Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability

Time to take action

New requirements from the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board), recently revealed its intentions to incorporate Scope 3 emissions into compulsory reporting criteria. Companies will be facing detailed sustainability reporting requirements from the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in 2024 making the access to real-time, accurate data absolutely crucial.

Microsoft's Cloud for Sustainability includes solutions that are built on the capabilities of Microsoft Sustainability Manager, Common Data Model, Microsoft 365, Azure, Surface, Windows 11, Teams, and Microsoft Power Platform. 

With the Sustainability Manager specifically including the capability to store activity data and calculate all scope 3 emissions, the Microsoft's Cloud for Sustainability is the ideal solution to help you navigate your ESG journey.

Failure’s not an option

The significance of ESG is clear to us. A notable outcome from a recent Delaware round-table suggests that companies not participating in ESG practices risk ceasing operations within the next five to 10 years.

This is partly because of the commitments outlined in the government’s environmental policy, which mandate substantial changes for organizations.

At Delaware, sustainability is a core principle. Our various programs, which frequently correspond with the UN’s sustainability objectives, have consistently earned accolades from entities that advocate for sustainable practices.
