Core capabilities of Microsoft Sustainability Manager can be extended quickly and easily using familiar Azure and Power Platform tools to create custom solutions, such as new formulas or reports. With Microsoft Sustainability Manager, Microsoft is allowing organizations to gain continuous visibility into their emissions activities and water data, reliably report their impact and progress in near real time, and access the intelligence required to collaborate with others to refine and scale sustainability initiatives and transform their business, end to end.
Water sustainability preview features enable organizations to record, estimate, analyze, and report on water quantity and quality data to meet use cases such as water sustainability disclosures and regulatory water quality reporting. Water quantity data includes water volume measurements such as water withdrawal and discharges that are linked to water sources. This data helps organizations analyze and report the balance between water withdrawn, consumed, and discharged in their facilities from various water sources at the organization and facility levels. Water quality data includes facility-level measurements related to the chemical, physical, and biological properties of water that are linked to reference data, such as sampling procedures and testing methods. This data helps organizations address use cases such as effluent quantities and their reference ranges in wastewater for regulatory water quality reporting.
