Reduce your carbon footprint with Continia Sustainability
CSRD, ESRS, GHG, GRI, CDP—the world of ESG and climate action is filled with abbreviations. Each of them plays a big role in helping companies reduce their carbon footprints. But the main idea is simple: you need to measure and report your emissions accurately.
Accurately reporting your emissions depends on how easily you can track them. If you can’t measure your emissions correctly, trying to reduce them is like shooting in the dark—you won’t know if your efforts are hitting the mark.
Continia Sustainability is a comprehensive carbon management platform for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This solution streamlines your carbon accounting and ESG reporting by providing you with the tools to collect, manage, and track all your company’s climate impact data.
Whether you're aiming for carbon neutrality or dealing with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Continia Sustainability equips you with the tools to accurately calculate emissions, reduce your carbon footprint, and generate impactful sustainability reports.
Compliant with the CSRD
From January 2023, large companies and listed SMEs in the EU must comply with the CSRD. This means they must provide detailed reports on their sustainability efforts and how they manage social and environmental risks. The EU sustainability reporting directive aims to increase transparency about how businesses affect the environment and society.
When reporting on environmental, social, and governance factors (ESG factors), the environmental aspect is often the most challenging for companies to tackle. Continia Sustainability simplifies compliance with the CSRD by using your existing financial data to create accurate environmental reports, ready to go into your ESG assessment.

Accurately calculate your GHG emissions
New EU rules require detailed carbon footprint reporting. Accurately calculating and tracking your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is critical for understanding your entire carbon footprint. Your company must now account for what you burn, buy, and everything else throughout your entire supply chain.
With Continia Sustainability, you can automatically calculate your emissions in 15 categories across the three scopes. You can also choose between activity-based and spend-based methods to ensure comprehensive and accurate carbon accounting. This allows you to easily meet regulatory requirements and choose the best approach for your business needs.
Effortlessly import your environmental and financial data
Streamline the process of importing environmental and financial data into your environmental journals. Continia Sustainability makes it easy to import data from different sources like purchase invoices, item ledger entries, and credit memos.
When managing environmental records, it is crucial to ensure that data is always up-to-date and accurate. You can automatically import new entries by linking source tables (e.g. G/L Entry or Item Ledger Entry) to specific Environmental Account types and numbers. This means that whenever you add data to the ledger, it automatically updates in the corresponding journal.

Easily calculate your company's carbon footprint with access to over 50,000 emission factor datasets. Our database pulls from official sources, so you don’t have to waste time searching for the right information. You can easily consult various sources, review values, and choose the most suitable data for your specific needs.
With this solution, you get the most updated data for accurate carbon footprint calculations. Whenever new emission factors are released, you can easily recalculate the emissions of posted items. The system automatically logs every change, ensuring complete transparency.
Want even more accuracy? You can also add customized emission factors. Whether they come from your own calculations or specific supplier data, Continia Sustainability adapts to meet your unique needs.
