The circularity metrics reports in Microsoft Sustainability Manager help you to work towards a circular economy, which promotes sustainable practices and stimulates innovation. These reports can help track progress on improving the use of circular raw materials and the circular design principles of finished goods. They meet the requirements of disclosure standards such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
