Business value

Use prebuilt metric definitions in Sustainability Data Solutions in Microsoft Fabric to compute CSRD quantitative metrics for downstream scenarios like environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, audits, and visualizations. Reduce your time and costs for complying with disclosure standards.

Feature details

This feature increases coverage of prebuilt ESG metrics in Sustainability data solutions in Fabric to cover all the remaining quantitative CSRD disclosure data points across European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS):

  • ESRS 2
  • E1
  • E2
  • E3
  • E4
  • E5
  • S1

Sustainability data solutions in Fabric also maps the prebuilt metrics to the corresponding Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) disclosure data point where there’s an overlap between CSRD and GRI disclosures. With this feature, you can:

  • Deploy the ESG data estate capability updates to view the updated metrics library definitions and updated notebooks for generating required aggregate tables.

  • Use the existing pipelines and functions for generating aggregate and metric tables. After the metrics compute, you can visualize your data with a prebuilt dashboard.
