Business value
Unify your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data with sustainability data solutions in Microsoft Fabric. Prepare for sustainability, disclosures, analytics, and decision-making. This integrated approach helps you to drive sustainability initiatives, improve regulatory compliance, and meet your overall sustainability goals.
Feature details
With sustainability data solutions in Microsoft Fabric, you can ingest, harmonize, and process ESG data from disparate sources. Specific sustainability scenarios include ESG metrics computation, Azure emissions reporting, and environmental analytics.
The capabilities include:
- ESG data estate: This data estate allows you to combine ESG data from various sources into a standard schema that provides data models for environmental, social, and governance records. You can then use the standardized data to compute quantitative metrics that meet disclosure reporting requirements, such as Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). You can also use aggregated datasets in analytics.
- Microsoft Azure emissions insights: This data estate helps you to centralize, query, and analyze your Azure emissions data.
- Environmental metrics and analytics: This data estate helps you to directly connect your environmental data from Microsoft Sustainability Manager to the data lake as tables. You can then process this data according to your sustainability needs to create custom environmental notebooks and build insights to better understand your carbon, water, and waste emissions.
- Social and governance metrics and reports: This data estate allows you to combine disparate data from various sources into a standard schema that provides data models for social and governance records. You can then use the standardized data to define, compute, and analyze social and governance metrics. You can also visualize the trendlines and explore social and governance metrics through interactive dashboards.
