forecasting and reduction goal planning. You can link forecasts to existing goals to track actual progress alongside the projected one. In addition, forecasts with the same historical data can be layered onto a single view, allowing for faster analysis of optimal reduction opportunities.
Feature details
Take the guesswork out of the environmental and business impacts resulting from a change to your suppliers or practices. Use what-if analysis in Sustainability Manager to compare your organization's current carbon emissions trends with scenarios involving different variables in your business model. Visualize the potential impact of changing variables such as switching suppliers.
