What’s new 2023 R2: A glimpse into our major release

Utilizing Continia for sustainability reporting

Scheduled for release in 2024, Contina Sustainability is set to transform how companies approach their carbon accounting. It may be a while away, but we want to share some insights into what we’ll offer in the first release and beyond! With Continia’s solutions, you have a strong framework for collecting, managing, and tracking your company’s carbon emissions data across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. This encompasses a comprehensive overview of direct and indirect emissions, ensuring complete visibility throughout your entire value chain.

Moving towards green accountability

Since January 2023, the European Union has started implementing the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), requiring businesses to report their environmental and social impact. The framework sets up a large number of factors and indicators used to calculate and report on company emissions. Continia Sustainability is designed to align with this directive, using the data you already handle in your day-to-day financial operations and giving you the power to report on your ESG goals – all within Business Central.  

Measuring environmental impact - with the financial data at hand

Calculating your company’s emissions in terms of greenhouse gases is a complex and daunting task - everything from direct emissions during daily operations to indirect emissions generated throughout the value chain counts. With Continia’s integrated solutions, you’re one step closer to working with your emissions data in a structured and approachable way - based on the transactions data you already work with in Business Central. Continia Sustainability’s seamless integration with Expense Management and Document Capture provides an easy way to manage and collect your data, automating your carbon accounting and transforming it from a monumental task into a streamlined component of your routine financial processes.   

Looking ahead: Full ESG reporting

Carbon accounting is the main feature of Continia Sustainability, and calculating the environmental footprint of organizations’ operations is the first pillar of Continia Sustainability. But our goal extends beyond emissions, aiming to simplify ESG reporting. Looking into the future, our ambition is to make it easier to report on other facets of ESG - not only emissions – transforming how you think about your company’s sustainability. While our ambition is to make reporting easier, we always keep in mind that these actions are a necessary step towards reaching net zero – and that we all share a responsibility to do so.  We're looking forward to giving you even more insights into Continia Sustainability over the coming months – and helping companies on their sustainability journey.
